New portfolio site is up after months of on and off development. To commemorate the occasion I wrote a blog post about how/why I made it and what I learned from it:

Give it a read and check out the new site! Looking for feedback also!

I haven’t used Bun yet, but this article makes me want to. Not just for its speed, but for how clearly it explains the “why” behind that speed. If you’d like to better understand how package managers work, I highly recommend it.

This one took me a little longer than the other ones I've taken on Boot.dev, mostly cause I got distracted by the Learn TypeScript course, and also cause the syntax is a bit different from JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and C in a lot of ways. I'll keep pressing on until I get the hang of it.

Had a great experience doing the new Learn TypeScript course at boot.dev. Highly recommended if you're just starting out or need a refresher on the fundamentals of TS!

Starting my 2025 with learning Python. Stumbled upon boot.dev a few days ago and I'm now 2 days into the Learn to Code in Python course. The gamification of learning, clear explanations, and the way problem scenarios are presented, keeps me motivated and excited to learn more!

Two updates to the Node/TS announcement:

- Node 22 WILL be getting TypeScript support by default.
- Type-only namespaces (which I actually have started using and quite like) will be supported by default.

I made a thing pt.2

Today I'm announcing I've got my own blog setup! Its intentionally minimalist, and still has a few minor things I want to add to it, but the structure is complete enough for me to start making posts.

Take care, and Happy Holidays!

Anyone else learning Typescript try this before? I could definitely use more practice to wrap my head around how (and why) to use Typescript.
