March 31st, 2022: What did you learn this week?

I learnt to deal with CJS vs ESM, and migrating from CJS to ESM. And also about vite plugins, roll-up build configuration and something more.

By default, bash hashes the location of executables you call the first time you run them. This means that if you place a different version with the same name at some location in your $PATH even with higher precedence, you'll still get the first one by default. You can toggle this off with set +h.

In Javascript, document.designMode = “on” will allow you to edit the text on a web page like you would in a Word doc.

Huge timesaver if you want to mock up content changes quickly, drop that in the console and edit away.

Saaaass ! 😁

For my next project on my training, I need to create a simple website on mobile first with SASS.

I've been progressively learning more about the Hotwired stack. I've known the gist for a while, but am progressively taking the time to truly understand it. Since it's becoming more popular and/or default in Rails, I think it's worth keeping up with, even if I'm not doing any active development with it.

Launched a python package (npm install taskquant) that weighs less than 8kb.

It adds a layer of gamification and scoreboards on top of TaskWarrior, and what I’ve learned was how heavy the dependencies of numpy / pandas are just to be able to do something like group by, aggregation, pivot table, indexing etc. So took a couple of hours out to build out the package with no dependencies — everything in vanilla python.

Yes, pandas alone (numpy being a dependency) sits at 250mb. So stripping away all of that and doing it in vanilla takes it all the way down to 8kb.

The end result is a python library that is extremely lightweight (<10kb), installs in under one second. I created a video to walk through the whole process as a tutorial:

Code is on my GitHub as well! GitHub.com/onlyphantom/taskquant

Started digging into the Golang by finishing the Tour of Go, since I really want to try this language out. So far it's been alright, but I'm yet to implement something in it. Also, I was learning about how to write good articles

Finally learnt CSS grid layout 😊😊😊
A lot simpler and more useful than I anticipated.

That's impressive.

I learned some F# for fun and profit. I don't know what to do with it yet. I think F# is a pretty fun language to code.

I learned some new functions of React Navigation to use in my office project.

I learned how to use node-fetch for this blogpost on how to upgrade your freeCodeCamp project that I wrote about!

I finally looked into conferences and summit to attend both virtually and in-person. There is so much to learn out there! I'm in love

I learned how to set up a contact form using Gatsby and Netlify. Check it out for yourself. Send me a message telling me what you think of my portfolio....link here: jasonfritsche.dev/

I accidentally learned React, and it's way easier than I thought
