All kinds of ideas and guides on modern development tools. Every time I manage to particular problems, I like to share it here in case it can help other. Sometimes I sometime also share stuff and setup guide so I can find it later if I need it.
In 2019, I tried to get this very blog to be deployed automatically to the production server after each push to the corresponding GitHub repo. A couple of issues were found and after much frustration, the whole idea was scrapped. Fast forward many months later, and with new experience acquired and new tools available since, it was time to try again.
