Frontend developer, mostly #Angular and #React. I ❤️ TypeScript. Author and maintainer of the official Angular adapter for #TanStack Query. 🇳🇱🇪🇺

"We will build it ourselves so we won't have any dependencies" I've seen that costly mistake way too often. Building it yourself maybe doesn't add to the dependencies array but it's a dependency nonetheless! And no-one but your team to rely on for maintenance and expertise.

Can't believe what I'm reading. Accidentally DDoS yourself because you fetch in useEffect in 2025 is so avoidable 😂 blog.cloudflare.com/deep-dive-in...

The API calls were managed by a React useEffect hook, but we mistakenly included a problematic object in its dependency array.

Excited to run my React Query – Beyond the Basics workshop at @reactadvanced.gitnation.org, Nov 27 in London! 🎉 If you know the fundamentals & want to level up with prefetching, cache seeding, persistence & smooth UX, this one’s for you 🚀. Hope to see you there:

React Conference In London, Nov 28 & Dec 1, 2025

The main React Conference in the UK, running every year in London. Focused on Advanced React topics from the React Core team, framework authors and case studies from top engineers.

It’s so funny Angular developers complaining that Angular is changing into React. On React Summit this q&a is on the screen. Meanwhile React and Angular are very different 😂

🌶️ React eco system should adopt signals IMO. Been using signals on Angular for a few years now and it’s awesome. Simple performant state management. It would make working with React a lot simpler like it’s already making Angular simpler to use.

My chapter at OpenSauced has closed, and I'm looking for my next role! If your team needs someone who knows Angular/Nx/Next.js/Open Source, please reach out! Open to contract work also 🤝 In the meantime, I'll be working on @analogjs.org and NgRx 🥰

Since updating to 18.1 my iPhone has been very unstable, icons not loading, apps crashing, freezing and rebooting multiple times a day. Even bought a new iPhone and restored backup - same thing 😕

I wrote an article that explains what signals are in a visual and interactive way. In it, we build our own implementation of signals from the very basics all the way to a basic glitch-free implementation! Check it out:

New article! Signals are seemingly everywhere today, which begs the question: What are they? In their most basic form, signals are a method of having some state and a way of subscribing to that state.

The signal stores values and sends updates to listeners. Then a setter can update the store using some API and the listeners recieves notifications of signal state changes.
