Y'all saw how awesome The Commit Your Code Conference 2026 was but you weren't there with us! So, Who am I going to see at CYC27?

I'm sure plenty of people will poke fun at @dthompsondev.bsky.social for that little laptop incident, but I'll just say that you handled that with a lot more grace than I would've! Great start to #CYC26, man. Oh, and the talk was alright I guess. 😁

Ya know, when I watched Dune 2, I assumed the ending was sequel bait. I recently finished the book. That's just how it ends: abruptly. I'm not sure I'd call it good or bad, necessarily. I just wasn't expecting it. I still had a good 150 pages left; turns out those were appendices.

Today I learned a valuable lesson regarding localStorage: treat it as untrusted input, or it may cause you problems later. Something as simple as a try catch block can save you a headache. #100Devs

Honestly that kind of sounds similar to me looking back at an old project and going 'Wait, I coded this? What even is this? What was past-me doing?' That kind of confusion usually requires weeks or months. >.>

Help me with a simple problem, code buddies. I'm trying to prevent a 'Place Order' button from executing unless the user has entered their name and phone number. What are some ways I can do it? Do you have any preference? It's a full stack react.js app, for clarity. #100Devs

TIL that Javascript environments have acess to the Crypto API, which allows you to generate a "v4 UUID using a cryptographically secure random number generator." Can be quite useful for making truly unique React keys, without which your UI might break unexpectedly.

Today I had that weird situation of looking at some of my past work and saying 'Wait... why did I do it that way? There's a better way to do that' *proceeds to refactor* Oh, past-me, truly you are a mystery.

Looking back on an old project, simultaneously impressed and confused by past-me's decisions. I'm debating whether or not to start the project over with my improved knowledge of #react. Who else has experienced this? #100devs

There's a special kind of both liberation and anxiety that comes from closing long-open tabs in your browser.

Trying to improve the UX of my app. Users will need to delete things, but with no 'Are you sure?' they might end up deleting the wrong thing, which is no bueno.

Did you know that a fat arrow function's return is implicit UNLESS you use a code block, where it becomes explicit? I didn't. Here I thought I was having react-specific trouble, but nope; just javascript. Nothing like learning something new to show you holes in your old knowledge. #100Devs

Nice going, man! I've been working on my flexibility. Taking the Atomic Habits advice of tying it to a trigger activity that I do anyway, I've been stretching my hamstrings daily for a few weeks. Could barely reach my shins before, now I'm touching fists (and occasionally palms) to the floor.
