Development Learnings & Best Practices

🎯 Language Switch Implementation - Lesson Learned

Problem: Language switching button caused page freezing/unusual behavior.

❌ Wrong Approach (Over-engineering):

// Complex function overriding with async callbacks
const originalUpdateLanguage = updateLanguage;
updateLanguage = function (lang) {
    originalUpdateLanguage(lang);
    setTimeout(() => { /* complex async operations */ }, 10);
};

✅ Correct Approach (Simple & Direct):

document.getElementById('lang-toggle').addEventListener('click', function () {
    const newLang = currentLang === 'es' ? 'en' : 'es';
    updateLanguage(newLang);
    renderWebProjects();
    renderCertifications();
    updateFeaturedApp();
    renderProjects();
});

Key Learnings:

1. Simplicity over complexity - Don't overcomplicate simple problems
2. Trust existing code flow - renderProjects() already handles translations internally
3. Sequential operations - Most operations are lightweight enough to be synchronous
4. Avoid premature optimization - Don't assume async is needed without profiling

Principle: "Less code is more maintainable. Confidence in existing design over reinvention."
