Part 1: What is Clean Architecture?
Clean Architecture, introduced by Robert C. Martin, aims to create systems that are easy to understand, flexible, and maintainable by emphasizing separation of concerns. It organizes code into concentric circles, where dependencies only flow inward, ensuring modularity and testability. The architecture allows for improved testability, flexibility, maintainability, reusability, and scalability by keeping business logic decoupled from external dependencies like frameworks and databases.

Should We Use ChatGPT as Developers?
Developers should consider using GPT tools like ChatGPT primarily to enhance rather than replace their learning. Early-career developers are advised to avoid using GPT to ensure they gain crucial problem-solving skills through experience. For those with a solid understanding, GPT can be a valuable time-saver for specific, well-defined tasks. The key is to use GPT to augment development skills, not fully depend on it, while being mindful of real-world project complexities and sensitive data handling.

Practical Guide to Creating a Design System
Creating a design system involves selecting a suitable UI framework, defining both light and dark themes, and organizing the system into a reusable package. Using tools like Storybook for documentation and ensuring regression UI testing minimizes unexpected issues. Avoid custom CSS and components to reduce complexity and maintenance costs. While initially labor-intensive, this approach significantly reduces the marginal cost of developing new front-end pages.
