[@prashlovessamosa]

CJ is in God mode.

[@ArionKosturi]

CJ! The best there is! Syntax + Coding Garden is a match made in heaven!💻🧠

[@alexdin1565]

CJ, why do you make everything so easy, Thanks for this amazing content.

[@karabetian]

This video answered so many of my questions. Amazing content, thanks for everything CJ 🎉

[@0xIg_dev]

We all want more of this!! CJ videos are awesome. I would love a video about hosting email server with my own domain.

[@DRTYDR3Y]

This video was incredibly informative and well-structured, making information/concepts accessible and engaging. The examples used were particularly helpful in solidifying my understanding. It's rare to find content that balances depth and clarity so effectively. Kudos CJ for such a valuable resource! Keep bringing the 🔥.

[@elierh442]

Awesome content! 😮 Very educational and easy to understand. Please make more videos!

[@saidyeter]

amazing work. thank you cj and syntax team

[@sarmhn123]

Useful. Thanks mate

[@AleksandarT10]

Would be great to see some videos on Nginx and Caddy - starting from some simple config and going to more complex scenarios😊

[@just_morby]

These videos are 🔥🔥

[@ZaffaMan91]

Loving this series, thank you so much CJ and Syntax team! I would love to see something about self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics 😊

[@ralacerda12]

wow thank you so much for answering my question. I even forgot about it, so it was a nice surprise, and thank you for the answer. Since you are going to talk about fail2ban, can it be used with an node app (or anything else that is not http request)? Like banning an ip that is trying to guess passwords in a private admin page.

[@ashikpaul345]

Great video. Please create one about frontend testing. Unable to find a helpful video on this.

[@TheNaive]

Can you do load test program video step by step?

[@Goldsacs]

Last slide... @getsantry 🤣
