Content warning: this article includes mentions of addition and mental health struggles. Back in January, I wrote a bit about the unhoused friends I made while handing out tents and sleeping bags before a big storm that was coming to my state. Three weeks ago, I got a text message from one of them that cops had raided their camp and taken everything they didn’t have on their backs.
I’ve hated writing JavaScript tests for pretty my whole career. That thing where you plan a component, write some code, iterate it a whole bunch until it works the way you want… and then write tests that validate that the thing you’ve already validated does in fact do the thing you already know it does? Yea, that sucks. It’s also not what good testing looks like. Today, I write my tests first, and then write my code.

Made strong progress on Google OAuth integration — implemented endpoints, guards, and JWT logic. Next step is polishing strategy injection and fully testing the auth flow.
On the mentorship side, I built out the /users endpoints:
• POST creates users with UUIDs + validation
• GET returns all stored users
