Sometimes, you want to load a file into your web project via a CDN. But what do you do, if the docs don’t give you that CDN link? There is a very easy solution to this problem that uses a service called “JSDelivr”. Just go to the projects Github page and locate the file you want to use. Then, copy its url (just the...

This is a recent discovery. And I don’t know if it’s just because of a change in my consumption behaviour. But I think, YouTube is finally starting to heal. I get recommended way more videos that have this raw, authentic feeling to it. Just a person talking to a camera without fancy equipment or someone filming...

Coming from Svelte, I appreciated the availability of derived/reactive values. They work like this: let count = 0; $: doubled = count * 2; This essentially means that whenever count changes, doubled would change as well (obviously, hence the name). For a current project, I needed similar behaviour in a Laravel...

Ernest Hemingway had this habit of finishing working mid-sentence in the evening. Therefore, he immediately knew in the morning, what he should be working on next. Finishing that sentence. Since getting the ball rolling is usually the hardest part, doing something similar is crucial to trick your brain into doing...

Obsessing over quality is one of those characteristics, that are not inherently bad. I mean – who wouldn’t want to say from themselves that they create high-quality things? But it becomes a problem when it hinders you to actually doing the thing you should be doing in the first place. Since I tend to be that person,...

There’s #doomscrolling… but also there’s my passion for #nerdscrolling. […] — @davidbisset@phpc.social Do you know this feeling when you discover a new word, that immediately resonates with you? That’s how I felt when I read the Toot above. Finally, I have a word for these moments, where you just get lost in a...

I was listening to a Deep Dive episode with Nathan Berry (CEO of ConvertKit) as a guest. And there was this one quote by him, that really resonated with me1: It’s simple, not easy. He was saying this in the context of writing 1000 words every day2. But I thought to myself, that this mantra actually applies to...

It’s really weird when you discover that you have developed a behaviour, that you despise in others, unconsciously yourself. The “oh, I am susceptible to this tactic that is designed to influence me, not like this dude” kind of habit. One example: I always considered myself to be someone who wouldn’t adapt his...

I finally finished watching Beef on Netflix yesterday. And wow, what a great show! But the weird thing was, that I couldn’t really pinpoint, what exactly I found great about it. Sure, from a cinematography standpoint, it’s made brilliantly. The actors were great as well, just as the music selection (especially the...

When I’m out running and don’t feel great, I always try to focus on just the next stride. And then the next one. And the next. It pulls me back into the moment, makes me more present, and before I know it, a couple 100 meters have passed already. What works for running also works for life in general. Once you have a...

This is a question I would always ask myself in the past. And I know it sounds stupid, but hear me out. When I’m using a proper journal, I’m always debating on whether the thing I intend to write down is actually essential enough to put it there. And when I don’t have one, just writing something on a loose piece of...
