Why software engineers choose Linux over Windows for programming
Most software engineers choose Linux over Windows for programming. I was a big fan of Windows OS, and have been using it for years. Since I started programming I found that a Linux distro (such as Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Arch) is the best Operating System to start with.

JavaScript Tips, Ticks, and Best Practices
Using Numeric Separators is one of the most used operators when I have to deal with large numbers. Always use semi-colons for line termination. Use splice instead of using delete to remove an item from an array. Using delete will remove the object, but will not reindex the array or update its length.

Utilise JSDoc comment tags so that VSCode intellisense works great!
Intellisense in VS Code only works if it understands the type of your code. Without proper intellisensing, we often make typos, call the method which doesn't exist or even try to access the properties of an objects by a random guess. To handle such and more complex scenarios, we will use JSDoc's @param , @type and @typedef block tags.

JavaScript Hoisting
JavaScript hoisting refers to the process where the compiler allocates memory for variable and function declarations prior to execution of code [1]. That means that declarations are moved to the top of their scope before code execution regardless of whether its scope is global or local. The code snippets below show hoisting in action: declare the function first and use/invoke it after.

Understanding JavaScript decorators
Decorating is simply wrapping one piece of code with another, thereby decorating it. A decorator (also known as a decorator function) can additionally refer to the design pattern that wraps a function with another function to extend its functionality. The concept of decorators is not new in JavaScript because higher-order functions are a form of function decorators. The TC39 class decorator proposal aims to solve this problem.
