Apple just announced their VR headset lately and it sounds like something that's going to end up being really expensive. I've been trying to think about usecase where I would see myself using the device regularly. I am in a household of 5 for example. Is the idea that all of us have a device… Continue reading Is VR really the next frontier?

Summer project summary
6 weeks of summer vacation where 2 of those weeks were spent away from the computer. It's definitely the longest break I have had for a while. I wanted to spend some of the break time learning a few new things and I decided to work on a small wishlist app. While I had planned… Continue reading Summer project summary
Fixing bugs by adding more tests
I noticed a weird bug in my app that I stumbled upon accidentally. I was able to create a new wishlist but was unable to access it using the public link. The wishlist url was https://wishlist.itsybit.se/wishlist/1c1ac2ba-e86e-43a6-ace4-820e9ed37cf5 and the public url was https://wishlist.itsybit.se/wishlist/public/Nxl5CiAEcjkaBXsFbDM/KyweflNREg== It took a while but eventually I saw that the route was truncating… Continue reading Fixing bugs by adding more tests
Improving the public wishlist
Now that I have some basic persistence going, I can spend some time improving things that are not so ideal. One thing I wanted to change was the URL for the public wishlist. When a wishlist is shared, the URL was only slightly different in that it had public between wishlist and ID. So, someone… Continue reading Improving the public wishlist
Implementing persistence
So far we've just been using an in memory temporary repository for persisting the wishlist, which means every time I make a new deployment, the repository resets. I wanted to have some form of persistence now that the basic functionality is in place. I don't want to be paying for SQL just yet so I'm… Continue reading Implementing persistence
Automating references, yay or nay?
My contract with my current customer is ending in December, so I've now started slowly searching for new contracts or at least building new networks for getting new contracts next year. I noticed that more and more staffing companies are using an automated platform for getting references and I'm not sure how I feel about… Continue reading Automating references, yay or nay?
Procrastinating with Tests
Ok, I actually think testing is a very important part of development. I still haven't come back from vacation feelings (and wake up times), so I thought I would learn about setting up automated testing for my API. I have been putting off proper persistence implementation because I don't want to start paying for SQL… Continue reading Procrastinating with Tests
Slow start with creatives
We've just come back from vacation and it's a bit difficult to get started back up so I thought I would try to start with creatives. With edge, you get access to bing chat that has a creative mode and I thought I would try it. Here was my prompt, complete with typos: I wanted… Continue reading Slow start with creatives
Co-pilot helping with the boring frontend stuff.
If there is one thing that I hate like less, it is frontend development. Maybe not as much as I hate dislike databases though. So I thought this was the best first thing to outsource to copilot. Whether or not one can use chatgpt or copilot (from here on shall just be named AI for… Continue reading Co-pilot helping with the boring frontend stuff.
