I kept rewriting landing pages for my side projects.

Every time:

• new repo
• copy old layout
• tweak styles
• adjust sections
• repeat

At some point I realized I don’t actually enjoy writing JSX for marketing pages.

I enjoy building product logic.

So I started extracting a small framework.

I've been falling into some silent killer issues with Google Search Console lately. Sharing a few quick tips that actually saved me.

I'm sure you already registered your property in Search Console and implemented sitemap.xml + robots.txt.
If not → set it up right away, seriously.

I really like Nx — the monorepo tooling is solid, and Nx Cloud's free tier is actually pretty generous. But for my current project it's still not enough, and the project isn't profitable yet to justify paying for more cache minutes or storage.

One of the core ideas behind interview-aloud is simple:
knowing an answer isn’t the same as being able to say it out loud.

Reading silently gives you a false sense of confidence. Speaking forces clarity. That’s why audio matters in this project.

I was out running some errands when I got an idea for a new topic for Interview Aloud.

Nothing fancy. Just one of those “this would be useful” thoughts.

I've done a several interviews over the years. Technically I'm usually fine. I understand the problems, I know how to design systems, I can write code. But one thing kept showing up again and again. Explaining my thinking out loud was harder than it should be.

I knew the answer in my head, but turning that into clear, structured speech under pressure was not natural for me. Especially in English. Sometimes I would realize after the interview that I actually knew the solution, I just didn't express it well.

Happy New Year 🎉

2025 was that kind of year. I was informed that our team and eventually the whole department would be laid off by the end of the year. It forced me to pause, reflect, and then double down.

It started with what looked like a legitimate message on LinkedIn — a person claiming to be a recruiter offering an exciting remote developer position. Their profile seemed professional, the message sounded convincing, and they even invited me to a private GitHub repository for a “technical assessment.”

At first glance, everything looked fine. But something felt off.

I had heard about similar incidents on LinkedIn before — fake recruiters tricking developers into cloning repositories filled with malicious code. So when this offer came up, I was a bit paranoid from the start. Still, the offer looked so good it was hard to ignore.

I recently ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 from Temu, along with a microSD card, card reader, and micro HDMI cable, all for around $110. However, I made one big mistake—I didn’t buy a power supply.
