tailwind aspect
I've been back to putting some images on my blog lately and thinking about making them a bit thinner through the use of aspect ratio for simplicity. I'm leaning pretty heavy on tailwindcss these days due to some weird quirks of markdown-it-attrs I cannot have slashes in classes from markdown so I made a class to achieve this. Example screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png {.cinematic}

markdown it attrs with slashes dont work
Attrs does not like '/' characters in its classes, so to use some tailwind classes with custom values we must make new classes in our tailwind input css. Given the following markdown with attrs added to the image and to the paragraph block. We get the following output with only the middle one working correctly. screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png {.aspect-[2.39/1]} screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png {.cinematic} {.cinematic} screenshot-2025-01-31T14-50-00-094Z.png !!!

Obsidian-new-file
Wikilinks are a core concept within obsidian to link to documents by [[slug]] wrapped in double square brackets. These are commonly used within wiki site generators. Obsidian gives you a keybinding to go to that file, but if it does not exist it will create the file for you in the root of the project. It's a nice way to quickly make new documents.

Here are the classes that I used to transition my colors very slowly. And the entire square element.

why-is-postgres-default
Serious question. No one ever got fired for choosing PostgreSQL But, why. It's the most loved db, right? Right? Maybe it's time to rethink it. Don't get me wrong, if I need a relational db as a service, PostgreSQL is going to be my first choice, but why do I need to run a separate application for it? Tutorials use sqlite Why is that? Because there is nothing else to stand up. Nothing else to maintain. And you probably already have it installed on just about anything that has a battery. SQLite ru

A Case For Tailwindcss
I was watching @theprimeagen recently and I think he sold me on using tailwindcss. The thing about tailwind is that it is not a big component library, it's a set of css classes mapped to a few (usually one) style. All css classes are shitty, so you might as well use someone else's shitty css classes on all your projects rather than thinking you're being smart with a new set of classes that you will hate in 6 months when you come back to the project. roughly quoted from memory of @theprimeagen I

Why use a cms
When first learning to code its very common to hard code everything right into the code. This happens with most folks in just about any language. Whether its HTML or markdown for front end content, or even hardcoding parameters in our backend languages like python, or node.js. 🤷♀️ What's wrong with hard coding everything? Hard coding everything right into your code makes it really hard for non-technical collaborators to join. It makes it nearly impossible to hand websites off to clients without

Explicit vs Implicit Returns in Javascript
Often when reading through javascript examples you will find some arrow functions use parentheses while others use braces . This key difference is that parentheses will implicitly return the last statement while braces require an explicit return statement. It is important to understand the difference between them because it is likely that you will find code examples of both and trying to edit code written differently than you're used to may have unintended consequences. Arrow functions Arro
