Set up the “mautrix-meta” bridge on my synapse server today.
Keeps me connected to Instagram DMs without unlocking the app (and falling into doom scrolls).
Also a pretty fun little bridge to tinker with 👾

I'm working with nestjs for a project and couldn't find a centralised "error registry" package, so I took a little detour and built one.
Check out www.npmjs.com/package/@web...
If you use NestJS, give it a try and let me know what features you’d like to see added!

Had to integrate AWS Step Functions into the codebase at work recently. It’s… interesting, to say the least. But seriously, what ever happened to good old cron jobs? 🕒

Made some progress on my project DB Nexus today!
* Optimized MongoDB connections for smoother performance.
* Added Mongoose schema handling for better dynamic validations.
* Cleaned up some redundant code and improved the overall workflow.
Still a lot to do!!
