Finding table that a constraint is in, based on the constraint name
To find the table that a constraint is in, you can do: SELECT * FROM all_constraints WHERE constraint_name = ‘the_constraint_name’ This is useful for finding child table(s) that have dependent […]

Regular Expressions: online utility to test them
This is a really neat site for testing regular expressions in a vacuum: http://regex101.com/ I’ve used it a few times now to test the expression before implementing in code.
JEST tests fail on React components as pure functions
After updating to a newer lint rule set, we converted some components into pure functions. This made the linting happy, but broke the JEST unit tests. I did some debugging […]
Useless constructors
This was a simple fix, but something that I had a lot of due to making a baseline template with most of the life cycle functions defined as empty functions. […]
Importance of indention in code
Regardless of the language, formatting can be important. Sometimes it’s an OCD thing… sometimes it’s not. Some languages even control flow based on formatting alone! I recently spent about half […]
