React Hooks is the new hotness in the React world. I’m writing steadily more and more of them and I thought it would be useful to have a cheatsheet to refer back to which encompasses the basic hooks as well as the intricacies of useEffect. Check out the official Hooks API Reference for more in-depth […]

I’ve been writing production TypeScript for a little over year and as a hobby for a couple of years longer than that.

I tried out Go as part of my “2 weeks with Go” challenge and wanted to share my experiences as I … go. package management Go’s package managemenet is completely bizarre. At first, I thought it was awesome. You don’t have a package.json, you don’t have any crazy dependency trees, you simply list a package, […]

A few weeks ago, I made a presentation and a youtube video introducing Angular (and JS developers in general) to ReactJS. It seems like React became a framework many want to try but somehow, it’s always out of reach. A part of the reason for that is that there’s not a “why” attached to the […]
