I learned twenty painful API lessons this year. Some are embarrassing, some are just weird. I wrote them down because I do not want to repeat them. If this is interesting, I will answer questions.
I used to ship my app with a JavaScript first mindset. It felt fast on my own laptop, but users on weak phones, slow networks, or locked down corporate browsers kept running into sticky pages and half awake UI.
After I finally measured what I was shipping, I realized most of the client code was not adding value. It was just making hydration heavier, breaking accessibility, and hiding simple HTML solutions.
The post walks through the process I used to cut around 80 percent of the JS without going full “no JS”: listing real interactions in human language, leaning on native elements like details and dialog, using bundle analyzers, and deleting dependency creep. It also shows the small performance and accessibility checklist I use now.
Please review the article that discusses twenty web API vulnerabilities I encountered this year. If you wish, I can turn any of them into a detailed, in-depth article with a small repository and testing schedule. I will read all your comments.
If you share links with other people, prefer sharing a curated playlist or a view-only snapshot instead of your whole workspace. It reduces the chance of exposing private notes and makes the list easier to consume.
Stop keeping dozens of tabs open. Paste links into ClipNotebook and turn them into clean playlists you can open and share in seconds. ClipNotebook is a simple online bookmark manager. Paste links and we turn them into clean visual cards you can revisit anywhere. Create read‑only snapshot links and send them to friends or teammates. Share playlists without exposing your private notebook URL.
Passwordless authentication is becoming more mainstream as more people and platforms recognize how it improves security over traditional passwords. Big-name players like Microsoft, Google, and Apple are among those leading the charge...
PS: Ahead of China’s Yulin dog meat ‘festival’, a new survey reveals most Yulin residents don’t eat dog or cat meat and say a ban would have no impact on their lives LOL
A baseless claim that illegal immigrants from Haiti have been eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city has been repeated by Donald Trump.
During ABC's presidential debate, Trump said: "In Springfield, they are eating the dogs. The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there."
