🚨 New section alert! I just added a “Side Quests” page to my website—documenting all the skills & adventures I’ve picked up outside software engineering. It’s also a way for me to show some more personality beyond my professional side

I used to read more because I read when I commute. Now that I’m practically home majority of the time, I feel like I have no time to read. Now I prefer to hail a taxi (even though more expensive) because I can read on the way. *public transport works too!

It surprises me that not a lot of people care to add a focus style when doing frontend. Sometimes they even use "outline: none" instead 💀 Checking focus style is one of the pipeline both in self-coding and code review.

one tiny detail that people might miss: I took my time to line those up so it feels like a print on a literal notebook 🤣 also the title & date on the top right corner is dynamic!

3 analytics providers seem to have different values. Does anybody have any idea why? Maybe it's due to different ad blocker and bot filtering?

I was using Canvas for the hero animation. It's JANKY in Firefox and consumed a lot of CPU 😱 I rewrote it using CSS transform & perspective. CSS is king for animation perf⚡ - nothing can compete.

Every end of the year, I take a few hours to reflect and create a retrospective of what I did during the year. It has been going on for 3 years now, and it's very apparent how much I have grown over the years! #softwareengineer #frontend
