Does anyone know how to cache-burst open graph images on twitter? It's just holding on to my old OG and not letting go even though everywhere else has acknowledged the change lol

As I build this app, I decided to share how I think about the product and how I actually bring features to life. Writing about it is almost as much work as building it lmao. Also my OpenGraph image won't update so here it is with the outdated one...? internetdrew.com/blog/bringing-…

If you don’t build your own dream, someone else will hire you to build theirs. But here’s the thing, if you don’t have a strong foundation like I didn’t, it’s okay to build someone else’s dream first. Use that to earn the skills, money, and resources you need to eventually

My love hate relationship with NextJS continues. In today's news, why is the setup for a PWA so much work. Vite & React = follow the docs on MDN without issue. On Next, somehow got it working on desktop but completely not working on mobile. Black boxes kill speed.

Another observation: when running local development setup for Supbase, my computer starts heating up when using next. When I use my Vite-based React setup, it's quiet and cool. The weight! The bloat!

When coding is easier, you realize that the challenge is identifying a real problem, solving real problems (not symptoms of them), and providing value and staying connected with who you serve. Code is great. But the rest is the hard part.

Wow. Def have an article or two on the way. Nuances missed when trying to: - Use Supabase for local development and how to implement Google OAuth - How to build your own stack and deploy the server to Vercel (lots of little things to miss here that break in production)

Accidentally found out why web workers exist when a long sequence of operations that worked just fine on desktop would halt things on mobile. Something new coming soon.

And another lesson learned. How to not get confused when implementing realtime from Supabase in React. Just got something cool working (and need more realtime). Lots of lessons learned and something coming soon! ✍️

You're worried about what other people think, but they're not thinking about you at all. Build the business. Publish the work. Fail publicly. Nobody cares, which is ironically your greatest advantage.

I was today years old when i found out how awesome socket io is. implementing realtime features just got exponentially faster and more fun to work with.
