Should I start my own blog, or use an existing platform?
Thanks everybody for the replies.
I was thinking my posts could get more traction on these established blogging platforms, and could reach more people (and potential employers), than if I set them up on my own.
But what @michaeldrotarsaid makes sense. If I'm looking to showcase my skills through my writing, the audience reach might not matter. Might make more sense to just set my own thing up, so I can have my Resume, Blog and Demo Projects all in one place.

Should I switch jobs?
I mean I know it might not be a viable option, but maybe you guys should consider moving? 110k is a lot of money anywhere in the world except California.
That aside @yadaraf if you think you should switch jobs, then you should switch jobs. It really doesn't matter what anyone else here thinks, if you're unhappy with your current employment.
Just note that a referral doesn't guarantee a job, especially in today's market.

Advanced Typescript Resources
As @cje mentioned, Matt's channel is a really good resource: https://www.youtube.com/@mattpocockuk
But what exactly are you looking for when you say "advanced"? You can go into the weeds with TS, but most of the time, unless you're writing your own library, you probably don't need much of that on a day to day basis.

Should I switch jobs?
Do you want to switch jobs? Are you satisfied where you currently are? If you were to switch jobs, what would be the deciding factor? (money, tech stack, type of project work...)?

Am I being lowballed?
Def lowball. Just say you're too busy with school at the moment, and don't work with them. They don't value you or your time.
Asking to do it for free is absolutely insane.

Choosing a React stack
Maybe try building it with a few different frameworks, and see what fits for you? If it's a small blog site, you should be able to set it up with pretty much anything. And you'll gain some perspective on picking the right tool for the job.

Choosing a React stack
Ok, fair enough. I default to it, because clients usually end up wanting more than just a static site, even though they claim otherwise.

Choosing a React stack
Don't go down this rabbithole. There's no need to roll your own framework, especially if you're just starting out.
You can do it, but I would advise to stick with the big boys in the beginning, until you get a handle on things.

Choosing a React stack
I don't really see how Next is gigantic overkill? If your website has only static data, it will end up building a static website. Do you mean just by the features it provides, or...?

Choosing a React stack
If you don't know what to go with - I'd say go with Next. It's the easiest setup with the biggest community, so if you need help you should be able to find it pretty easily.
Astro might be a good choice if you're focusing on small static sites. But I'd argue that Next is the most general purpose one, so it makes sense to start with it.

How do I protect myself from assholes?
Oh, I thought you were talking about other people in the workplace or something.
Maybe you can throw up some kind of rate limiting protection using CloudFlare?

Bug!? Server side calls are not being cached
I thought the problem was server side caching, not client side?
React query might cache these request on the clients machine, but that's only one client. Your server will still make x amount of requests for x amount of clients requesting the page. Seems like the issue will still be there, or did I misunderstand?

Handle Next <Image /> using Cloudflare?
They should be cached by the Vercel CDN after the initial request, Is this not the case for you?
If you wanna bypass the Next image transformation, you should be able to define a
loader function to work with CloudFlare directly: https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/optimizing/images#loaders
Might make sense if you're already using CF as a CDN.3 replies

Bug!? Server side calls are not being cached
Are you checking in the dev build (
npm run dev) , or production (npm run build) build?
In the dev build, the caching is not applied by default. This is intentional.54 replies

How to upgrade pnpm version of project
You bump the version, and see if anything breaks 🤷♂️
I'm guessing it's there for a reason, so I wouldn't mess with it. But feel free to try.
