Code & Coffee

I was listening to Ruth’s(dot_ruth) Open Mic, and something about the way she talks really stayed with me. We actually relate a lot. She works with .NET , and she also loves Laravel and same here. She talked about how AI is slowly taking away our thinking ability, and I’ve always agreed with that. She also recommended using Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design on the backend, which honestly makes a lot of sense. quote she shared :

You don’t choose the tech stack the tech stack chooses you.

quotes the host shared:

I don’t want to be the first girl to do it I want to be one of the girls.

In the end, I just want to say I really loved it. Watching inspiring girls like this truly motivates me. Let’s go, girls let’s build things, support each other, and inspire others. Much love to all the girls 🤍

React comes with so many hooks, but I usually just use the classics Categories of hooks: 1. Basic state & effect hooks – useState, useEffect 2. Performance & reference hooks – useMemo, useCallback, useRef 3. Advanced & concurrent hooks – useTransition, useDeferredValue Honestly I stick to useState & useEffect 90% of the time 😂 slowly learning the others…

JavaScript is slowly making immutability easier today I learned about Array.prototype.with().

const nums = [1, 2, 3];
const updated = nums.with(1, 99);

console.log(updated); // [1, 99, 3]

The first computer “bug” was a real bug 🐛 In 1947, engineers found a moth stuck inside the Harvard Mark II computer, causing it to malfunction. They literally taped the moth into the logbook and wrote: “First actual case of bug being found.” do u guys know this ? 🙄

New feels hard because the brain mistakes unfamiliar for unsafe. Most of the struggle is just rewiring. But not knowing that has held so many of us back for far too long. New feels like fog at first. You don’t need the whole road, just the next visible step. It's not hard, it's just NEW

Some days are for pushing. Some days are just for surviving. Both are allowed.✌🏼

Why TDD? We use Test-Driven Development (TDD) to: - Write tests before writing code - Catch edge cases early (like int vs double from APIs) - Make sure everything works before moving forward TDD gives confidence, reduces bugs, and makes refactoring safe.

Not me starting another project instead of finishing the last one. 👀

Here are some more quotes from @Dagmawi_babi these are focused on vibe coding Enjoy 😉 #Quotes #Devfest2025 #Vibecoding @codative

I’m new to Python… and I just learned this. I recently discovered that Python has type annotations. I always thought Python was just dynamically typed but you can actually add type hints to your code:

def greet(name: str) -> str:
    return "Hello " + name

☕️ Code & Coffee Just realized how important the basics are A friend is crushing LeetCode SQL challenges (link) for tech interviews, while I was busy with frameworks and ORMs… almost forgot SQL even exists
