Snippet Pixie: Next – Fixes galore, refactored lots in Go and Svelte | Always Developing #158

Quick overview of how I fixed everything up off-camera that was causing me problems in the previous session. Basically a massive refactor and use of go.mod files for each deliverable rather than a single global one.

Then I go on to get adding snippets from the GUI app working. 🎉

Following that, I implement checking that the daemon is up and running, create a new Screen svelte component that all screens sub-class from, show a notice when daemon not available, and disable the “Save” button in the Add Snippets screen as appropriate.

This was a long but productive session!

Live coding an app with Go and SvelteJS.

Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.
