I'm attending DevFest for the first time, and I'm excited to be surrounded by so many developers! I hope to meet new people, build my network, and learn something new. If you're here and see me, please say hi! 😊

☕️ Dev Mood Do you ever look at your code and feel like it’s standing on one leg… and if someone touches it, the whole thing will collapse? 😂 is it only me ? But somehow it still runs lol

2025 a year of code. I’ll make it even better next year, hopefully. Want to see your own year in code? Try it here: https://git-wrapped.com/

☕️ Dev Mindset In tech, you’ll always see tools and terms you’ve never heard of. Don’t let it trigger imposter syndrome. Just write it down → check it later → grow step by step. Every dev feels this. You’re not behind you’re learning. ☕️💻🔥

☕️ Dev Speed Hack Use the ‘Rubber Duck Debugging’ method. Yes, it sounds silly. But it works. Explain your code problem out loud even to an empty chair. Your brain suddenly finds the bug because it's forced to make sense. 90% of my “big bugs” die this way. My coworkers just look at me like: ‘why is she arguing with the air?’ 😂

Real-World Debugging Insight ☕️ Debug Diaries — Today’s Fight Spent 40 mins debugging an API issue. Turns out the backend was returning 200 OK… with an error inside the JSON 😭 Lesson: Always check:

res.status
res.data.error
res.headers

A “successful” request doesn’t always mean the server is happy.

Advanced JS/TS Concept ☕️ Code & Coffee — Tip of the Day Optional chaining is cool… but Nullish Coalescing (??) is even cooler.

 const username = inputName ?? "Guest";

Difference: || treats 0, "" and false as “empty.” ?? only considers null and undefined as empty.

Welcome to Code & Coffee ☕️💻 Just sharing my dev journey small tips, what I learn daily, mistakes, fixes, and cool resources. Let’s grow together, one sip at a time.
