What happened last week

I’m a bit late with the newsletter this week because I’m at JS World Conference in Amsterdam. And there is a lot of stuff happening. Great speeches and a lot of interesting people. Right now, I’m listening to Bjorn Lu talking about packaging libraries.

Also, yesterday I had a chance to watch the documentary about React. It should be available on Friday on Youtube. I totally recommend watching it.

Interesting links

The Future (and the Past) of the Web is Server Side Rendering — Andy Jiang

This is really interesting to see how we’re doing a full circle, and again, SSR is getting “cool”. Definitely worth reading to understand when to use SSR and CSR.

Learn how to secure your git repository 🔒 — Dwayne McDaniel

You can re-watch the 3rd episode of the Code and Coffee Show. Together, with Dwayne, we talked about what are the most common problems related to git security.

Building a multi-framework dashboard with Astro — Emanuel Suriano

This a great guide showing how powerful Astro can be. Emanuel shows how to create a dashboard that uses React, Svelte, and Vue at the same time. While maybe it’s not the best idea, you can do it.

When using Statamic over WordPress is a good idea — Maciek Palmowski

I decided to compare WordPress and Statamic to show where using Statamic is better and when it’s better to continue using WordPress.

Docker for local development — Grzegorz Korba

Grzegorz explains how docker can help us develop locally and how to get started. I think the only downside of Docker is that we won’t be able to use the “it works on my machine” excuse.

Darkmode — Dan Hollick

Dan explains why creating a dark mode isn’t as simple as you might think. He touches on a few interesting points - like how the WCAG’s contrast scores.

The Hardest Part of Writing Tests is Getting Started — Jack Reichert

This is an excellent article about testing. It doesn’t dwell on technical stuff but more on how difficult it is to start doing this. Especially when will see how helpful testing is, we won’t ever go back to a non-testing approach.
