Why My Expo Router App Froze on the Splash Screen After a Cold-Start Notification Tap

This is an English translation of my original article on Qiita. My Expo app occasionally stayed on the splash screen when it was launched by tapping a push notification from a terminated state. Opening the app normally worked. Tapping a notification after the app had already started also worked. The splash screen was not the cause. Two navigation operations were competing during startup. The authenticated layout checks for a token in SecureStore when it mounts. useEffect(() => { (async () => {

I Rewrote My Resume Once and Stopped Getting Ghosted. Then Oracle Called

For months, my resume was a list of things I had touched. React. Java. SQL. Docker. All true, all useless. I sent it out. Nothing came back. Not rejections — silence, which is worse, because a rejection at least tells you someone read the thing. Then I rewrote it. Same person, same internship, same side project, same six months of work. The second version got interviews, and eventually the offer from Oracle. Nothing about me changed. What changed was that the second resume made a claim, and the

I used the Hacker News API to check 5,000 old links. 34 domains are now unregistered.

Hacker News never rechecks a link. A story submitted in 2012 keeps its points, its comment thread and its URL forever. The site will happily send you to that URL in 2026 whether or not anything is still there. I wanted a base rate for that, specifically for HN rather than for the web in general, so I wrote a checker and pointed it at the archive. The numbers below are what it produced. Everything here comes from two official APIs. The tool reads hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/ for items and hn.al

Spaced Repetition Under the Hood: How We Decide When to Show a Word Again

Disclosure: I build VibeLing, a vocabulary app. This post is about the scheduler inside it — what it does, what we deliberately didn't build, and the thing that broke once real people started using it. Every spaced repetition app has one function at its core: given a word and everything that has happened to it so far, return a date. Show it again on that date. Everything else — the card UI, the audio, the streak counter — sits on top of that one decision. We got that function wrong in an interes

Shopify's Open Secret: Every Store Exposes /products.json

Shopify's Open Secret: Every Store Exposes /products.json Build in public: how I turned a 10-line trick into a working Shopify scraper — no login, no CAPTCHA, no anti-bot. If you've ever tried scraping an e-commerce site, you know the drill: Cloudflare walls, CAPTCHAs, session tokens, cat-and-mouse games with anti-bot teams. Then I discovered that most Shopify stores hand you their entire product catalog on a silver platter. Every Shopify store has a public JSON endpoint: https://STORE.com/pro
