Hello my name is Jean clenor, I am interested in becoming fullstack dev.

Let’s be real—most software engineers are low-key just surviving the code jungle. We follow tutorials, paste in snippets, see it run, and call it a day. Everything works. Life is good. But here’s the twist: working code doesn’t always mean understood code. And that’s where the "Zoobie Coder" comes in. Note author of the book programmer brain Felienne Herman confirm this in one of the podcast she was interviewed What’s a Zoobie Coder? A Zoobie Coder is someone who codes on autopilot. You use the tools. You build the features. But you don’t really understand the inner workings. You just go with the flow—because it works. There’s no pause to explore why something works, or how it could break. And it’s not because you’re lazy—it’s because most learning environments are built for speed, not depth. The Escape Route? Start Teaching. Now imagine this: someone asks you to teach a class on how to clone Amazon—not just build it, but explain every step. Suddenly, the game changes. It’s no longer about “just getting it to work.” Now you’re thinking, “Wait, how does this routing setup actually function?” “Why did we choose this API call pattern?” “What would break if I changed this logic?” That’s the shift from Zoobie Mode to Deep Learning Mode. Because when you’re learning to teach, your brain operates on a whole new level. In both episode 1,2 and 4 of React entrepreneur and every challenges done by @Sonny Sangha and @Jay Rathod they preach this concept of teaching. in case you forget anytime @Sonny Sangha mentioned Jimmy just just know it time 😊 Why Teaching Forces Real Understanding When you're building to use, you aim for speed. When you're building to teach, you aim for clarity. You slow down. You ask better questions. You start caring about structure, naming, flow, and edge cases. And ironically, you end up learning faster—because you're no longer skipping over things you “don’t need right now.”

Hey PapaFam, any advise will be highly appreciated. Am working on a project where i would consider implementing text editor for formatting blog articles. Any recommendation which should working with Nextjs and convex.

Hi guys I have rewritten the whole auth logic of my lucia auth template and improoved the user experience Check it out guys https://github.com/Ajay01103/Lucia-Auth-TRPC-NextJS-15 Vercel link https://lucia-v3-starterkit.vercel.app

Anyone who wants a solid boilerplate to run these 12 builds with swing by https://next-alchemy-14-2.vercel.app/ and grab a link to the github. The template includes enhanced eslint & typescript rules that will ensure no build errors when deploying to vercel. Commit Lint will lint and format code before commits, and run all test & type script checks before pushing to remote. There are tons of tailwind extensions and plugins to make your dev experience on the front end smoother. Warning, the tighter ruleset for this template will cause errors in many of these builds that Sonny does not get, or may get at the end when he deploys the build. I can help you with these knowing you will have the code flawless and still get errors with this template. However, the point is to avoid build errors down the line make you a better developer, and prepare you for working with tighter rules in the field, while improving the overall dev experience. This will also prevent you from committing and pushing errors into your repo. Good luck and happy coding.
