If you know @devmansam.net from #100Devs, our friend @sirashtondev.bsky.social built a site to send him well-wishes & keep his spirits up as he battles pancreatic cancer. Its Ashton's first full-stack project, too. Check it out!

Took the kiddos to the library in Valencia. Read the first 3 chapters of this book by the author of Cracking the Coding Interview. It's from 2014, but so much is still relevant & mirrors what @leonnoel.bsky.social tells us at the #100Devs huddles.

Took a break from coding & wrote another post about something I did when deploying a web app yesterday. Sometimes, we only want people with a link to visit a URL. Here's how to stop Google from showing a site or app in its search results. #webdev #html #react #noindex #nofollow

Hiding an App or Website

In my last post I put the client tool that I’ve been building on its own subdomain & deployed it. Its not a marketing page, so I don’t want it to show up in search results when someone Googles …

Wrote again. I deployed a beta for the frontend of the tool I started building over the weekend that used TanStack Query. Its on a subdomain off of my agency's domain. This is how to set up a subdomain of your own on Netlify. #webdev #deploy #subdomain #netlify

Haven't posted anything non-coding related in over a year. Took the girls & @sirashtondev.bsky.social to Laguna Beach yesterday to Vladimir Kush's gallery because he was there. Met him & got to talk about a bunch of things, including metaphorical realism, his mentor & Flemish painters.

Just got in. Listened to Ep 27 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while doing my 5k. It's from May 15th of last year. This one focused on AI & went over concepts & ways to get comfortable using it, something I wrestle with. #webdev

vishalicious213.bsky.social @vishalicious213.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

!checkin for Class 46 at #100Devs. Explored MVC (Model View Controller) structure, which is like separation of concerns for the backend. It's one of the more prominent ways of organizing backend logic. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org js.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

What Kyle says in this video mirrors so much of what Leon says during the #100Devs huddles. It's interesting to see other people in tech acknowledge it, but Leon has been sharing these tactics & insights for *years*.

I need to offload a few thousand pics I've grabbed over the past few years from my phone. They've been sitting in folders. Drafted a quick Express app to display them & started moving some over. There's a frontend repo on Netlify (HTML, JS) & a backend repo on Render (Express). #100Devs

!checkin for Class 37 at #100Devs. This one was a review of Node, without Express. Its basically one big request handler. We have to build a full-stack app using JS on the front & Node on the back. I'll take care of that in the AM. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org

!checkin for Class 36 at #100Devs. Its been 6 months since my last class! Reviewed promises & async/await & learned about queues, stacks & the event loop & how APIs in Node != APIs in the browser. They're similar but different implementations (web API vs C/C++ APIs). #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org

I've had a bunch of conversations with other #100Devs folk about motivation & consistency. They're ever-present on people's minds. Last night, these 3 vids came up in my feed & I watched them. I think some of you might benefit from what they share.
