Programming problem: Remove Element

Programming problem: Remove Element

Use a write pointer to overwrite matching values in place: iterate the array, and for each element not equal to `val`, write it at the pointer position and advance. Returns `k` non-matching elements in O(n) time and O(1) space.

Programming problem: Max Consecutive Ones

Programming problem: Max Consecutive Ones

Track the current streak of 1s and reset on 0. A single pass through the array in O(n) time and O(1) space gives you the maximum consecutive count — no extra data structures needed.

Frontend architecture patterns

Frontend architecture patterns

As frontend apps grow, clean architecture becomes essential. This article breaks down key patterns — MVC, HMVC, Clean Architecture, and Hexagonal Architecture — explaining how each helps keep your code organized, testable, and easy to maintain over time.

Scaling frontend applications

Scaling frontend applications

Frontend scaling isn't just about users — it's about helping more developers work together without breaking things. This article compares monoliths, modular monoliths, and micro-frontends, plus monorepo vs. multi-repo setups, to help you choose the right approach as your team grows.
