Day 46 - Code Struggles

Error

Today, I was haunted by coding errors. While I'm well-versed in React, integrating a to me less familiar framework like Next.js can be a challenge. The official documentation is thorough, finding help on other platforms is tricky, especially because I am using the relatively new app router. So when the documentation is lacking, there is little help to find. Throughout the day, I wrestled with several compile errors while implementing authentication. It consumed most of my time, but I eventually managed to resolve them and configure everything to meet our needs. Now, users can create accounts, log in, log out, and more. However, since it consumed the bulk of my day, there isn't much else to report in terms of progress.

Startup Life

Days like today show the contrast between corporate and startup environments. Achieving an authentication solution within a single day in a established company would be considered quite impressive. However, in the startup realm, it's a different story. Devoting an entire day to a single function feels like a significant investment with limited gain. Nonetheless, there's little recourse but to push forward. I still hope that I can launch the new version of the website tomorrow, I better get some rest now to be prepared for the day ahead.
