@Gifftybabe Alright, I'm learning Backend too

@the___newbie I already do frontend 👨‍💻 Backend is what I’m learning now through a real project. I’m building both sides so everything works together. Stay with the story 😉

Day 9 of learning backend 🚀 Today I focused on STRUCTURE. Not writing features yet… but setting up a scalable frontend architecture using React + TypeScript. Clean structure = faster development later. We build smart, not messy 🔥 #BuildInPublic #100DaysOfCode

Middleware finally clicked for me when I saw it as a “checkpoint”. Every request must pass through it before reaching your route. Simple idea—powerful use.

Now you can do: app.get('/dashboard', protect, (req, res) => { res.json({welcome: "Secret area"}); });Middleware = checkpoints in your request flow. Super powerful once it clicks What backend concept is confusing you right now? Drop it #LearnInPublic #BackendDev #NodeJS

Day 6: Express middleware finally clicked for me this morning ☕ I used to think it was complicated magic… Middleware is just a function that runs **between** the incoming request and your route handler. It gets `req`, `res`, and `next()`. Simple example:

Why it matters: • Logging • Authentication • Parsing JSON bodies • Error handling • Protecting routesReal example – Simple auth middleware: const protect = (req, res, next) => { if (!req.user) return res.status(401).json({msg: "Unauthorized"}); next(); };

Continuing Day 6 👇 ```js app.use((req, res, next) => { console.log("Request received"); next(); // ← Must call this or app hangs 😅 });

@UX_Athena Yep, today we are productive GM

GM Another day to keep pushing 🙇🏾‍♀️

@dev_olayinka Nice

Today is a busy one I implemented features that allow admin for each branch to view the review left by users after their stay. The user will be able to leave a review after the checkout. Link to where to leave a review will be added in the checkout email notification and also on the bookings page. After leaving the review, the admin can then approve or decline the review/rating. If the review is approved, the reviews are fetched on the interface of each branch and some other important page.

What was the first thing you built as a backend developer? I’m still working on mine 🙂

@Jasper02_24 Agree

Unpopular opinion 💻🔥 Being Self-taught is Not for everyone... No mentor No structure Just you figuring everything out alone 😂 A lot of people start... but not everyone can stay consistent 👀 Agree or disagree?

@fidexcode 💯 Rightt

Right or wrong investment?

@rik22ky Totally

Can someone be addicted to coding?

@dev_maims Probably both 😹💔, but LinkedIn is more professional

Linkedin vs X, Where is the best place to build as a software engineer?

@zerothvic It'll pay off at some point Keep grinding

I'm currently giving a lot, sacrificing a lot, and pouring out a lot. Crossing over from an intense self gratification season for most of my life to a cultivation season wears me out each day. Each day.

@Dev_JesseMaduka We are productive today

Good morning ☀️ up and active 🚀 this week go make sense. we move.

Day 5: How to create a basic Express server: Install express Import it Create app Add a route Listen on a port That’s your first backend server running 🚀

Hope we all got some rest today 🌚? From tomorrow no more grass to touch ooo

@Jasper02_24 Then after hours you discover the missing colon or hyphen 😹💔

Coding struggle 😅 You check your code 10times... and still don't see the error 💻😂

@zubbee_tm @Zinny_Edmund Can't share it yet I'll drop snippets on my page later though

@the___newbie @Zinny_Edmund Exactly what I was about to say 😂 Share yours: github.com/Zubbee18/Afroh…

Your first project will be nonsense. Your second too. Relax… keep going 😂
