Episode notes

90 should never rely on console logging client side or user side to be a you know, a debugging tool in terms of like production or error finding. But yeah, server side logs absolutely. That's a great use for servers services that we use all the time. And this is a perfect segue into a sponsor of ours, which is century.io. When something goes wrong in your application, hopefully you've written some sort of code to catch that error. You can go ahead and send that information right to century along with anything that you might think would be useful for century to have,. So that way, you can get every single time your application is hit a state of error.

In this Potluck episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott answer your questions about meeting IRL, bookmarks, SSG vs SSR, domain privacy, deploying monorepos, and more.
