Modern applications are built around APIs. Whether you're building a React application, a Next.js website, an Angular dashboard, or a Vue.js SPA, nearly every user interaction involves communication with backend services. Logging in. Fetching user profiles. Making payments. Uploading files. Retrieving analytics. Every one of these operations happens through APIs. Unfortunately, APIs have also become one of the biggest attack surfaces in modern software development.

For many software engineers, code reviews are simply the final checkpoint before merging code. For senior engineers, they're much more than that. A great code review improves software quality, spreads knowledge across the team, prevents expensive production bugs, reinforces engineering standards, and helps junior developers grow. Unfortunately, many teams treat code reviews as either a formality or a gatekeeping exercise. Reviewers focus on formatting instead of architecture.

The Rise of AI Doesn't Mean the End of React Artificial Intelligence has fundamentally changed how software is built. Today, developers can generate React components with a single prompt, scaffold complete applications in minutes, and even debug production issues with AI-powered coding assistants. Naturally, many React developers are asking: Will AI replace React developers? Is React still worth learning? What does the future of React look like in an AI-first world?
