Today I Learned
This is a special part of the digital woods where I try to log what I've learned every day. The universe is big and complex thing - learning a little bit about it every day makes life a bit more interesting.
Date | What I learned |
|---|---|
| May 31 2021 | Logging levels: trace, debug, info, warn, error, and fatal levels should be used properly for good logging practices. |
| May 27 2021 | Writing bad code is defensible - you can't get fired if you're the only one who can read your code |
| May 24 2021 | Optional chaining (?.) and nullish operators (??) in Typescript |
| May 23 2021 | Using form data to send blobs and files to backend |
| May 22 2021 | There's a javascript port that lets you run ffmpeg in the browser (slowly) |
| May 21 2021 | The 83(b) election is very important for making sure you don't get destroyed by taxes as a founder. Don't forget it! |
| May 19 2021 | Scaling image data that's been captured in an HTML canvas |
| May 17 2021 | Binance smart chain is great for trading crypto quickly - until the market crashes and no orders can go through |
| May 15 2021 | Encoding and sample rates in FFMPEG conversion |
| May 13 2021 | The strat to motivate slackers in non-profits is to not give them any tasks: they coast, get peer pressured, and get mad enough to crush any task just to prove that they're capable |
