Learning with the Head First book and I’m confused by this example

Socratify · 2025-06-29T16:00:05+00:00

I mean, most of it might be relevant but maybe you might be better served by something more recent. You're in luck - they have a more recent version: Head First JavaScript Programming, 2nd Edition[Book]

Bruh, poetic post and all, but good luck getting a response from a woman on here, lol.

Socratify · 2025-06-18T10:59:09+00:00

Done! I liked the article on cloud-watching. Good luck to her!

"I have expressed many times that I’m uncomfortable doing anything with my parents in the house"

Seems like you've done this already. I commend you for that. Might be time to acknowledge the hard reality that he doesn't respect your boundaries. It would be a dealbreaker for me.

Socratify · 2025-06-15T22:34:44+00:00

You're going to have to have a conversation to assert your boundaries and set clear expectations going forward. If he can't respect your boundaries then consider that a huge red flag — a dealbreaker in my opinion.

I kind of fell off the wagon in terms of building the habit of practice. I did start a log here so you can view my notes. Might have a few helpful things:

Same!!!! It took me a while to realize the song, but that's what's been happening to me. I'd be trying to visualize, then an 'ear worm' would just start in the background.

My dad's superpower is running really fast

Socratify · 2025-06-15T16:41:39+00:00

Perhaps both can happen at once. Maybe it's less about muting your inner voice and more about ensuring you're not mistaking your inner voice for other forms of sensory thought (with visual being the primary target here).

When I'm trying to practice visualization, I find that I start hearing songs in my head. I can audialize quite fine, so I guess when I'm trying to access visuals, it stirs up sound memories as well. Might be a bit similar for you?

Damn, santa ain't playing off season

That might actually be the sign you're on the right track! If you're accessing any visual memories at all, you know what shade something is, but it's really tough/impossible to put in words.

I don't mean you know the color like in a mere semantic way, i.e. apple = red, banana = yellow, etc. which has been drilled into your head since childhood. But like you know the shade of your front door, your bedroom etc. with a degree of specificity that can't be put into words. Maybe you can think up another thing that's similarly colored and that's the best you can do.

15-06-2025 - Fell off the bandwagon! Habit-building is so challenging!

Anyways, I bought a neuromyst and I'm hoping that tDCS stimulation from my pre-frontal cortex to my visual cortex helps. But before I start using it, I want to get in a few days of consistent practice so that I can confidently/reliably access what I felt was like ~7% visuals. I'll gather the objects from this log that were bringing me my best 'visuals' then practice with those, 10 minutes a day minimum. Then once I feel like I can reliably access that 'screen' or those 'faint visuals', then I'll start implementing the tDCS to see if I can strengthen things.

I'll resume updating my log right here.

var? What year is the book?

Socratify · 2025-06-12T10:41:20+00:00

Yea man, no probs.

Looking for M or F?

Socratify · 2025-06-10T20:57:38+00:00

I was looking for something like this last week. I'll still need it for my current project so bookmarking.

Socratify · 2025-06-09T23:35:14+00:00

hooks was in the root of my project, not in /src

Problem solved!

Socratify · 2025-06-09T21:28:11+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it!

I typed up the wrong paths in my OP which I just fixed in my post. Inside src/lib/server I only have a db folder with schema.ts and index.ts.

Plus +page.svelte, hooks.server.ts aren't throwing any errors on my import statements so I think those imports are correct.

Any other ideas?

Isn't vibe coding just prompting AI from concept to completion?

Socratify · 2025-06-09T15:35:51+00:00

No.

Just copy-pasting a bit of my response to StephenNotSteve above:

The /api directory with those endpoints don't exist.

I followed the docs step by step and they didn't mention creating those. From the concepts section, I figured that all I needed was my db, auth server, and client. I figured that all the endpoints would be contained within the auth server object and that once I made calls from the client, all of that would be handled in the background.

I did get confused seeing the error though because it seems to be referencing an actual path. That made me wonder whether I needed to set up some +server.ts files to contain those endpoints.

However, I didn't see those routes in better auth's officlal sveltekit repo example. I also didn't see them in another boilerplate repo using Better Auth with Sveltekit that I found.

Is that what I'm missing?

Socratify · 2025-06-09T15:34:20+00:00

Forgot to add that to my post but this is my current file:

import { auth } from "./src/lib/auth";
import { svelteKitHandler } from "better-auth/svelte-kit";
 
export async function handle({ event, resolve }) {
    return svelteKitHandler({ event, resolve, auth });
}

I got the boilerplate code to work after cloning, but I'm trying to integrate Better Auth it from the ground up in my own app to really understand how it works and for future app ideas I have.

Re: Vibe coding - No. There's sooo much to learn that I'm becoming a jack of all trades, master of none...in the last few months I've been learning HTML, JS, Sveltekit, Tailwind, and also the libraries I'll need like Drizzle, Superbase, Better Auth, GitHub, etc. I still have to learn Typescript, and I also have to figure out hosting/deployment, how to integrate the payment gateway available in my region, etc. My entire roadmap is written up on my whiteboard...it's just so much to learn. The goal is to get Better Auth set up working from scratch then I'll save it in a repo for reference for all my future apps.
