This is nice! Reading!! I've done bash, kind of casually, as needed -- for years but always find curiosity for getting better at it.

I finally figured out how to do things in geometry; multiplying vectors, finding the closest distance between a point and a line, all that stuff. I know it's a little late! 🤣 It's not easy since I never had a strong basis on that, but it's rewarding and fun in the end. Luckily I found the resources I needed.

Fun fact, during the learning process, I found a website dated in 1988 about vectors... not sure if it's citing a source in 1988 or it was indeed established and made in 1988 and has been running till now... I kept thinking about the cost of running a web server and a domain for more than 30 years 🤔

Seems like that the domain was registered in 2011:

who.is/whois/paulbourke.net

Ah, but the look of the website is so dated, it made me think that it was indeed made in 1988 🤔😂

Yes, it's crazy. It could be that the domain expired at some point and then the owner renewed it later on :D

It'd be interesting to talk to the owner.

I crossed $300k in sales of my new course on Building Node.js CLIs. I've always loved creating and open-sourcing CLIs. E.g. my corona-cli project that went viral earlier this year.

I've been asked so many times to create a course on building automation tooling. I'm happy that I did. It took over a thousand hours, recorded 30 hours of content, trimmed it down to 10 hours in 100 videos with 22 CLI projects. So far so good.

A blog post I wrote was picked up by the team behind the technology I wrote about! My article about Storyblok in TypeScript can now be found in the Advanced Topics section of the Storyblok website. I didn't think I knew anything advanced about anything!

A couple of friends and I created our FIRST EVER tech videos and published them on YouTube. It was a lot of work, especially because of the animation animation and artwork. Though we initially wanted to write about it as a blog article on dev, we decided it would be a fun project to make it a video.

It's our first video so there was so much to learn, but it was a really fun project. I think our key learning was don't expect perfection, especially for the first video.

Basically a pair of videos talking about the pros and cons (based on our experience) about using authentication as a service. Platforms like Auth0.
