Tutorials
Practical, opinionated guides for full-stack developers. No fluff, no hello-world apps — just the patterns I actually use in production.
What's here
These guides assume you're a working developer who wants to build real products. I skip the basics and focus on the decisions that actually matter.
Start here
- Dev Environment Setup — The setup I use across all my projects
Full-stack guides
- Building a SaaS with Next.js — Auth, billing, teams, emails
- Postgres Patterns for Developers — Schema design that scales without headaches
- Deploy on a VPS (and stop paying Heroku prices) — Hetzner + Dokku setup
Format
Every tutorial has:
- What you'll build — concrete, runnable outcome
- Why this approach — the tradeoffs I considered
- The code — copy-pasteable, production-ready
- What I'd do differently — honest retrospective
