After working a little with the React-Redux-Saga ecosystem, and working with others that were still new to it, I came to realize some parts of the frameworks can be a little confusing so I decided to write this post to explain how everything works together. This article isn't meant to explain everything, but give a brief overview of the different sections of the ecosystem and how they interact with each other in case you need to work on an existing project or need to think about which technology to use for new project.

Over the years, many styles of indentation have surfaced. From K&R to Allman, Whitesmiths or GNU, using tabs vs spaces, there are a lot of choices. So how do you pick one?

I will not advocate for a single style, but will give you guidelines on how to choose one that will last long and reduce the headaches that could be created with refactorings and such.

Just like "Manager" or "Data", I think "Service" is another word we should ban from our code. When you read Domain Driven Design theory, services are there to help you correctly separate concerns and contain some domain logic while handling other domain objects. Although services are an integral part of DDD, it's not a design pattern so you shouldn't have a class name containing "Service".

CrudRepositories may seem like a nice way to boost productivity, but I think they lead to bad design and I'll explain why.

There are a lot of tools to work with code now and it's getting harder and harder to choose between the different editors, IDEs, compilers, linkers, build engines, version control systems and such. How do you choose between all of them? I'll focus mainly on editors and IDEs for the moment might come back for other tools later on. My point here is not to tell you which editor or IDE to use or not, but help you choose the correct one for you.
