👋 Hi, I'm Yos.

Today, let’s take a look at Naive Bayes from the ground up, and work through a working implementation in Javascript.

Whether you’re writing a public API or an internal microservice, getting authentication right can make or break your API. Let’s take a look at a JSON Web Token-based authentication system. We’ll begin with basic authentication & JWT concepts, followed by a detailed walkthrough of designing an authentication service with plenty of code examples.

If you work on something a little bit every day, you end up with something that is massive.

Work you didn’t sell is no better than the work you didn’t do.

A talk on the React.js library, covering the two key principles of react: reusable components and statelessness in your UI. Also covers some internals of the virtual DOM.

Be opinionated about what makes a tool great, but be pragmatic about how to achieve greatness.

There isn’t one. But here are a few options.

Fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Try to find a market and a problem that you are passionate about solving. A new semester appears! New classes, new side projects. I’m taking some really interesting modules this semester and embarking on a new project.

Read a number of interesting books this month. People have been recommending me such good books and courses.

So this is a habitual thing I'm starting this month. At the start of each month I'll publish a retrospective of things I read/wrote/built/thought/played over the past month. This one is for the past June. I'm hopeful that this monthly retrospective will help chart my growth and act as a garbage collector for my thoughts. It’s been a slow month for my main side project. Mostly spent on reading and experimentation.
