Great article Kevin! I was thinking that we might need to do things from scratch as well, but that was a great idea to use existing tools to make your work easier

Thank you so much for your comment Luiz, glad you found it helpful!

Yeah I've been using the Mac for such a long time, but since I built my desktop, I thought it could be a good way to give it a try. Initially, I was planning to dual-boot with a Linux distro, but WSL is surprisingly good so I kept using windows only haha

Great article, I agree with you on making mistakes that’s why building things and get stuck is my favourite way to learn a new technology 😄 Algorithms is also a great thing to know like you said, a lot of interviews expects you to know some basic things about it - even if it’s just knowing when should you use a bisect search and why

Thank you Kevin! Hope this helps, if you have any issue adding the code highlighting let me know I'd be happy to give you a hand

This is a great write up Kevin! One thing worth to mention is that if you are using fetch/axios and have to pass an API Token to your header, even if you use a variable from .env it will be visible on the network tab of your browser. I know that this might be a bit out of the scope of this article, but I remember when I learned about keeping secrets safe, I thought I could just use .env to hide my API keys until someone told me that you could see them in the network tab haha So yeah, in this case, the best way to do it is by using a serverless function. Like you said on the article if you use Netlify or Vercel both allow you to use serverless functions and you could fetch your super-secret endpoint with your API tokens there
