I type a lot. Then I read a bit, to continue typing some more. I must be type-safe! webdevnav.vercel.app Bengaluru, India Joined July 2013

A good outing with friends after 17 days of non-stop coding. Socializing is definitely important. Had a good time. Now rejuvenated for the next step in dev.

It's been a while since I tried to deploy an app with WebSockets on Next.js hosted on Vercel. Do issues with this still exist? Next.js for frontend only; Backend is separate. Any issues with hosting frontend on Vercel?

What's the best location for the backend of a SaaS aiming for global audience? Serverless, yes, but backend is Express.

It's time to go socialize for a while. But, all I can think of is the next module of my app, that I want to develop. Is socializing overrated?

Finally cracked it! Spent all yesterday wrestling workflows, handlers, maps, pub/sub & Kafka. Tested it, grinned hard. Now, onto connecting the dots on the frontend. My first pub/sub, Kafka run, intended for prod--wish me luck? 🙂

Troubleshooting, troubleshooting, troubleshooting. It’s 6AM already. Time for bed. Troubleshooting continues tomorrow.

I realized how little I knew of the power of TypeScript till I started vibe coding for type-safety. TypeScript is VAST! TypeScript is wonderful!

What's the best way to manage your Redis cache keys? As my API grows more and more, I am constantly running through all my API routes to check and re-check cache invalidation. Any tips on how to manage this is much appreciated. Thanks!

I’m not using IDE integrated AI. I’m typing code myself, no tab tab tab. If I need AI to help summarize something or understand an issue in my code, I go to one of the websites they’re hosted on. I’m going slow, but I’m understanding every step thoroughly. Am I doing it wrong??

Why doesn’t tanstack.com load on mobile? Is this intentional?

The more I talk to Grok, the more I read more relevant blog posts about what I'm trying to understand. Is Google search dead for humans? Looks like LLMs are primary targets for search engines now. SEO becomes king.

Developed a simple chat app to understand how HTTP servers, web sockets, redis and kafka work together in harmony. Programming is magic! I fell in love once again.

It's amazing how much better Grok is compared to other LLMs. At least that's been my experience. I might actually get the blue tick just for Grok!

90% of vibe "coders" on X, are faking it. I don't think I am wrong. They are vibing their tweets too.

I'm addicted to tRPC. End-to end type-safety is so convenient. I don't think I can go back.

Is there any way to access environment variables globally (outside of fetch API) on Cloudflare Workers? I’m running a Hono server that’s using libraries, outside of context object, which requires access to secret keys. @honojs @Cloudflare
