Lately, I've been thinking a lot about "vibe coding" — moving fast, staying in flow, and using AI to accelerate idea exploration rather than getting bogged down in setup. "Vibe coding," a term popularized by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy, refers to levera...

There’s a new kind of developer flow happening, and it doesn’t start with types, diagrams, or frameworks. It starts with a vibe. What Is “Vibe Coding”? We used to architect before we coded. Debate folder structures. Argue about types. Now? You have an ...

GROQ (Graph Relational Object Queries) is a query language that was created by Sanity to query CMS data. It’s a flexible query language and the use of projections makes it a powerful tool to construct complex and efficient data queries. GROQ vs. GraphQL ...

While GROQ is nominally similar to GraphQL, there are subtle differences. Here's a quick run down of the similarities and differences, so that you can understand the reasons for GROQs existence, and some of it’s use-cases, before using it yourself Both us...

My solution to the Tuple to Object TypeScript Challenge as part of my journey to Understanding the TypeScript Challenges. Given an array, transform it into an object type and the key/value must be in the provided array. Solution Loop over the values in ...

My solution to the Readonly TypeScript Challenge as part of my journey to Understanding the TypeScript Challenges. Given a type T, the utility should set the readonly keyword for all properties. Solution Explanation { } return an object/record type re...

My solution to the Pick TypeScript Challenge as part of my journey to Understanding the TypeScript Challenges. The MyPick generic type is a custom version of the native Pick generic function. Given a type T and a union of keys K, the generic function shou...

In TypeScript there is a as assertion. There are two reasons for this annotation. Firstly it's a way to tell TypeScript that a value is of a certain type which differs from what is being inferred, or has already been set. Essentially, it's used to tell Ty...
