Salma - Software engineer, livestream coder and dev educator

Similarly to last year, the day ended with a high-energy, fun talk. Salma Alam-Naylor entertained us with examples of what she streams on Twitch, what it looks like, and what she did before she started in tech. There was so much! Previously, the idea of watching a coding stream didn’t appeal much to me, but after Salma’s talk, I’m tempted to check out her community.

With a heavy focus on being inclusive and friendly, whitep4nth3r dives into a diverse range of topics around science and technology. They also have a really useful website with a lot of knowledge that I can recommend visiting.

And lastly, you may want to check for multiple referer header values — in which case a single string may not suffice, and you may want to do something like I do on my website.

First, sign up for a free account at https://sentry.io. Create a new project and make note of your DSN (Data Source Name).

Using APM tools like NewRelic, Sentry, Datadog, etc to monitor the performance of your application and while you're on it, they can help you identify N+1 queries.

However, ensuring the reliability and performance of your Next.js app is equally crucial. That’s where Sentry comes into play. Combined with Sentry, an industry-leading error monitoring platform, Next.js empowers developers to proactively identify and resolve issues that may arise in their applications. In this article, we’ll explore how to integrate Sentry into your Next.js project for effective error monitoring and performance optimization.

Sentry: Error monitoring for applications, including APIs. Also offers application performance monitoring (APM).

Indeed, webapps are not immune to distribution problems. Wayward and invasive browser extensions are a clear threat, as are 3rd-party dependencies (and their dependencies) loaded at runtime. Which is why companies like https://sentry.io exist. I think the difference is that webapps are "distributable by default" and it takes real work to break this. Versus having local desktop apps which require work to distribute. A potent example of the power of defaults.

Sentry produces nothing of value? You don't value an open source error tracking and performance monitoring platform? https://github.com/getsentry/sentry

> You invent something, and then immediately turn it into a cheap commodity by releasing it for free.

Exactly. A 71-line python script https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/commit/3c2e87573d3bd16f6... was groundbreaking when it came out and the fact that it springboarded into a startup is commendable.
