I designed Backend in Express and MongoDB

The backend is designed for a E-commerce store, and working on frontend, which will be designed on ReactJs;

Previously I made a full stack e-commerce store in MERN stack but with Redux and a bad css, but this time I am focused on creating a strong backend with validation etc etc...

🙆‍♂️, And hopefull will finish the react part next aur next next weak☺️..

I learnt kind of-Object Oriented Programming in Rust. That was something. In fact I learnt a few more things about the Rust and its patterns while building an interpreter. Damn! That was tough.

September 30th, I am going to release ekscript.com. So working quite hard towards it!

I designed a workflow to deploy a react native application using github actions and write my first post in dev.to :D

And change App Center to github actions because the limitations to run e2e tests and manage the distribution of the binary have many problems for a product that plains publish 2 release by week.

Also I study a lot about metrics, logs and performance monitor to know the health of our application on production.

I hope finish my post about how to deploy a React Native application using github actions this weekend.

it might sound silly but it was a huge win for me: I finally managed to start my first docker container and connected it to DBeaver and my Laravel project! :D after sooooooo many tries and conflicts and outdated guides hahahaha
all this pain in a single line:
docker run --name mysql-container -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -e MYSQL_ROOT_HOST=% -d mysql/mysql-server:latest

I've been building gRPC microservices in golang for my raspberry pis.
Learning and understanding what it MEANS that everything is a file in Linux has been awesome and I'm starting to appreciate it.

Golang is really great, channels are cool, and everyone should include arm32 as a target for everything!

I had my first tango with $emit in Vue this week!

I'd read about it in the docs and seen it mentioned around the twittersphere - but after having use it in a real-world application, I have a much better understanding of what, how, and why it's used.

Recently, I decided to devote my attention to multiple things at the same time. So, I started off with learning Nodejs and little bit of express. In the midway, worked with a startup on their upcoming android app and lastly ended with a freelancing job as a ui developer. I'd say a pretty productive week.

Hashmaps are slower than one would think.

I tried to make the map/dictionary in my interpreter faster

So far it was either an unsorted array or linked list of key/value pairs. Basically the worst way to implement a dictionary.

Now I have changed it to using hashmaps. But with the hashmap it is 30 % slower in practice.
