And don't start with "But you had to create the rules file first..."

Because I did, I even spent some time to configure the editor letting it know my coding preferences and the project I aimed to build.

Didn't seem to make any difference...

It was fault of Windsurf?

It is Gemini 2.0 just unable to code?

The thing is that I could have done more in these 30mins with just my knowledge and a smart autocomplete than try to explain via chat what I wanted to create.

In my latest article, I break down exactly how I built this form, step by step. Give it a read and let me know what you think!

We often reach for JavaScript without stopping to ask if we really need it. But HTML is more powerful than we give it credit for. It’s the foundation of accessibility, usability, and browser-native functionality.

On my path to completing the GFE 75 collection, I tackled an HTML-only challenge: building a fully functional contact form without a single line of JavaScript.

Sounds limiting? Think again.

Unlike other platforms that focus heavily on data structures and algorithms (which are great but not always my cup of tea), this one stays aligned with the realities of my role.

PS: My implementation doesn’t include the options object that libraries like Lodash offer, but it was enough to solve the challenge.

In my latest blog post, I share a straightforward approach to building a debounce function, complete with examples and a breakdown of how it works.

The first task was about writing a custom debounce function. Sure, we could quickly implement this using Lodash or a custom Hook if you’re working in React. But tackling a challenge like this means diving into knowledge we don’t always use at work.
