I was sure Figma would reject my cover art. The email asked about something else.

A few years ago, my Figma skills were roughly limited to whatever I could make from templates designer friends gave me. Sometimes I made silly pictures for colleagues. A normal user, basically: I can do a few things, and if I can't, I probably don't need to be there. Then I changed jobs, and somehow this escalated. Sometimes I fix a layout myself, sometimes I make an agent do it because spending…

A few years ago, the author's Figma skills were limited to using templates. Then, they changed jobs and began fixing layouts and creating plugins.

TCP vs UDP: The Two Ways to Move Data, and Why Neither Is "Better"

  • TCP provides reliability through confirmation of delivery, in-order delivery, and error awareness

I spent about a week building factorcalculator.org — a free math tool that finds the factors, factor pairs, prime factorization and divisors of any number, with the full working shown instead of just…

  • Next.js App Router doesn't support partial dynamic segments
  • Hand-built pages keep routes while dynamic parameters generate static routes
  • Hydration mismatch fixed by rendering nothing interactive until component mounts
