A great thread that's worth the read.
today is my 40th birthday. to toot my own horn a bit, I'm the happiest, healthiest, and most successful I've ever been, so I'm going to indulge myself and do one of those "40 things that made me who I am" threads

so buckle up (or mute me for the next little bit 😆)

I've been playing with building a local-first app with @expo.dev, Expo SQLite and Drizzle (@drizzle.team), but there's not a lot of content out there on it.

So I wrote an article about it along with a full example repo!

5 stages of software development:
1. I wonder if there's a library that does this ...
2. All these libraries are terrible, I bet I can build this myself.
3. This is going really well!
4. Why isn't this working?!!!
5. Ok, maybe that library isn't so bad
