One of my side projects that I'll be working on in the new year is high-quality (but simple) guides on various things I've struggled with in my development journey. Things that are usually simple, but the internet has made wayyyyy to complex to find an answer.

Here's my list so far:

So, uh, this is what happens when you leave a GitLab sign up enabled and unattended.

Yeah, something tells me that isn't organic growth in Oct/Nov.

Few minutes of dinking around node later, and BAM! all randos wiped out.

As a long-time fan (since V3) of RWBY, the fiasco that happened with it's music post-RT closure has been a huge driving factor in creating a community-curated music library, aka @toriiplayer.com.

What happened to Jeff and Casey should not be allowed to happen again.

Literally just had this.

Was crusin' along writing TS like a big boy, and then *BAM* the dev server crashes. It can't resolve a namespace from a .d.ts file.

UGH.

OH but my IDE resolves everything juuuuuust fine.

So I'm like 30% (~14 hours) into rewriting an express app into Typescript, and thought:

"I wonder if koa would be any easier"

It took exactly 5 minutes to realize yes, koa is wayyyy easer to work with the types. SMH

I love the Wrench-wrench Wrench. Why hasn't anyone come up with it yet? AI is the best /s

Ugh, this bothers me to no end. I've seen this time and time again, and gives me a bitter taste of open-source.

I have this question too, and your answer is

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did something else.

It's just as bad as "It works on my machine"

/rant over

Guess I'll get called out then :/

Yo, all I did was `sudo yum update`, why must we slam the disk? What, did it decide to fsck everything?
