    1. Bloom filters: the niche trick behind a 16× faster API | Blog | incident.io
    2. I was super bored last night and created my first website of my cat lol. At first, I started off using termux and was seeing if I can host the website locally and it worked. I then transferred everything from Termux and put it on the world wide web from GitHub. All from my phone. It was super fun!
    3. I developed a small 5G base stations’ cell Throughput calculator as part of a 5G Test Automation project. This tool is designed to support automated radio-level validation in 5G testing

    1. I know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I'm not interested in frontend. I want to learn backend development but don't know which JavaScript framework to start with. Given that I dont know a thing in backend (I only know the await fetch API), which framework would you recommend?
