JavaScript Recursion and Writing


I can’t help but feel a bit sad when someone said “you’re an idiot for spamming me” last week.

I think, on some level, the Internet has become a business-ground, so much so that the joys of participation between humans have been lost.

It’s becoming cold, hard, cruel, heartless, and… transactional.

But I believe there is still warmth and goodness on the Internet. I believe that there are people who will resonate with the warmth I’m trying to create. And this keeps me going.

At this point, I just want to appreciate you for being here, for reading this, and for spending a small amount of your time with me. It may be a tiny connection, but I treasure it.

Now, two articles today, as usual.

Understanding Recursion in JavaScript

I found this gem in my drafts folder the other day and I finally polished it enough to be released!

This article will walk through everything you need to know about recursion in a step-by-step, easy-to-understand manner that has become the signature of yours truly for a while.

Hope this helps.

On Shortform writing

If you’ve been around the Internet Business or Marketing world, you would hear people telling you that you can’t write like Seth Godin who, despite all odds, writes incredibly short and deep articles.

Since I’ve been writing short articles recently, I just wanted to address the annoyance I had about such sayings.

And I wanted to share with you — for those who are interested in writing — that you can write anything you want, anyhow you wish to, and in a way that best fits your style.

After all, writing is a generous act.

Splendid Labz update

I decided to put on the finishing touches and ready Splendid Labz for launch before writing the documentation for even more components.

I hope to give you some news on this soon. I’m very excited by this and I hope you will too. (It’s my best creation so far for the web world).

That’s it from me this week

This week has been productive. I’ve also had some basic pilates training that corrected my spinal positions — so I’m feeling fewer backaches compared to before.

I hope your week has went well. And I would love to hear back from you if you're open to it.

I hope you’ve been well. I just returned from a trip to Legoland to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and I’m in somewhat of a panic for having insufficient days to “do work” 😱😅. (I expected I’d have fewer days to work, but wrestling with that fact can still be challenging because of the deadlines I’ve set before). Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out. Two articles today, as usual :) Best Practice for Astro Endpoints This is a quick article on Astro endpoints. Basically, don’t prerender. Stress for...

I’ve been getting back into the swing of writing recently. I’ve got two posts queued up for you — and it’s been years since I last queued up a post! So it’s great! One of my biggest mistakes was to stop writing articles in advance. Instead, I tried to write an article on the same week I wanted to publish… I did that because my writing and publishing process felt dry when I wrote newsletters in advance. It felt like I was talking to a machine instead of a human... and I hated that. This...

How is it going? I hope you have been well this week, that you are making good progress in the directions you wish to be making, and that you’re resolving the obstacles that come, one at a time. You know, I find it incredibly funny to write these newsletters now. There was a period of time when I was like a random-internet-stranger who was hell-bent on giving (dumping, actually) information onto you, hoping that you would buy something from me. But today, I feel like a pen pal (or even a...
