When working with Next.js, the default port for the development server is set to 3000. While this is convenient for many projects, there are times when we need to run our application on a different port, such as 5000. Maybe it’s a port conflict, or perhaps it’s just a personal preference. Whatever the reason, configuring
As a Python developer, managing dependencies can become overwhelming, especially as your project grows. We’ve all been there—running into conflicts between packages or wondering why a certain package isn’t working as expected. To avoid confusion and keep your environment clean, it’s essential to get a clear picture of your project’s dependency tree. Fortunately, there are
Working with Docker has become a staple for developers across different platforms, especially when it comes to packaging applications into containers. One thing that’s often overlooked, though, is how much control you can have over Docker’s image-pushing process. If you’ve ever been frustrated by slow uploads or wanted to optimize how Docker pushes layers to
When building a web application, one essential feature you’ll need is generating user-friendly URLs—commonly referred to as “slugs”—from database entries, like company names. A slug takes the company’s name and turns it into a URL-safe string, usually by lowercasing it, replacing spaces with dashes, and removing any non-alphanumeric characters. In my most recent project, I
As a project grows, it’s common for unused files, dependencies, and exports to accumulate. Over time, these unnecessary elements clutter your codebase, increasing the complexity and making maintenance harder. In my experience, keeping a clean codebase is critical to maintaining efficiency and reducing technical debt. One tool that has consistently helped me with this is
When working with a PostgreSQL database, you might need to extract the DDL (Data Definition Language) statements, which define the structure of your database. This could be necessary for various reasons, such as backing up schema definitions, migrating to a new environment, or simply documenting your database design. In this post, I’ll walk you through
Recently, I was working on a React project that required certain elements to toggle fullscreen mode, and I needed to reuse this functionality across different components. I wanted a clean, reusable solution that leveraged TypeScript to ensure type safety. This led me to create a custom hook for managing fullscreen behavior in React. In this
When working with text-heavy web applications, you might come across scenarios where long text needs to be truncated after a certain number of lines. CSS properties like -webkit-line-clamp make this easy by limiting the visible lines of text, but you might need to know when that text has been clamped for purposes like showing a
When working with Trino, I often find myself needing to inspect the contents of a catalog or specific tables. Knowing how to quickly check the structure and data inside a table is crucial for understanding the data you’re working with. In this post, I’ll walk through how I navigate catalog contents and view table structures
Building responsive, interactive applications in React often requires creating components that dynamically change based on user interaction. One common feature is allowing a div to take over the entire screen with the click of a button, creating a fullscreen effect. In this post, I’ll walk through how to implement this feature, making sure to keep
When working with deep learning models in PyTorch, it’s crucial to ensure that your model is running on the GPU for faster training and inference. Using a GPU instead of a CPU can significantly speed up computations, especially with large datasets and complex models. In this post, we’ll walk through how to check if PyTorch
When working with Node.js and TypeScript, it’s common to encounter the need to include non-code files like JSON, text files, or even Markdown files in your build output. These files, essential for configurations, data, or documentation, often need to be copied into your dist folder during the build process. However, the TypeScript compiler (tsc) only
