I'm about 78% potato.

Software developer @Loox.
Developing an app for Shopify can be a pain sometimes.
The new version of their client SDK is:
- Must be imported from their CDN (no control of versioning)
- Eagerly initialized (No ability to develop locally outside the Shopify admin)

Yes, they improved the APIs of the SDK but what about the rest?

I had to deal with a cache that is both sync and async, it needs to work outside react components and also be reactive (the react meaning of it).

So made up this little pattern :)

Is it just me or the Whatsapp app for Mac is REALLY buggy and laggy?

There are so many great libraries and frameworks these days.
It's almost impossible to go wrong.

I never finished my computer science degree.

I got a job half way through and gradually stopped.

Not sure if I regret it or not but I ma definitely glad I learned:

- C
- Data structures
- Algorithms
- How CPUs work

And also fought throw the math classes.

It's crazy how many people I interview for senior web dev positions don't know the difference between deep and shallow copy

We are getting to a point where the line between AI help me do my job to AI does my job for me gets blurry.

It's still early but I thing it worth paying cautious attention to

Most times the question is not how can I solve the problem, rather how should I solve it.

You want to make a side project.

The main interface is going to be mobile.

You like the web stack and don't want to pay to Google and Apple.

What you do?

If, somehow, bluesky would be interesting enough to keep pulling me in, but not addicting to the level of doom scrolling -
That would be a huge W.

Found some interesting nested routing pattern.
Not pretty but very powerful and flexible.
I should write about it tomorrow.
