Why Kevin Powell is my favorite YouTuber

Learning CSS can be a lot of fun

No I do not have time to join your party. I need to review this.

Add Functors to CatDat by ScriptRaccoon · Pull Request #12 · ScriptRaccoon/CatDat

Add Functors to CatDat As suggested in #4, this PR adds functors, their properties, and implications of functor properties to CatDat. Several new tables and pages have been added. This PR also prep...

Issues and PRs are coming in for CatDat and I just LOVE everything about it. More motivated than ever!

Modern software developers in front of their coding agents be like

I am so excited that CatDat already got a few issues and pull requests. I have worked on a couple of them already. github.com/ScriptRaccoo... 🧑‍💻

Mehrsprachige Web-Anwendung - Svelte-Tutorial

Say I have a SvelteKit in which most pages can be prerendered and this requires data from the DB. Some pages require the DB live. Now what happens during a deployment? I need to update the DB (if migrations were added) and then update the web application and push the new code. However, since... 1/2

POV: you can show off that you fixed the deployment pipeline in one commit. May the --force be with you.

Here is the todo application I am usually working with inside of my repositories. 🥌 TODO.TXT

Any ideas how to prerender a list of dynamic routes in SvelteKit whose slugs are saved in the database? In config.kit.prerender I can list them, but currently it's hard coded. Not sure if it's good to query the database for the build step? I could have a secret page with links to all these routes...

I tried out a new web framework (I won't mention its name). Every time that happens, I immediately compare it to SvelteKit and come to the conclusion that it's much worse. DX, speed, structure... Nothing beats #svelte. Only downside is that my projects have the same structure and don't vary much.

I have recently switched to creating my video thumbnails with HTML and CSS. This is the most recent one. This approach has several advantages over using a graphics program (version control, unified design, repeated patterns, easy to update). Repo: github.com/ScriptRaccoo...

So I guess I am the only developer left who doesn't use AI to write code?

YouTubers reaching 1mio subs: big party, screaming, donation special, explosions, bragging, storytelling, guests, ... Kevin Powell reaching 1mio subs: cool. :-) I plan to write a blog post about why he is my favorite programming YouTuber (since 2019 actually).

Top 8 Countries from which people access my portfolio website: 1. United States - 23.51% 2. Singapore - 17.55% 3. China - 8.46% 4. Germany - 6.27% 5. France - 5.33% 6. United Kingdom - 4.7% 7. Canada - 3.76% 8. Italy - 2.51% I am really surprised about Singapore. Also, India ... where are you?

Is there actually any good SQL formatter extension for vs code? I have tried the first 5 that pop up in the search for extension, and they all have big issues. I am thinking about manually formatting the code for now.

Git is the best software in the world. But sometimes, it does this, and I hate it.

I call the YouTube data API every day to get the number of views for a video tutorial (which explains exactly that). Yesterday it went from 243 to 242. 🤷

Man I'm watching Tech YouTube videos from ~10 years ago and they feel like a window to such a radically different world. People used to care about shit.

It was time to migrate a SQLite database to a Postgres database. The setup took some time, and I needed to change the implementation of my wrapper query function. But most of the application code did not need to be touched, basically because the *interface* of my query function did not change. 🦝

✍️ New blog post: CRUD operations in SvelteKit - no client-side JavaScript needed! I walk through the mental model I use for SvelteKit apps and explain how to build a fully functional todo app using form actions and load functions. scriptraccoon.dev/blog/sveltek...

If you think you don't make any progress, just look at the code you wrote one year ago. You will likely immediately see lots of things that can be improved. This is what you learned in the meantime.
