The Senior Frontend PR Checklist
25 checks senior developers run on every pull request, so your code gets approved faster and you start being seen as the senior in the room.
Before you request review
2 of 5 checked
Not ready for review
5 of the 25 checks. The PDF has the rest.
What's inside
Five groups of five checks, one page, made to keep open next to your pull request.
- Readability
- Spot components that do too much.
- State and data
- Loading, error and empty states you're probably missing.
- Performance
- The quick checks that prevent slow pages.
- Quality
- Tests that catch real bugs, not implementation details.
- Team
- Pull requests that reviewers actually want to open.
Who's behind this
I've been building production frontends for 20+ years, from e-commerce platforms to design systems and performance refactors, and I've led and mentored other developers along the way. This checklist is what I wish someone had handed me in my first years.
