It’s 2023 and I solemnly swear that I will be up to do good

Not goals. Just guidelines. — Dear Internet, It’s 2023 and I solemnly swear that I will be up to do good. 2020, 2021, and 2022 were a bit of a blur but 2023–2023 will be the year where I finally get my shit together. Rather than starting with lofty goals that I’ll probably break within…

If you’re feeling lazy or unmotivated, it’s to do with your dopamine

Dopamine — a nifty little neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you want something. It’s the craving. It’s the drive. It’s the thing that gets you moving towards a goal. When there isn’t enough of it in your system, the lack of it can make you feel lazy or unmotivated. …

ChatGPT is Better At Debugging Than Google

It’s replacing Google but will it replace us? — ChatGPT is all the rage nowadays. When something gets overhyped, I have a natural affinity to cringe whenever it gets mentioned. It’s like the Wednesday dance. It was cool. It was chill. Until everyone started doing it to a point where you couldn’t escape it. ChatGPT is like the Wednesday…

clamp() Is The Answer To Our Fluid Typography Woes

Exploring the thing that makes type beautiful — As designers and developers, it’s easy to get caught up in the shiny and flashy aspects of building websites and applications. We pour over color palettes, search for the perfect imagery, and spend hours fine-tuning animations. But let’s not forget about the one element that ties everything together: typography. Sure…

LastPass Had A Major Security Breach and No One Really Noticed

Hackers might have ALL your passwords — On August 25th, Lastpass issued a low-key, no-fuss product update about some “unusual activity” afoot. A majority of us didn’t notice anything in particular. It was just another day in the year. Then on Thursday, 22 December, it finally came out — LastPass had a security breach. Naturally, no one…

Do Certifications Matter in IT? and how much does it impact your paycheck?

The answer is not that simple — My mother always pushed for higher education. Being an Asian factory worker kid with half a year’s worth of official first-grade education, certificates mattered to her. To her, it was a ticket to financial safety. However, my personal experience was a little bit different. My first proper anger-inducing moment was…

Unpopular Opinion: CSS is harder than SQL

CSS is easy but it’s not THAT easy — There’s a misconception that CSS is easy. Yes, it’s easy, if you just want to make background:red. But when it comes to architecture, managing, and orchestrating all the visual elements, interactions, and implications of a component - now, that's when things get interesting. Personally, I’ve also had my fair share…

Dart — What I Learned From (Re)Learning It

The prerequisite to my Flutter journey — This isn’t my first foray into Dart. Based on the file dates on my laptop, I’ve played with it before — back in 2019, before the pandemic, before homeschooling, and before everything else in between derailed life in general. As things finally settle into themselves, I find myself back in…

Flutter or Kotlin? I asked the Internet and the Internet said this.

And what I ended up going with — New year, new me — that’s the general mantra for many. As I reflected on the year gone by, I felt stagnant and needed something new to do. My solution to my growing boredom is to learn and master something — something different, something that’s not JavaScript based because, well…
