Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Front-end developers can write better code by following the "rule of three" (only refactor code after you've written the same thing three times to avoid over-engineering) and "make it work, make it right, make it fast" (prioritize getting code to function correctly before optimizing for performance). These guidelines help devs make better decisions while coding and avoid common pitfalls like premature optimization and unnecessary complexity.
