Coding Workflow Best Practices

Code Review Approach

1. Understand before changing: Read the code thoroughly before suggesting modifications
2. Check for patterns: Look for existing patterns in the codebase and follow them
3. Consider edge cases: Think about null, empty, boundary conditions
4. Security awareness: Watch for injection, XSS, improper auth patterns

Debugging Strategy

1. Reproduce first: Confirm the issue before attempting fixes
2. Isolate the problem: Narrow down to the smallest reproducible case
3. Read error messages carefully: They often contain the solution
4. Check recent changes: What changed since it last worked?
5. Verify assumptions: Test each assumption individually
