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 →

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.

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 →

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. →

I watched a couple of build sessions and the one where Scott and Mark Learn to Code in particular was what prompted (🥁) me to check out Github co-pilot. It's been a while since I worked on a side project for learning. Now that summer is coming up, it's a little bit easier to find… Continue reading Trying out Co-pilot to Build a Side Project for the Summer →
