I Still Write Contracts Like It’s 2018
Not gonna lie I still open Remix when I need to test something fast. Everyone’s using Hardhat and full CI setups now but sometimes you just wanna paste a few lines and see what happens.
Call it lazy maybe but it works for me.
Thing is most of the contracts I write are simple. A few mappings, a couple modifiers, maybe some time logic. No need to turn it into a production pipeline unless you're launching some big thing.
Don’t get me wrong I like Hardhat too. Especially when I need to write proper tests. But it doesn’t mean I’m gonna abandon the old ways. Remix taught me most of what I know and it still saves my day sometimes.
Not everything has to be a factory with TypeScript and deploy scripts. Sometimes the best way to debug is just to hit “Deploy” and see where it breaks.
