One of my projects was finally consolidating two blogging platforms into one. I had previously built a portfolio site with Gatsby way back in the day—like 7 years ago when I mainly focused on front-end engineering. It had a bunch of technical and human skills posts that had largely been dormant since 2021. However, the posts about <a href="https://skylerlemay.com/tags/typescript/">TypeScript utility types</a> still drive a lot of traffic to this day. I started writing again last year and wanted something that I could get up and running without having to worry about managing dependencies and fiddling with all of the little things. That was a quick way for me to get stuck in the minutiae, and not actually write. The content was also less technical, so I decided to separate it and spin up a Substack account.</p> https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-bundle-knex-with-webpack-for-serverless/ Fri, 22 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-bundle-knex-with-webpack-for-serverless/ Solve Knex bundling issues with Webpack using NormalModuleReplacementPlugin for cleaner serverless deployments. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/tailwindcss-from-skeptic-to-advocate/ Mon, 18 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/tailwindcss-from-skeptic-to-advocate/ Why I changed my mind about utility-first CSS after working with Tailwind on three projects. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/better-dependency-management-using-renovate/ Mon, 18 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/better-dependency-management-using-renovate/ Discover how Renovate automates dependency updates more effectively than Dependabot or Greenkeeper for better code maintenance. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-configure-jest-for-vue-apps-using-vuetify/ Wed, 09 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-configure-jest-for-vue-apps-using-vuetify/ Fix Jest testing errors with Vuetify&rsquo;s global components by properly configuring your test setup. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/8-new-eslint-rules-jest/ Mon, 09 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/8-new-eslint-rules-jest/ Explore 8 powerful ESLint rules for Jest testing that improve code quality and catch common testing pitfalls. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/shaping-javascript-usage-with-eslint/ Thu, 23 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/shaping-javascript-usage-with-eslint/ Beyond code quality: how ESLint&rsquo;s expansive rules can shape team coding patterns and enforce project-specific standards. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-manage-snapshots-with-eslint/ Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-manage-snapshots-with-eslint/ Keep Jest snapshots manageable with ESLint rules that prevent overly large, hard-to-review snapshot files. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/iterating-quickly-with-graphql-and-gatsby/ Mon, 11 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/iterating-quickly-with-graphql-and-gatsby/ Leverage Gatsby&rsquo;s GraphQL integration to rapidly build blog features like categories, tags, and metadata. https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-manage-dependencies-with-confidence/ Mon, 25 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://skylerlemay.com/blog/how-to-manage-dependencies-with-confidence/ Learn three core principles for safe dependency management to avoid breaking changes and maintain project stability.
