Discover the YAGNI principle: a core software engineering practice that emphasizes simplicity and focus. Learn how YAGNI can help you avoid overengineering, reduce complexity, and build efficient, maintainable React applications by addressing only what’s needed now.
Hash tables are a cornerstone of computer science, providing fast lookups and efficient key-value storage. But how do they work, and what happens when two keys collide? By building a hash table from scratch, we can uncover its inner mechanics, address the challenge of collisions, and compare it to JavaScript’s built-in Objects and Maps.
