Recently I’ve been playing around with some Angular functionalities, which are: effect, afterRenderEffect, afterNextRender, afterEveryRender and Renderer2. You don’t see them used much compared to signals or computed. Maybe only effect is more common, however how and when to use the rest? I wanted t
Lately, I've been interviewing candidates for a Senior Angular Developer role, and I've ended up rejecting the majority of them. Am I a jerk for that? Maybe. But here's what I've realized from these interviews: we live in a bubble. Most of us spend our day-to-day work calling APIs, caching data, and
I used to think the whole try-and-fail wording was just a catchy phrase people threw around to sound deep. Turns out it has some truth to it and the fail part is very real. Failing sucks, and many times, It's not just some feel good “learning opportunity”. It usually comes with blame, criticism, and
You’ve probably heard the Vue crowd singing praises about Nuxt, and the React folks wouldn’t dare start a project without Next.js.

The task was a bit abstract, but we had to
On the recent Angular live interview in January 2025 a question was asked: "Are we ditching Observables and RxJs?". A simple answer is that RxJs had became optional, but it is far from obsolete. The introduction of signals has added a new tool to Angular's reactive programming toolbox, but RxJs rema
Recently, I came across the following dynamic service instantiation in Angular from Roberto Heckers, where he generates a service based on some condition. Occasionally, we bump into a use case where you have multiple services, each of them sharing the same method name with a different implementation
In June 2024, I published an article Advanced RxJs Operators You Know But Not Well Enough, which received significant attention and many of you found it useful. Since RxJS remains essential in Angular and has a vast number of operators, I decided to create a part 2 of this article to highlight some
At the time of writing this article, Angular is approaching the version 19 release and it brings a new API called resource. A great in-depth article is to read Enea Jahollari - Everything you need to know about the resource API. While the resource API is available from version 19, Angular npm downlo
One of the first things you learn about Angular is to avoid executing function calls in a template,...
