Welcome y'all to your new favorite corner of the internet, my unhinged thoughts during the making of this website, or what I like to call 'Webdev Diaries.' It's 2:36AM and I've been doing this for about 12 hours now but I finally finished the main functionality and most of the polish for the page you're on now. Despite how long it took, working on this page actually gave me a lot of confidence for how the rest of this process will go. Believe it or not, I had originally planned for the site to go live around the beginning of the Fall but it kept getting bigger and bigger and with school and running on top of it, I had to push it back. Hopefully you're as impressed with the final result as I hope to be! Anyways, have you checked out ChatGPT yet? This part of the blog will probably be a bit outdated by the time you see this but it's incredible what it can do. I'm mostly impressed by how well it can write and understand code. I actually asked it for help one of the times I was stuck making this page and it showed me how to do exactly what I was trying to and even gave examples. I'll leave a link to it here so you can see for yourself and this is also my first time testing external links from articles so hopefully that worked. There's a lot of work to do tomorrow so I should probably get some sleep so thank you for tuning in to the first ever (weekly?) edition of Webdev Diaries by yours truly, Volkan, and if you're reading this in the future, which you will be, let me know at practice what you think!
