Make these mistakes if you want to fail

Notion as a database is one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever heard of.

As a previous react native developer I feel pain watching this video more than I'd like to admit.

[@cody_codes_youtube]

Keeping track of mistakes is such a good practice! Also, it’s so good to learn from other mistakes too. Thanks for sharing.

[@JasonGoodison]

Thanks for commenting! Appreciate the support:)

[@SergiyPopovych]

And yo I love this technical content. I feel like my brain has grown after watching this for sure

[@sword_master-972]

I started coding seriously not so long ago, and recently I've been working on some React projects. This video came at the perfect time because I was looking for a way to simplify things, as I plan to create an application with a functional database, users, and other features. Your video helped me discover some tools I wasn't aware of. THANK YOU!

[@JasonGoodison]

So happy to hear :)

[@kenbookcredit]

Super insightful. Clerk seems like a game-changer

[@jacobclarke787]

Are you worried about the potential high cost of clerk and having clerk own your users data?

My recent coding mistake: So I was trying to add a new API for a requirement to edit something that already existed. I pushed the entire code to the branch and raise an PR, and I start testing my changes locally. Weirdly enough, the API was passing once, and failing the second time whenever I made the request. So I saw that the API was failing on every alternate request. I tried to debug what actually happened with a debugger, and check exactly how the objects are getting updated in every subsequent API call I'm making. I went in to a call, which was returning an object after an `if` condition passes, and after that, a bunch of things are happening, and that same object was being returned. Funny enough, I, in the same PR, made the change to return that object, instead of what it was returning before, which was just a boolean constant -- `true`. The thing is, after the `if`' condition failed, the bunch of things that were happening below that, were actually doing something to the actual DB values that form the prior said object. What I realised after 2 days of head-banging about this, was that the object return after the `if` condition was a stale object. It had to be picked again from the service layer to get the correct state of the object. So yeah, I understood what a stale object is, the hard-way. Now, it might just be easy for some, but when you're already thinking of a lot of things when writing code, these kind of things just slip past you, and you never know until you bang your head and find what's actually going on at a deeper level. Also, this kind of a problem can't even be solved even if you query any LLM in the market. So yeah, you learn something new, everyday. Keep coding, keep grinding!

Most of the coding mistake I does is "typo" errors.

[@Trucho1996]

Rn tech lead here. Just a heads up you can pretty easily build expo locally even with eas.

[@JasonGoodison]

Can you send some details? :) I tried a few things with little luck but am definitely certain there was an easier way

[@keslauche1779]

Wow you just absolutely put me off mobile development

[@JasonGoodison]

Haha it’s not all bad. But it is pretty bad

[@nang88]

Goated vid

[@SergiyPopovych]

I actually made the opposite mistake and used an SQL database when a noSQL would suffice 🙃

Intergrating Typescript took a few minutes for you? I know typescript configs to the core but i still waste time configuring it in every new project, there's always an issue 😂

[@noa-h5b]

Hi Jason, thanks all the advices you are sharing. Currently, I am solo founder and have not build the product yet and looking for co-founder. I am technical (ML research scientist) but not SWE. I don’t know if I can find a tech co-founder right now or during the program. I know that I can’t build the product during the program by myself, talking to customers, doing the ML part etc. I am wondering if you are expected to build the product during the program to fund raise? Thanks a lof for your help

[@CricketThomas]

You worked at MSFT but don’t like modern c# and dotnet? Didn’t use azure? Didn’t use Azures available up to 250k in credits for startups? Didn’t use azure B2C? Didn’t use azure for hosting? Broooo

[@JasonGoodison]

Azure is so hard to use. There are multi billion dollar companies built off of becoming a ui layer infront of AWS/azure. When iterating I don’t use these directly. But also let’s be honest dot net is terrible (however c# is cool)

[@minsuayo]

If you don’t mind me asking, what was your gr.12 average? Would you recommend Waterloo or UofT for CS?

[@JasonGoodison]

93 when I applied and Waterloo!

[@King-nifemi]

I want to code but I can't afford a laptop that can run vscode Could you give me your old laptop

[@juanmacias5922]

Use a bare bones Linux OS (I'd suggest Arch based), and run Vim, or Nvim, or VSCode.

[@willowthewindbelow]

I want a epic rap battle between you and fireship Firebase vs Clerk 🤣

[@efe0050]

hey jason, im going to study in poland. gonna get out of this 2nd world country. im thinking about giving it all. can u help me with my tutition? its about 2k per semester..

[@elijahari2437]

Hi man! I have seen some of your videos and I’m really interested in learning how to code. I have been wandering for a couple days, and I have come to the decision of asking you to teach me. If you read this comment, can you please help me learn how to code and program? Btw I liked and subbed this video

[@juanmacias5922]

TLDR: Don't cut corners. ;D

[@jakelake-u1q]

brother changed the title 5 times

[@JasonGoodison]

You should see how many times I change the title / thumbnail. Upwards of 60-70 each video lol

[@ma3loma.-fk8sb]

❤❤❤❤❤

Found the line at 10:10 😂

[@IamJohnKelly]

need a free mentor

[@TPG6996]

Sleep more please :)

[@JasonGoodison]

Always!!! I’m constantly looking for the proper starter template instead
