I have learnt alot since starting my own microsaas so here is the first 30days.

When working with Data objects in ServerSideProps or StaticProps Next.js doesn't like it because they don't serailize it for performance. So you are on your own to handle it.

git-ultimate-cloner is an absolute game changer, it allows you to clone, install open an idea and get ready to develop. This will speed your productivity up and allow you to move quickly.

We were traveling to TN to check out the area, and I didn’t want to take a laptop. Mostly to stop me from writing YouTube videos or working on Roll Your Tweet and enjoy my vacation away.

This is a bit of a different blog post but I had to blog about this as I was extremely impressed with a Smart “Oven”.

I’ve heard and seen a lot of “What language should I pick first?” Questions in my time as a developer. It’s an interesting question that I seem to have the opposite response to most.

Supercharge your Astro blog with open source comments

I have to focus on important tasks throughout the day and I find I can get distracted easily, as a YouTube and Dev Advocate there are plenty of excuses to open Twitter, TikTok or YouTube. I use Session and AppleScript to automate this.

My experience with Netlify was short lived, in fact, under 36 hours before I returned to Vercel. This post describes how, and what happened to make me returned so quickly.

When using static sites like Next, Hugo or Astro sometimes you want to use a seperate branch and then deploy it at a particular time. I have built a few automated workflows so here is how

Last month I created a new podcast / livestream called Developers Hangout which is a weekly livestreamed podcast where I hangout with guests and chat for 90 minutes. I thought now would be the time to how this ended up happening and why

I've been very much avoiding using Typescript for quite a while, not because I don't believe in statically typed software, I spent a decade in production Java and was a certified PERL developer. I just never found a reason to use it, being a content creator and Jamstack developer for the past 3 years I have just been using JavaScript without much issue.
