When we write software for our own use, vs for enterprise - it is a fundamentally different process. What works for a team of one person, does not work for a team of 100. Let's take a look at the most common processes that are in place to ensure that code survives the test of time when maintained by a big team.

Every developer should know their code editor, version control system, how to make incremental changes to code, not be afraid of trial and error and respect achievement of other developers. Let's take a look in more detail on what each of these means and why they are all important.

Configure Hosts File on Asus RT-AX88U Router

Have you ever wondered how to configure local access to an externally accessible resource in your network, via the same domain name? Simple example is a NAS storage. In my case Synology DS918+. After setting up SSL, I realized that I cannot access the NAS locally via the same domain name, only by IP. But accessing by IP gives me SSL related errors. Each part of the solution was not difficult to find. There are just a few dozen moving parts. In my case the weak spot was Linux knowledge, and relying on command line, as I am generally a GUI fan.

Blazor Style Encapsulation
· ☕ 4 min read
To explain what style encapsulation means, we will look at how Angular does it. On this screenshot an h1 style is converted to _ngcontent-lvy-c0 class during compilation, and so it does not leak out styles to other components and the app. You can declare another h1 style in another component and that will not have any effect on this component, guaranteed by Angular. Or its children, which might be even more important (so it's more than just nesting css in an HTML selector tree).
