So What's the Deal With This Blog?

So what's the deal with developer blogs? Everyone's got one. Everyone's writing about the same thing. "Here's how I built a todo app". "Here's my journey into tech". "I'm passionate about clean code".

What You'll Actually Find Here

Look, I've been doing frontend development for many years now. And here's what I've learned. Nobody wants to build another todo app. You know what's worse than building a todo app? Building a todo app to learn production patterns.

That's like learning to cook by making plain rice. Every day. For a year. Sure, you'll master rice, but you'll also want to throw yourself into the pot.

So this blog is about building weird stuff. Real stuff. Stuff that makes you actually want to open your code editor.

The Main Attractions

Production Patterns - Not the boring kind where someone explains dependency injection for the 80th time. The practical kind. Multi-tenancy. Permission systems. Theming. The stuff you actually need when you're building something real.

Building in Public - I'm working on FrontendCheck (learn production patterns by building unique apps like a fashion store for cats) and Livery (multi-tenant theming for B2B SaaS). You'll get the behind-the-scenes like the wins, the disasters and the "why did I think this was a good idea" moments.

Random Developer Things - TypeScript gotchas. React patterns that don't make you want to scream. Why your bundle size is the way it is. You know, the usual.

What You Won't Find Here

Tutorials that assume you already know the thing they're teaching
"Just use [tool]" without explaining when or why
The word "passionate" used unironically

The Seinfeld Thing

Yeah, there are Seinfeld references everywhere. It's a blog about nothing. Well, not nothing, but you know what I mean. If you don't get the references, that's fine, the content still works. But if you do get them... these pretzels are making me thirsty.

Why Should You Read This?

Honestly? Maybe you shouldn't. I don't know your life. But if you're:

Building a SaaS and wondering how to handle multi-tenancy without losing your mind
Tired of tutorials that teach you to build things nobody would ever actually use
Curious how other devs approach real problems (and break things along the way)

...then stick around. Subscribe to the newsletter. Or don't. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

One More Thing

I update this blog when I have something worth saying, not on some arbitrary schedule. Quality over quantity. Like a good marble rye. You can't rush perfection.

Alright, that's it. That's the introduction.

Serenity now.
