Hi AllSemua,

If you've signed up for this mailing list, I'm guessing you have some interest in JavaScript. It's no secret that JavaScript is my favorite programming language and I've written a lot of blog posts and books about it. My goal is always to help teach others best practices and to avoid common pitfalls. One of those common pitfalls is, I believe, exporting defaults from JavaScript modules. In my post, Why I've stopped exporting defaults from my JavaScript modules, I describe my journey to finally eliminating defaults in my modules and some of the advantages of avoiding defaults altogether.

Take care.

Nicholas
