VSCode: Humble Beginnings
Yesterday, I started tinkering w/ VSCode and managed to learn about some really useful extensions [i.e, Auto Tags, Emmet, and Snippets] Known for configuring every setting on every digital device - this aspect was fun...until we got to the config files for linting 🤯
It's pretty important to have spellcheck/auto-correct/auto-format-on-save stuff, the formulaic editions©, running when working on projects. It really helps you type less to avoid strain and makes the experience much more enjoyable.

Dependencies
FFW>> TIL about the complexity of dependencies and how import is akin to linking stuff like Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons in an index.html; oversimplification? Mm..hope not lol. At some point I was able to install:
- homebrew
- npm
- yarn
- react
- node-css

Tbh, there were just sooo many idr. Will have to check my zsh later for accuracy. It's really tough to get a full list of dependencies/packages w/r/t your project, get comfy w/ your directory (file) structure and configure the respective .rc or .json file.
Oh configs, truly where the journey begins 🧗🏻♀️
sdll Decides on a Blog
At this point I had scoured all of YT and 3 search engines on 2 browsers (never mind the IP) to find a 1/2 way decent tutorial. I won't sing my praises just yet; shameless self-promos, vague instructions, the best ones have low video quality, the worst ones post great taglines but are just knock-offs of the good ones >.<"
The difficult part about this: the misinformation about what the best superficial tools are but not exactly how to build anything relevant or structurally sound.
I'm determined, to share my experience w/ others 🚫🧢
Onward we must clack! So far, so good, minus an issue w/ using import to access .scss for my navbar. Stay tuned!

You gotta start somewhere :)
Edit: you should seriously consider using MDX for your blog. It's not as out-of-the box as a CMS and you definitely have to take care of some details manually, but it's very powerful and rewarding. It's what I use for mine.
Grateful for the encouragement and resource! I will be sure to try it out soon 😊
