I hit something small but interesting (it tripped me up, and I've been writing Python for a lot of years!). I'd started a new Flask project and had intended to keep API keys in a secrets file but then chose to run with environment variables holding them while I was testing. When I switched Flask to development mode, it threw an error - it turned out that it was finding my empty
secrets.pyfile and complaining about it (but worked fine in "production"). TIL!You mean "Flask"?
Yep, thanks - fixed!
I learned a lot about accessibility this week and started to use screen reader in order to check on different websites. Going this path makes me really happy.
I also had to check out digital whiteboards for our company, gaining some firsthand experience working with a windows surface hub. I never worked with a whiteboard before, it was a nice experience.
I am exploring Promises, Observables, Subjects in a more detailed level.
I even wrote a post explaining a bug I encountered because of the way Promises are resolved.
What are you learning these days @nickytonline ?
For myself, I’ll be learning a bit more about a new web framework called Fresh! It runs atop of Deno. I’ll be chatting with the creator next week about it.
learning solidity erc721
Nice!
What is it?
Taught myself how to do some video editing.
Been learning more about the Postgres wire protocol!
That's awesome! 🔥 I have no idea what it is tbh. Sounds like it’d make for a great blog post!
Yes absolutely! That’s the plan 😁
I’ve basically built a Postgres mock service which you can connect to and run some predefined queries:
Learned lunacy which is a free ui design tool for both operating systems (windows/Ubuntu) 😘 i love it.
Nice!
I learnt that now there is a CSS property to handle fluid typography on web pages : clamp 🦄
Noice!
