What is Scaffold?
Automatically generating the basic structure and code for a new feature, component, or project.
Why It Matters
Scaffolding speeds up development by creating consistent starting points for new pieces of code.
Real-World Example
Running a CLI command that generates a new React component with its test file and stylesheet.
“Understanding terms like Scaffold matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
