Made some updates to my Custom Course Platform built on Next.js:
I've added several gamification features to boost retention:

→ Daily learning progress tracking
→ Levels to earn a certificate
Overall, the platform is now more engaging for students!

We do an exercise at offsites called Elephants, Tigers & Paper Tigers.
- Elephants are things that the group isn’t talking about but needs to
- Tigers are things threatening the team, risks
- Paper tigers are things that seem like risks, but aren’t

i think the @react.dev Compiler team could include more of this type of messaging. i'm being a bit inflammatory here (and Haskell may not the best analogy), but the principle of "pure things are safe to move around" is fundamentally simple and has been known for decades. teach it to new generation!

React 19.2 useEffectEvent ✨
Ever add a handler inside an effect, put it in the dependency array & suddenly… re-renders forever?
That’s usually because your handler changes identity every render so the effect keeps tearing down & setting up again
useEffectEvent fixes this! 💪

Stop Refetching the Same Data 🍿
Why make your users wait for the same work again and again? That’s where "use cache" comes in.
Mark a route, component, or function as cacheable → repeat work is skipped, your app feels faster ⚡
Watch your TTFB drop with use-cache!
