AI-assisted code review reliably catches mechanical problems like style violations, obvious bugs, and missing error handling before human review time gets spent. This article shows what tools like Claude Code are genuinely good at in review, where they fail at business logic and architectural understanding, and how both layers can be combined without replacing human accountability.

A third-party module shows only a placeholder in the Hyvä theme because its frontend still relies on Knockout.js, UI components and RequireJS widgets. Anyone who wants to use it permanently and performantly needs to make it Hyvä compatible: rewrite templates as phtml with Alpine.js, replace LESS with Tailwind utilities and register every script CSP compliant. This article covers the concrete process and the realistic effort involved.

An autocomplete combobox sounds simple, until you have to bring together ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, screen reader announcements, and focus management. With Alpine.js, all of this can be solved declaratively, without a single line of jQuery.

Chat buttons that keyboard users cannot reach, focus traps when the chat window opens, and messages that stay invisible to screen readers: live chat widgets are among the most commonly overlooked barriers in e-commerce frontends.

JavaScript Proxy lets you place a stand-in in front of an object that intercepts every read, write, delete and function call. Reflect is the symmetric counterpart: it exposes the language's default behaviors as first-class functions. Together they form the foundation for reactive data systems, validation layers, logging proxies and virtual objects in modern JavaScript.

Remote development in PhpStorm is more than SFTP upload and hoping for the best. With the right SSH setup, a configured remote interpreter, port forwarding for Xdebug, and the JetBrains Remote Development mode, you can work on distant servers with the same IDE experience as locally.

Debouncing with setTimeout is a pragmatic crutch, not a solution. useDeferredValue from React 18 defers expensive render work without a fixed time window, so the browser stays responsive while the result list updates in the background.

API Platform automatically generates GraphQL schemas from PHP entities, which sounds like the simplest possible solution. In practice, though, the limits show up quickly: complex mutations, domain-specific validation, N+1 performance problems, and a lack of control over the generated schema. This article shows when API Platform GraphQL is enough, and when it needs to be extended or replaced.

A struck through old price next to a highlighted new price is one of the strongest visual signals in e-commerce, but plain CSS strikethrough via text-decoration stays completely invisible to screen reader users. Using the semantic elements del and ins correctly instead, giving discount badges a text alternative, and phrasing price ranges for product variants clearly turns a purely visual price treatment into information every user can reliably retrieve.

The Holy Grail Layout of header, two side columns, main content and footer was long considered one of the hardest CSS problems around. With CSS Grid, template areas, gap and subgrid, the same layout can be built today in a handful of clearly readable lines, with no float hacks, no tables and no fragile absolute positioning.
