I’ve just come back from a 5-month-long holiday 🌴☀️🏖️, and I still have 2 months to spare before returning to commercial work.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the most of this time. Since I’m a bit stuck in kicking off this new ‘project,’ I thought I’d write down my thoughts and struggles.
If you’re curious about how I’m planning to use these two months without paid work to improve my programming skills (and why I can’t seem to get my productivity back), read on 🙂
I know a few fellow devs who still use Visual Studio or Rider as their IDE for Typescript. If you’re one of them, this is going to be a little rant on you all 😄
In this short article, I will give you my 5 reasons why the backend code editor might not be the best IDE for frontend development 😉
NOTE: calling this post a “rant” is obviously humorous 😉 This article is my own opinion, not a hate on anyone using different IDEs than I do.
If I were to point out a single concept that is critical to understand in React development, it would be state management.
So what is React state management? How is it different from managing data in C# or Java? Let’s find out! 🙂
As a frontend developer, one of the things you should know is how TypeScript compiler works. Sooner or later you will work with this language (which I sincerely wish you!), so it’s good to know your stuff 😉

We will not explore the inner workings of the TypeScript compiler Instead, we’ll see some practical implications of its workings for TypeScript developer. Let’s dive in 🙂
If you asked me 5 years ago what a JavaScript bundler is, I’d probably tell you it’s something people fight with for hours, just to get a simple web app set up 🤪 While this might have been closer to the truth in 2018, a lot has changed in JavaScript ecosystem until today.
If you’re starting your web development journey, or maybe have already dived into it, but are not really sure what JS bundlers are and what’s their role, you’re reading a proper piece of explanation 🙂
If you use external libraries in your application, wrapping them may be very helpful. How to wrap external libraries and why it’s worth doing that? Today we’re going to dive into that, based on a TypeScript web app example 😉
Meatballs menu (⋯), also called three horizontal dots menu, is a great way of providing contextual options for grid rows. In this article, I will show you how to add the meatballs menu to a table built with @tanstack/react-table.
After reading this article, you will know how to add such a menu to your React app. The end result will look as in the highlighted picture of this article 😉
I love VS Code 😍 There’s no better web code editor out there for me. Today, I’m going to share with you the 10 VS Code extensions that make my life easier. I can’t imagine coding without them. Let’s dive into it!
Continuing with weird errors you might encounter in JavaScript world, I have another one: Visual Studio Code IntelliSense loading infinitely 😀 Solution included, of course!
The symptoms of this issue are putting your mouse on something where you’d expect the IntelliSense guidelines, but instead you only see the “Loading…” text.
