I think the harder work now is choosing what is worth doing, why it matters, and which parts of a generic answer fit the real situation. https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/astro-blog-nx/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/astro-blog-nx/ Sun, 20 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT I wanted a blog I could write from my tablet, keep inside my Nx workspace, and deploy without returning to WordPress. Astro, Starlight, Codespaces, and GitHub Actions got me there. https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-5-shared-styles-in-nx-angular-libraries/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-5-shared-styles-in-nx-angular-libraries/ Tue, 14 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT Another missed day. Today I am packaging shared styles inside an Nx library, importing them into the new Angular app, and namespacing them so future libraries do not collide. https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-4-break-in-the-challenge-ng-scaffolding/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-4-break-in-the-challenge-ng-scaffolding/ Mon, 13 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT I had to take a break. After a week of late Statusbrew work, I am back on Day 4 to scaffold an Angular app and buildable Nx library for a Link in Bio project. https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-3-shared-eslint-plugin/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-3-shared-eslint-plugin/ Wed, 08 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT Today’s challenge will be a quick one. I would create and use a custom eslint-plugin in our upcoming libraries & projects. Our goal with the eslint-plugin library will be to share reusable eslint configurations. Before we generate any new library, I want to change the configuration of nx to add new libraries to the /libs https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-2-nx-monorepo/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/100daysofcode-day-2-nx-monorepo/ Tue, 07 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT It’s 23:31 at the time of starting this blog! I just returned from a Toastmasters event.

As far as I remember, the then-20s people didn’t have any urge to teach us what to do or to become an inspiration or mentor to https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/amritsar-startup-manifesto/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/amritsar-startup-manifesto/ Tue, 11 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT Guidelines for Entrepreneurship & Innovation to Unlock, Inspire and Drive Growth in Amritsar Amritsar had been a very prominent business hub up until a few decades ago. But due to the changing socio-economic environment coupled with the failure to keep up with the latest technology and skills, the city has failed to compete with the https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/co-working-in-amritsar-cases-for-and-against/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/co-working-in-amritsar-cases-for-and-against/ Tue, 04 Aug 2020 00:00:00 GMT Many times, we at Amritsar Founders are invited by Colleges and Universities to work on proposals of Incubation Centers at their respective places. It’s an audacious project, and something that can change the corporate face of our city. I wanted to talk about one of the features of Incubation Centers that is seen as a https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/levels-of-politeness/ https://rishabhmhjn.com/blog/levels-of-politeness/ Wed, 17 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT This one is also one of the many learnings from my 4 years in Japan. In Japan, it is very important to choose the right politeness level as it can make or break your relationships with your friends, clients, or your team. Keigo is crucial and particular to Japan.

It is easy to use and set up. Ghost has been our choice for our blog at Statusbrew. I used Ghost as a platform for this blog too. Ghost, however, does require a little bit of programming knowledge to get started.

There was arguably never a such instance where humanity had to collectively experience a challenge so lethal and ubiquitous in the documented history of our existence. People have been forced to stay indoors. Businesses temporarily shut down. Mass lay-offs, migration of labor. Whenever people from any part of the world come
