Surprise surprise, ran into issues getting Socii 2.0 ready for deployment. Rather than force things to happen, I’m gonna make changes to the tech stack.

Let’s try for next weekend.

This has been a tough week for Socii 2.0 development.

I realized that I’d need to implement SSR (server-side rendering) in order to have rich links for shared posts. Turns out, retrofitting is hella difficult.

Furthermore, I realized that the longer MongoDB is running the slower queries get. I don’t think I’m doing something wrong but I’ve been thinking of switching database backends anyway so I’m investigating options.

Happy Juneteenth

Thanks! Better updates and experience coming soon!

Finally figured out asset uploading to S3 (DigitalOcean)! Socii 2.0 is gonna be awesome, that was the most difficult issue I faced for the past year.

Still working towards a July 1st launch date.

90% of problems can be solved with code.
The remaining 10% of problems can be solved with empathy.

It is important to work on things you’re proud of. This is quite easy for personal projects, not so for professional ones (unless you work for yourself, usually).

TFW you realize that you are helping design a good product experience for potential customers with hateful views.

Hella uncomfortable.

Trailing commas are friggin’ hideous and should be banned from all codebases.

Determination * (Opportunity / Randomness) = Luck

The ability to know things in people is called perception.

The understanding of things is consistent with the nature of things called wisdom.

The ability to deal with things in people is called instinct.

The instinct’s disposal is in line with the essence of things called talent.
