February 11th, 2022: What did you learn this week?

It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.


Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.

#todayilearned Follow

Summarize a concept that is new to you.

And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

• Played around with using Base instead of ReactBootstrap which I typically use and found Base a bit more lightweight and just as easy to use.
• I've been using React 18RC and found it to be quite stable.
• Finally figured out how to configure Nginx so that I could host two separate React apps off the same domain with the main app at mydomain.com and the other app at mydomain.com/secondapp

Brushed up HTML, CSS and JavaScript and built a small game use these. Check it out here. Would be great if you could give some feedbacks.
Learning by doing projects is so awesome!! ❤️

I have been using swagger for quite awhile, using fastapi, or connecting the swagger UI to other api's. Although, I have never actually used swagger to generate neither the server or the client code.

I always heard about it, but never took the time to try it or even really consider it.
I work with the CEO and apparently he is well aware about using this and has a solid plan in place for how to quickly spin up the API's in this way.

So that is what I learned, instead of writing APIs from scratch, generate the code, and if anything, build a solution that quickly integrates the models.

• Started this playlist about Virtual Memory that I will write notes for here
• Reading a white paper on Disruptor, a high performance bounded queue for concurrent exchanges and writing about it here.
• Started reading Company of One - Paul Jarvis.
• Started exploring gc.cpp by doing a code analysis via a jupyter notebook that can be found here.
• Understood how the Counter abstraction works in python.
• Working on diffing two ETW traces and analyzing scores based on the diffs in terms of garbage collection.
• Started re-reading Sharon Lebell's Art of Living, an amazing take on Epictetus' work.

Yeah!

I started looking in to BEM and am refactoring a personal project using the methodology. I plan on writing an article on my experience afterwards.

Hey Nick,
I started my own 100 Days of Data Science last week. And I realized that coming up with good ideas is tough. ;^)

Do you recommend placing something on Dev.to every day (even when it is small, like just reading...) or when I come up with a finished product, like an article?

P.S. I plan to write/add notes on the blog daily. ;))

[Nick Taylor]

I say start writing. Not a big deal if they're short posts. You can create a series too if you want. There's a cog icon near the save draft/publish post button where you can set the series.

This week I've started to learn NodeJS in order to build an API. It's confusing when implementing a MVC structure but, once it's been started, it seems easier to add new features while having all code separated into views and controllers.

Also I've learned the hard way the importance to build a minimum viable product and then add features by incremental improvements. I tried to do something ahead of my experience and I needed to stop and build again from scratch.

You can do anything, keep it up
