    The pivotal moment of transitioning from intermediate to advanced @typescript was realizing the type system is a programming language in itself, w/ variables, functions, conditionals, & loops. Utility types like Required, Record, Pick, Omit are all built with these primitives.

    Big news! My wife and I bought our first home, right in Dayton, Ohio!! Moved in 3 weeks ago. This place is a dream for us, but know it only costs a fraction of what this would cost in most places in the US. I've got an entire 11'x12' office that I'm setting up as a dream

    My professional opinion is that you should build new apps with Remix instead of Next.js It feels like next.js has become too complex to manage. Made extra challenging that it’s not directly driving revenue, so hard to justify the investment it really needs. This is after

    What is this you ask? It's the built-in @nextjs "take a break" screen that happens about every 20 minutes while developing. 😥 The app router dev speed is certainly faster than old pages router now, but you still get dumb stuff like this. This is latest nextjs + node v20

    I just found 6 hidden bugs in our code by adding these eslint rules 👀 You have to upgrade to eslint 8.14+ to use no-constant-binary-expression, but I very much recommend it!
    "no-cond-assign": "error",
    "no-constant-condition": "error",
    "no-unreachable": "error",
    "no-unused-expressions": "error",
    "no-constant-binary-expression": "error",
    "no-sequences": "error",

    meme. Child says to Vercel, "i don't know how to create a database". Vercel says "I'll take care of you". Vercel comforts child but for lots of dollar signs
