I already knew @prisma and @nextjs were amazing pieces of software, but the combination is *next* level! (pun intended)

Just finished 'Ansible for DevOps' by @geerlingguy. Truly insightful, and it contains heaps of fundamental knowledge about server architecture and related best practices.

For that reason...

Excuses and distractions often keep us from our dreams and goals in life.

"But only if I had more/less...[fill in the blank]."

Don't be afraid of taking action and figuring things out a long the way.

@traversymedia Connecting a Node.js backend with a React frontend through GraphQL, mainly focussing on authentication and session preservation between both ends.

Are you an APEX or PL/SQL developer who uses @code as your code editor?

@Oracle now offers free Oracle Developer Tools for VS Code! Edit and execute SQL & PL/SQL, use code snippets, save results to CSV & JSON, & more!

It has been a few weeks since I migrated from Medium to @ThePracticalDev for my daily dose of articles on software/web development, and I’m happy I did. The content feels more sincere somehow + I LOVE that Medium’s paywall business model is absent at https://t.co/1KhcqLFS70 👏🏻

I made a small web app that creates UI designs programmatically. It randomizes design sizing, colors, typography, and some of other properties. Try it out here: https://t.co/7lyPB2kvpy

@traversymedia @mitch_tabian Stick to that morale. The amount of gratitude that those thousands have hugely outnumbers that which millions will have for watching a video to prevent the human brain from being bored.

@dan_abramov There's actually a dutch phenomenon called 'Mama Appelsap', which is misheard in Michael Jackson's 'Wanna Be Startin' Something'. 'Mama Appelsap' means 'mother appeljuice' in Dutch. Entire TV shows in the Netherlands have had such things as a main subject for an episode.

We recognize that we cannot achieve our mission alone, so we decided to open source Tesla patents, making them accessible to anyone who wants to design and build electric vehicles.

@WorthlyNet I guess the development speed is slower with #typescript, but I think the speed at runtime (after compiling) is nearly the same. Similar to what @nickkeers said, the slowdown in development is worth the type safety gained from using TypeScript.

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

@dailydevlinks Amazing news!

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

@dailydevlinks Why hasn't there been any new content for almost 2 weeks? Really enjoyed reading the articles.

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

Really impressed by @prisma's documentation on the possibilities and the ups and downs belonging to them for @GraphQL. Check out their documentation at https://t.co/vOD1xCdL5s

@fuzziebrain Hi Adrian, what is the status of the orclapex-js package with TypeScript declarations? As a learning opportunity, I'd love to assist with completing it. I ran into missing declarations while working on a JavaScript plug-in for APEX, hence my motivation to help.

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

Finally getting the hang of #git with @gitlab at work. I should have spent time learning working with it WAY earlier. No more memorizing code before changing it, no more breaking functionality upon implementing new features.

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

I just spent 1.5 hours solving an unsolvable bug, which turned out to be a missing pair of brackets. Love my life! #programming #javascript #react #redux #webdevelopment

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

It’s an app to learn translations between languages or term-definition combinations, aimed at students. The stack is a MERN-stack, with Redux and react-router.

[Thomas Brok @tphbrok]

Shamelessly proud that I’ve gone from complete #webdev noobie, to developing a #React app using react-router, #Redux, #Express and #Node, all done by glancing at docs occasionally (so no code examples), in < 6 months! Huge thanks to @freeCodeCamp and @ste_grider for teaching me!
