I'm working on a platform to generate simple CRUD APIs from JSON schemas: https://stackprint.io

I noticed that while working on past side projects I spent a lot of time writing simple CRUD APIs, permission checks, client code to connect and model classes which (at least for me) is usually not the most fun part when working on new app idea ;) So I started creating a concept to automate most of that for future projects and developed a simple web platform around it.

During the quarantine I've been mostly working on a set of permission rules to control access to API resources. I also started on generating client code which at least works for Angular at this point. I'm very hopeful that I can stay productive and get it to work for React/VueJS and iOS/Android as well soon :)

Dynamic Programming.

There were a lot of layoffs recently, so I wanted to do whatever I can to help my fellow engineers. I unfortunately can't help with referrals, but what I can do is share my experience and knowledge. I love Dynamic Programming and decided to record a YouTube course [1] explaining the topic as simple as possible (ELI5).

A lot of people struggle with DP and if you are one of those, feel free to subscribe. I release new videos every Sunday.

Also, since I'm not an an experienced YouTuber and English is my second language, feedback is a massive motivator for me. So, if you have any feedback to share, please, let me know what needs to be improved and I'll make sure to work on it.

I've been working on an iMessage API, Learning a ton about creating a node backend and used React for the front end. sendblue.co

is anyone else completely ok with quarantine? I'm not able to understand the need for social interaction, maybe because I'm an awkward dude.
