NBA: Where are we?!

Well, this season has been a rollercoaster so far.

  • West is being dominated by the youth, with teams like OKC, Grizzlies, Rockets and Mavs leading the conference,
  • Trailing them are the Warriors and Nuggets. Both teams are playing well, but they struggle at times with being too dependent on their stars (SC, Jokic).
  • On the top of the East, we have Cavs, Celtics, Magic and Knicks. All the teams are well balanced with multiple players contributing to their success.
  • Heat and Bucks are trying to keep up, but I’m not sure they have enough of talent to put up a fight against top teams.

Those are top 6 teams in each conference right now. With the trade deadline approaching, I’m pretty sure there’s going to be some movement especially in the middle teams who are trying to make a push for the playoffs.

NBA season is back!

Who knows me, knows I love basketball. And the NBA season is back! 🏀 It’s been already a few days since the season started and I’m excited to see how the teams will perform this year.

From what I’ve seen so far:

  • The Lakers are looking like a completely different team (especially on offense) with JJ Redick as their new HC.
  • Golden State Warriors have a deep roster and might surprise a lot of people who counted them out.
  • Celtics, Mavericks, Wolves OKC and Cavaliers are probably top 5 teams in the league right now.
  • Youth is knocking on the door: Magic and Rockets are much better this year and might stir the pot in their respective conferences.
  • Bucks will continue to suck with Doc Rivers as their HC. I’m sorry, but it’s true.
  • 76ers are a mess with all the injuries, but if they get healthy they might have some good runs this season.

Let’s see what the season brings us! 🏀🔥

Next.js & Netlify combo kinda sucks 🤷‍♂️

So, I’ve been using Next.js for a while now and I always liked Netlify more than Vercel (It’s a preference thing, I guess). But, keeping the site up-to-date with the latest Next.js versions is becoming quite uncomfortable with Netlify.

There’s some things to complain about. But there’s also one big positive I would like to mention, an initiative that makes it possible for me (and many more) to use my go to tools together, OpenNext. Their adapter for Netlify (now maintained by Netlify team) is working great, although I’m not a fan of .html copy of the forms required for Netlify to pick up the forms you might have on your site (required if you use Netlify forms). I am really grateful for all the work done to keep Next.js open to different options than Vercel.

Cool css one liner

To keep it short. Here it is:


width: min(100%, [<max-width>]);

It make’s use of css min() function to set the width of the element to 100% of the parent, but not exceeding the specified max-width. All in a single, readable line.

Bonus! But what about margins (or centering the element), here’s the modified version:

width: min(100% - (2 *[<smaller-devices-inline-margin>]), [<max-width>]);
margin-inline: auto;

Web archive is down

Well, as you may already know, web.archive.org is down and under hacker(s) attack. It’s a bummer, as it is one of the most important websites to ever exist and there’s literally no point in attacking something that useful.

Hope to see them back online soon.

Bye bye .io (maybe)

It looks like in the coming years domains using .io might disappear, that’s a shame as it is one of the most used in the tech industry… I guess, you’re going to need a new TLD for next billion dollar idea.
