Learning in public as a beginner

I'm new to building websites, and that's exactly why I want to write about it. Beginners notice the confusing parts that experts have long forgotten.

What I've learned so far

1. Small components are easier to understand than big ones.
2. Reading the docs for your exact version saves hours.
3. Shipping something simple beats planning something perfect.

A tiny snippet

This is the kind of thing that confused me at first: in Next.js 16, page params are a Promise, so you await them.

export default async function Page(props: PageProps<"/blog/[slug]">) {
  const { slug } = await props.params;
  return <h1>{slug}</h1>;
}

More notes soon. If something here is wrong, the contact form at the bottom of the home page is the best way to tell me.
