It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.
While preparing for a ProductHunt launch, I discovered that my CMS VM had not supported OS.
So I've learned how to migrate my CMS to a new virtual machine with a newer operating system. I've made a checklist, so I hope to make it way faster next year or even create a script that does it automatically.
Also, I used the tool ahrefs to find the most popular content on "Launching a Startup," so now I'm packed with many launching strategies..
That's awesome! 🔥
Thanks :)
I dipped into Jest & React Testing Library, and managed to integrate them into my Next.js app. But I still have no idea about the best practices, so would someone be so kind to share some awesome posts on this topic? 💕
Well there's this amazing article Why Good Developers Write Bad Unit Tests, it's not focused on react + jest, but most of the philosophy can be used anywhere you're writing tests!
It also exists as a talk
Thanks! This post is of great help! But I don't think it's always right to "keep the reader in your test function", which the author considered a principle. I think it's necessary to extract common logic into another function, like
beforeAllandbeforeEachin Jest, for stuffs like database mocking.For myself, I learnt some vue.js this week thanks to @drewclem!
Started to learn about asyncpg (Python library for PostgreSQL), already a bit tried to implement in small test project (M3U8 server - server which gives M3U8 stream links, depending on case - with Streamlink library or directly).
Nice!
I learned more about pagination then I ever care to again. You have a list of arbitrary length you need chopped into pieces and displayed?? I got you.. you need page 65 at 20 lines per page?? done.. you want dots to break things up ..? we can make that happen..
I learned to make discourse plugins, and got my hands dirty with ruby, which I had never written anything with! Quite a nice language I must say, really different to anything I had used before though
That's great 👌
Awesome!
This week I started learning how to make forms in react. I also dove into recursion a little bit as well.

I picked up Golang, also I wrote my first blog post
;), and I am reading some articles on data structures and algorithms
Congrats on your first post!
Thank you very much :)
I am new to this series But I intend to Participate today onwards!
Today was all about setting up a development environment!
I have decided to make shift to linux (ubuntu to be more specific). I did it over virtual box and also got the hang of vim. The basics are done.
However it seems I will have to learn a bit about Lua and Lisp to simply customise the editor completely to my liking.
However, for now the time being I am using vim script.
Let's go!
Started learning fundamentals of Programming (JavaScript to start) since end June (I just posted more about this ), so this week I learnt:
Also, this Quokka.js VSCode extension is great: Runtime values are updated and displayed in your IDE next to your code, as you type.
