How my Frontend skills helped me pass my sailing test
Nice. We have data with meaning. Now let's create the presentation layer (aka the UI!) and then let's add interactivity to the UI, so we can have feedback when actually simulating an exam (aka the Frontend!). Since in ING we are advocates of Web Components, I always wanted to give this stack a try for side projects. I jumped right into open-wc.org and used the npm generator. Everything worked precisely as expected. It was a breeze since my Chapter is using lit every. single. day. So I could finally get some mileage myself, in writing lit. At work, as a Chapter Lead, I prefer to spend my time more effectively for the team, rather than coding new features by myself; my chapter does it better anyway (#proud).

Getting Started with Wireframes & Prototypes for Applications
This application is one of many applications out there that are dipping their toes in the land of web components. Web components are still very new and ever-growing. While I have been developing on HAX-the-Web, I am also the Project Manager for HAXCamp 2022. < hax-camp > is an unconference dedicated to all things Web Components!This year's event is being student-run and we anticipate there being discussions about openwc, lit, performance, element composition, css, hax.psu, pedagogy, and design systems. If this work flow is something that you are interested in, I would encourage signing up for this event. It is much more than this, larger than you know and a way to connect with students, faculty, staff, and professional in the industry.

12 habits that secretly turn average devs into 10x engineers (no, not ChatGPT)
Early in my career, I struggled to understand how React’s state updates actually worked. Docs gave me the basics, but edge cases around batching were confusing. One weekend, I pulled up the React source code on GitHub and traced how state changes bubbled through the scheduler. Suddenly, the “weird bugs” I hit at work made sense because I wasn’t guessing anymore, I’d seen the engine.

From TypeScript to SQL: Automatically Granting DB Permissions Without Losing Your Mind
At IVAO, we partially follow micro-services best practices. This means each business group (e.g., Flight tracking, Flight planning, Air Traffic controlling, Training) has its own NestJS API and ReactJS frontend. But we took a shortcut on the DB side, as we have quite some references across systems, especially for user IDs, airports, etc... We decided to have a single MariaDB instance while having a dedicated logical database for each API, so we still have a separation of concerns but we can guarantee data integrity with foreign keys across those databases.
