- +Related to: software-architecture, system-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Literature Review
Developers should learn and conduct literature reviews when starting new projects, exploring unfamiliar technologies, or conducting research to avoid reinventing solutions and build upon established knowledge
Pros
- +It is crucial for making informed decisions about architecture, libraries, or methodologies, such as when choosing between machine learning frameworks or evaluating security best practices
- +Related to: research-methodology, academic-writing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
