summary
Works on import-export at git lobo and describes seven recurring frontend pains with concrete examples: a large table refactor moves row UI into tiny components so old tests stay green but become harmful; mutation testing surfaces weak tests but not dead ones; an import feature built on BootstrapVue reveals toolchain brittleness; Vue 3 migration drags months while maintaining a pile of incompatible libs; 25 PRs land in devtools; review fatigue produces “looks good to me” on huge PRs; measuring individual devs backfires.
