One of my aspects of JavaScript that drew me to it as a young developers was that its syntax was loose and I could code quickly. As you gain experience as an engineer, you start to realize that some traditional coding structure is a good thing, even if it slows you down. Using Jest or TypeScript to add typing to your JavaScript can save you from maintenance headaches and unexpected errors, for example.

For a lot of real-world situations, I'm a big fan of "event driven programming", or as I think about it, "bus oriented programming" Instead of coupling objects directly, objects just publish events to a shared bus, and the events get routed to the other objects which care about them, in a declarative fashion. It's not a "write all programs" this way sort of stance, it's just there are a lot of real world cases where I've found this to be very effective.
