I finish one article writing about React Testing and start to explore the Static Site Generator - Gatsby.js's concepts and starting guide.
Noice!
I've learned about how to setup a Packagist mirror for composer fans in my country :).
Check this blog post.
👍
I finally learned how to use docker for local development. I always pushed this aside until I needed to use postresql which is a pain to setup locally on a linux environment. So I learned how to use
WSL + Docker + Docker compose
Local development has hit a whole new level for me
Nice!
A lot of terminal stuff it seems.
I learned that instead of using
>you can use>>to concat an output to a file.For grep I learned a bunch of options like
-v(ignore case),-A(lines after),-B(lines before),-o(get just the specific searched string) and this cool one-Eo '.{0,20}a href.{0,70}'to get the amount of chars before and after an occurrence of a string, 'a href' in that case.Learned of a type of program called terminal notifier, which notifies you when a long task like compiling finally finishes. Though I couldn't figure out how to get that to work w/ my server I SSH into.
Learned about Insomnia, alternative to Postman.
This git command,
git diff -U0 HEAD~1, which will just show you the difference and no lines before like git diff usually does. Helpful for when I pipe for a change likegit diff -U0 HEAD~1 | grep crmto see if I missed a search and replace.Lastly how to find the top 5 directories ,
du -hs * | sort -rh | head -5. This helped me when my VM that I use for my staging Cassandra instance got full and nothing could connect anymore. I learned where Cassandra keeps the data on the disk,/var/lib/cassandra/dataAwesome!
I learned about linters and started setting up ESLint for one of my repos.
Nice!
Learnt about Tree data structures. Diving into binary search trees. Will be publishing a devpost every Saturday.
That's awesome! 🔥
Using face-api.js ! I read the docs(I'd say they are great) and I made Try not to laugh challenge(under AI supervision)

Give this a look, and the most important, you feedback

I re-learned that just because a library promises zero-configuration, it isn't necessarily so, and sometimes it's easier to roll your own.
They said zero config...
actions/cache@v2
GitHub actions cache. My gatsby site now builds in about half the time, much of which is now installing node_modules and deploy.
REGEX
I got comfortable enough with a few regex commands to use it to filter data catalogs.

I learn how to add forms to an observable notebook (it's like a coding playground) and modify their behavior. I used them to make interactive examples in here: Using the Maybe type in js
This was last week but I'm still proud I figure out how to do it.
Nice!
As newbies in React js , i've learned React imposible states error handling , React REDUCERS HOOKS and use of Third party library
I learned some more C#/XAML styling techniques 😁
Upgrading to Angular 10 from 9 (which was done just a week ago). Thinking Angular should be named as Zoomgular due to speed of releases.
Zoom zoom zoom!
