stayed up late implementing backend from scratch #60sbio

Make an iced cocoa (20g of pure cocoa, so as much caffeine as a cup of tea) by myself for the first time in my life; spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out how to get Go to store my user password hashed; ran into an issue using the 'air' live reloader where it wasn't working after I redid the project structure, and it didn't have useful error messages or documentation to help me figure out what setting I needed to set to get it to work again; got past the air issue, it turns out I had to specify the directories to watch and without any leading "./"; created a user via the Vuetify app and confirmed that the password is hashed on the backend; created a Stack Overflow Q&A explaining how I fixed the issue for future newbies; committed my code. Set a goal for tomorrow: implement the authenticationHandler.

Finish frontend code and tests for authentication by URL code #simpleotp

Felt great upon waking up after taking 300mcg melatonin last night before bed; today getting login working: figured out how to translate the email/password validators used in Let's Go Further to Huma's way of doing input validation so the API will return an error if the email/password don't pass basic sanity checks; figured out how to return a 404 error with Huma if the user isn't found in the database; got the code working that checks the supplied password against the hashed password in the db and returns a 401 error if they don't match; pushed pass my normal 2-hour daily work limit to get the endpoint working (returning a token) so I can move on to something else because this sucks. Next up (tomorrow): get the front-end to receive/save the auth token and send it when signing in / etc. #govuetifytemplate

✅ did some after hour client work to help out their frontend dev #mylife

woke up and worked on the frontend of my project from bed before having a coffee #learnwebdev

today was my first day actually doing Go development instead of just tutorials: took a magnesium tablet b/c I felt anxious last night, I think from the caffeine in the cocoa I had been drinking; copied my frontend code from my flask/vuetify template repo to my go/vuetify template repo; confirmed I can serve the frontend code locally; installed Go; drank an iced cocoa; successfully started my 'Hello World' main.go backend file as a web app server; asked ChatGPT for help converting my "POST /users/" request to use Go; created a Go module; installed Postman macOS; took a 15min break after an hour; got my frontend app "talking to" my Go backend (successfully returned "Hello World" and had it on-screen in my frontend app); added Go middleware to log every request to the console so I can see what is happening; renamed my (default) branch from 'master' to 'main'; got live reloading for my Go backend (it automatically reloads the backend when I make changes to the code); confirmed my "POST /users/" returns 201 when I use the frontend registration form; came up with a task for tomorrow: get "POST /api/session" working; set up PyCharm to be able to explore my SQLite db from within the DB toolbar; confirmed that my user registration created a new user record in the db

Finished the frontend code for login (functionally works, UI needs some adjustments) www.loom.com/share/b747870fc3… #simpleotp

Sweet frontend dev time.

Copied over the frontend changes needed to get the auth working from my #govuetifytemplate to my #whatdo repo

Got back into working on my HN-jobs-auto-applier: Built the UI to allow a user to click a button to connect their gmail account to my app and have it save access / refresh tokens to the backend...fixed misc things that broke for unknown reasons...got the backend deploying to digital ocean without erroring, not sure why it stopped working...currently trying to figure out why, when I ssh into my server, it seems to show me at an older commit, when my github action seems to be working without errors and having me at the newest commit...figured out that I was running the wrong command to check the current commit, IDK why an older commit was still present in some of the files...FINALLY got prod working where I can sign into gmail, upload my resume, and send an email to myself. FUCK that was so much harder than it should've been...added a netlify.toml redirect so that I can go to whatdo.com/jobs and have it load the SPA instead of 404ing...fixed a bug where a refresh token wasn't being saved to the db in prod...

Managed to launch my IDE for #connectify today

Started to built out the frontend #redacted

Only got ~5hrs of sleep after two double espressos yesterday, so I took a Lycopene capsule...signed up for a LinkedIn Premium free trial so I could send a message to a Kasikorn backend engineer to ask why users can't export their transaction history in CSV format...removed the 'Blog' link on nw.com b/c I don't have the WordPress blog up and I never really used the blog that much, added a link to my email address instead so people can contact me...started going through the Kasikorn API "Slip Verification" challenges...got the first one done...the second one requires I have SSL set up on my domain and not through Cloudflare...discovered while doing that that my whatdo site is returning a 404 if I try to sign in...got GoLand's db tool connecting to the digital ocean postgres db b/c I noticed that wasn't set up yet...install postgres on my macbook b/c something got messed up and somehow it seemed to not be installed...got all the db problems fixed, don't know how that happened...now having a CORS issue when running locally, all this stuff was working, IDK how it all broke...ok I remember now, I YOLO'd the backend code and disabled the existing router to get the Line echo bot working...sent an email to another local YouTuber to ask if I can be in a video with him...installed cursor and tried using it for a simple refactor task to get a sense of how it works...figured out a way (thanks to ChatGPT) to get the Line callback handler working while also not breaking the existing routes...went for a massage to give my brain cells some time to recover...used cursor some more and I get the hype, this is really cool, I'm surprised Jetbrains hasn't copied it yet...after a long while I finally got my whatdo backend working properly again (auth + user middleware working), it was a good learning experience with cursor and Go...got a GitHub Action set up so my DO dokku VPS will update when I push to main, so now both frontend and backend will update automatically when I push to GitHub...ending the day on this banger set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2340… Tomorrow: I need to bill hours to my client to make $, I want to try to finish the KBank API challenge to see if I can do the Slip Verification, I want to email another YouTuber, if I have any time left over I want to keep going with that Line/ChatGPT bot and try to make a frontend interface for it.

Finish auth by url code backend. Still need to handle CORS dynamically depending on the site's configured auth URL, but that's a task for tomorrow #simpleotp
