I'm primarily a frontend-leaning developer, but I've got solid experience on the backend too. Unlike the average junior who requires constant hand-holding, I'm quick to pick up new technologies. You could throw me into the deep end, and I'd figure out how to swim in no time.

My projects are available on my GitHub profile (https://github.com/jahriko)

I use https://rescuetime.com

I'm currently building a project using App Router. Here are my thoughts so far:

1. In React Server Components, you fetch data at the component level instead of route level. You can pass the data down as props if it's a client component.

2. I'm not sure if HMR is faster in Pages, but in App Router it tends to be slow. I always use --turbo to see changes quickly, but it can still be a bit buggy.

3. I just found out that using "use client" directive isn't actually sending 100% javascript to the client. It's just a replacement of serverSideProps. The component is rendered both on the server and the client, which can be confusing at first. You can disable SSR using dynamic imports.

4. I actually like Route Groups, best feature by far.

I just enjoy the journey of building the project instead of fixating on the "finish line".

Shadcn/ui and TailwindUI. I want to love Mantine but I don't enjoy having to style in a separate file.

I rarely see SQL Server being used alongside Next.js. But Prisma is quite popular in js land. There's also DrizzleORM, which is still relatively new. I'd recommend spending some time exploring both to see what fits you best :)

Since it remembers what was said earlier in the conversation, I wonder if it's possible to feed chatgpt the entire MDN javascript documentation just by copy pasting and let it solve a complex problem.

I use Yonce theme

Take a look at RxDB https://rxdb.info/

You should be careful with your thoughts.

There's this type of bias (I forget the name, I think it's availability heuristic?) where you overthink things to a point that it becomes the central point of your thought and think that everything is going downhill.

The whole article can be summed up to :

1. Think of something 2. Return to that thought from time to time 3. Repeat

I read the comment section first to see if it's worth reading. And when they do, I skim the whole article starting from intro then headings (without reading the paragraph) then skip to conclusion. If they intrigue me I go back to those headings and read the whole paragraph. But if they contain too much flowery words I just close the tab.

I went down the rabbit hole only to realize that none of them provide better tooling for organizing scattered thoughts. Now I just use Obsidian's Daily Notes and embrace the fact that no one can provide better note organization, though it still annoys me that it takes seconds to open the app despite the fact that I didn't install any plugins and turned off most of the features that were unnecessary to me.

Climate change is a very complicated problem. Virtual reality does not solve it. Author's bet is just another example of shallow thinking.

There's a program for this, https://espanso.org/ You can add some trigger words in the YAML file.

for example :

    - trigger: ":date"
      replace: "{{mydate}}"
      vars:
        - name: mydate
          type: date
          params:
            format: "%m/%d/%Y"

If I type : date (without the space) it would automatically convert it to 06/08/2022. It's pretty cool.

I also found this one https://www.autohotkey.com/ but I haven't tried it yet.
