Tokyo - Networking with developers and mostly rambling about projects I’m developing. Reach out to me if you’re particularly interested in NodeJS, ORMs, Translations and Frontend Development.

Hey folks 👋
Curious how many of you are actively using visual regression testing? Not just limited to web frontend development btw.

At my work we do a lot! Catches issues before they become issues.
But in my personal project, not sure much.

5 signs your website is secretly killing your business:

1. You hesitate to share your URL
2. Your bounce rate exceeds 70%
3. Conversion rates under 1%
4. Mobile users are abandoning ship
5. Your offering has evolved but your site hasn't

Recognize any? Your website might be due a redesign.

I’ve known it for a while but necessity never gave me the push. Writing and presenting ideas clearly is something I need to practice.
I stumbled across a short article on ycombinator which gave me a little nudge of motivation in the right direction. #marketing

Step 3 is quite a good one to keep in mind.
Breaking Dependencies refers to classes/functions that can only be used if provided a parameter/environment.
An example might be a DocumentEntry class, which might depend on a UserEntry in order to be created.

I don’t often like spouting the #react hype but the effort put into this video makes it re-shareable for sure

Ignoring alt text?
Don't! It's your images' voice, boosting #SEO and making your site accessible to visually impaired users.

Tokyo to London journey begins.
Will see how much coding I can get done while on route….and I’ll also see how reliant I’ve become on coding aids like Copilot 😅

How many folks are running small Saas projects on their home lab?
Have you had many downsides?

Growth Hacking is an interesting book so far. Focuses on growing a product’s by leveraging what software companies already have - innovative and technical problem solving skills.
Would be interested to hear how others attract customers, what works for you?

Just arrived. It’s a three day weekend here in Japan so I will read this and chill 🧘
Anyone able to recommend any books? Can be about any topic.

What’s #nodejs projects are you currently working on?
What’s the latest thing you learnt? 🧠

Mine is MikroORM’s QueryBuilder. Really nice to dynamically build out a DB query and then return either a single entry, full list, or paginated list.

First real post on BlueSky, looking to connect with Developers.
What are folks working on and what have you learnt recently? 👾
