It's always fun when you spend hours debugging an issue that comes down to 3 characters of code 😂😭 But I'm kind of proud for figuring it out AND understanding the solution! Webpack has always been scary & mysterious so this feels like a tangible level up for me!!

I'm starting to dust the cobwebs off of my portfolio site and I'll be documenting the process in this thread 🧵

Since I'm starting to apply places, I want my website to generate PDFs on the fly so I can make small edits to my resume depending on where I'm applying. I started today by installing pdfkit and ended up having a fun time debugging this webpack issue @_@

PSA! I was trying to install pdfkit in my webpack project and spent all afternoon trying to debug it

turns out I was using a very old webpack option that is no longer necessary or supported! https://t.co/G637u4dwnQ

I see the empty string included in resolve.extensions in a lot of (probably old, but apparently still relevant) webpack examples, I'll have to make sure I stop copying and pasting that in from now on!

None of my personal projects have any deployment requirements but I might start trying to do blue/green deployment just to get the practice in 💪

I'm spending some of my funemployment leveling up on AWS with Cloud Academy's AWS Cloud Practitioner course. This will be my TIL thread! :thread: https://t.co/ql4emwNXCm

Elastic Beanstalk is a PaaS (kinda like heroku/digital ocean ish??) that includes load balancing. Probably a good choice for hosting my personal project web apps! I did a lab yesterday on rolling vs blue/green deployment
