3/3 Note to self: Pretty please, with sugar on top - read the fucking docs first.

1/3 Asked ChatGPT how to stop a slider from dragging past the first & last item. Got working code — but it re-rendered on every scroll, which felt sus. So I asked for something “functionally optimised”… and got the same code, guttered readable.

2/3 Half an hour of back-and-forth, gaslighting, and semantic debates later, I bit the bullet and opened the docs myself. Two minutes in: resistanceRatio — right there in plain sight. The very same thing AI told be didn't exist in the docs.....

You never really know how close you are to reaching each breakpoint until it happens. Self-taught devs out here that could pass as mid-level, but describe themselves as 'aspiring developer' because they haven’t gotten a role yet—basically underselling themselves imo. #100Devs

Circular import problem: In JS, the file being imported must fully execute before its exports are available to other modules. This can cause issues when two modules depend on each other. Solutions: Refactor the shared logic into a third file or { children } if using React.

Made some progress on the carousel. I plan to make the images change on hover later, but for now the black background will have to do.

If you're from a non-tech field and planning to get into tech after 25, please know that it'll be really hard. When you apply with zero experience, most companies will be extremely hesitant to hire you, and if someone does hire you, they'll offer very low salary (similar to what they'd pay a 20 yo fresher). If you can learn fast, fake your experience and apply to lots of startups as a freelancer, then it might work. but you'll need to absolutely forget about work life balance for at least two years. It’ll be way harder than your favourite course seller will tell you. Unless you’re ok working that hard and still being unsure of results, look for other easier options.

Haven’t touched this account since 2023. Checked some of the old accounts I used to follow, and 95% of them are not active. The level of capitulation is remarkable and serves as another reminder that the majority don’t make it. Regardless, we’re back.

Interesting article doing the rounds about Mozillas funding and why donations makes very little impact if any at all. Big tech and the ability to form bloat at the highest levels of the organisation seeming without fail is mystical. lunduke.locals.com/post/4387539/f….
