You might have to use strength on him.

>> [laughter]

>> Physical force.

Putting his backpack and put a jacket.

Feel like I'm a bad parent for letting

him watch so much TV.

>> [laughter]

>> And just in the morning?

Is there anything you said you were like

I'm not going to do this when I'm a

parent. My kids never going to do this.

>> Watch TV.

>> [laughter]

>> No, okay. So, what happened

I didn't let him watch TV, right? And

then like

my wife

I don't want to blame it on my wife, but

My wife took him to her friend's house

one day.

And then all of a sudden they came back

and they have a son, too.

And all of a sudden they came back and

he wanted to watch TV all the time.

That's how quickly the switch happened?

Yeah.

Maybe not, but

maybe I let it happen.

You don't got what this morning? Like a

schedule?

I don't have a meeting to schedule, so

we don't have to do anything.

I know we're going to get

Try

Yeah, okay. I got you.

How do you turn this around for selfie?

Uh there's like a a button [music]

uh on the screen like on the top right

corner.

Oh [ __ ] damn I'm so tired, bro.

You know what? It's all good.

So, let's get some coffee.

Or let's get some coffee. Let's do it.

Yeah.

You want a hot one or a cold one? Uh

let's go cold. We're going to try this

cold.

I was thinking cold.

The best coffee machine

See, I'm I'm not I'm not a balanced

dude.

>> [laughter]

>> Not firing on all cylinders? Yeah.

>> [snorts]

>> Yeah, but uh

a lot of shit's been happening, you

know? We've been um

going through a lot, you know?

A lot of changes, especially for um

something's going on with Mini right

now. I think he's out of commission for

like a week or something.

He'll be back. We'll uh

we'll announce something soon, but um

just having some um issues.

And but you know, we're getting back on

the bike. We're going to

forge forward no matter what. Just like

anything, you know?

Keep this channel alive.

But um Mini will be here in a couple of

days.

But um he's going through something a

little bit sad, but it's okay.

We'll we'll make it through.

There's so many unexpected life that

happens all the time, unexpected things

in life, and uh

>> [snorts]

>> I mean

I'm happy we had the channel to like

help him, you know?

Uh

and like financially or whatever he

needs, like we're here.

And uh

he'll get through it. And um it's good

to always like, you know

be working

you know, have you know, everything

there's so many things that happen in

life like unexpected like

family member

your kids braces I don't know, you know,

[laughter] like

you always have to have like some money

set aside to

help out with situations. And the only

way to do that is to like

work.

But

there's so much [ __ ] that happens.

Is that your uh push for everyone having

a emergency fund? Yeah.

>> [laughter]

>> Within that year or 2 years

like what have you seen as far as the

mentees coming in with like with AI

skill set They're amazing. Like I'm

learning things as well, you know? Like

this whole thing about like using tokens

and all this kind of [ __ ] is like

different, you know, like coding is not

a free thing anymore.

>> [laughter]

>> It's like

I pay money for these API keys or these

call calls and [ __ ] It's like

it's weird like

cuz I always thought, right? Like code

like especially like iOS development or

like React Native development

you have to be like a first world

country to like do this stuff because

what I always think about coding is like

you're solving first world problems.

And um

like you need a MacBook to work on iOS

stuff, right? So

that cuts like your competition in half

or some [ __ ] right? Now coding is like

I have to have like $100 of credits in

GPT or Claude or Opus or whatever

to start programming. And it's like

that cuts your competition as well. You

know what I mean?

Like sure there are free programs and

stuff, but it's

it's not a free thing. And you need

money to do anything in life nowadays.

And to get that money you got to work

and you got to keep it moving, you know?

Like

you know

hopefully the company pays for it for

you, but maybe if not you got to

realize how to do this. And look at this

[ __ ] [ __ ] He parked right in

front of my car.

>> [laughter]

>> What would you say like to somebody who

is

getting into it? Like does it change

your like approach or would you say like

hey you need to have some money for

these tokens or

>> No, no. I think what we what we can

provide is the free [ __ ] like what you

like understanding the free part of it,

right? Understanding the basics,

understanding what you need to actually

know to use those tokens.

Cuz once you if you just hop straight

into like using tokens and stuff

sure you learn how to build things but

you don't understand how it works. And

understanding how it works is the most

important part about building anything,

you know?

Like

you spend more time on the last 1% than

the 99%. Everybody's going to tell you

that in coding, right?

And um

the last 5%

is the hardest part and that's when

people quit. And but that's what makes a

product deployable or not deployable.

You know what I'm saying? So

uh sure you could scaffold the whole

project, but actually understanding the

code and finding where the bugs are and

finding the right questions to ask is

where I will come in and help you in

that direction.

Anyways, my name is Phil.

I wrote my first line of code after the

age of 30.

If you have any comment about how you

code nowadays, please let me know in the

comments. I'll respond to every one of

them. Like, comment, share, really helps

the algorithm. Subscribe if you haven't

already.

And just remember, if I can do it, you

can do it, too. Coding saves lives.

I've been pretty impressed with the

people

building some things in the walk lab

just to see what they come up with at

that like just

creating something only after watching

your videos.

>> [laughter]

>> Hopefully it's not just a bunch of AIs

lobbed, though.

I saw this as a green arrow.

So, I thought we could just turn and

then make the U-turn like this.

For the bus?

Right when I got in here it turned red,

bro. If you got an email from such and

such AI

says hey we want

to sponsor your videos. Who do you Who

would you

want it to be?

From what you've seen out there?

Nobody. Nobody? Yeah.

I mean I don't know. Like we we get a

bunch, you know what I mean?

But

we don't need sponsors. This is DIY

[ __ ] dude.

We're the punk rock of

[ __ ] coding, man.

This is DI- DIY as hell, man.

>> [laughter]

>> Do you know when you buy like a new

MacBook or use a new service and and

then

you like agree like hey or like it's

like optional

would you like to share analytics with

this Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly what

you're saying. And everybody does it for

free, right?

I don't click I don't click I don't

click that check mark, right? Because

I'm like it's my data, you

>> [laughter]

>> But like people like that's free sausage

you're giving to that company.

You know what I'm saying?

Like that's just your it's optional, but

you're like hey no I'm you can you can

use this data. And then if you read that

term it's probably like

bro we get to hack your computer and

take all your [ __ ] you know?

>> [laughter]

>> But um

what if like we

had a service where instead of agreeing

to share the data for free

you

can click and then you can uh share the

data with us

and then we process that data

of the analytics of like when the

MacBook crashes or blah blah blah blah

and um

and then you you compile like this big

list of data and then you're like and

then you go to a company and you're like

yeah, these [ __ ] didn't agree

to give the data to you, but they agreed

to give it to us.

And we'll sell it [laughter] to you.

And then and then you give the money

back to the people, but you keep you

keep some of it, right?

So uh But

I mean this would be a crazy idea, but I

think this would solve a lot of the uh

issues of like people just

being blind giving free data to these

big

tech companies.

I don't It reminds me It reminds me of

like uh

conglom- not conglomerate, but

think about with the

like the mod community for a game. Yeah.

>> Like

the latest

uh Oblivion game comes out or whatever

it is. Yeah.

And it's full of bugs.

And people start fixing it. And then

once

they just got the company just got to

log on and be like, "Oh,

this guy who's really passionate about

our company Yeah. fixed this bug for us.

And now we get to take it and say it's

ours.

Or make that that fix. Yeah. So

I think this could be a

I It would It would take a lot of

planning and thinking on how to do it

and see the legality of it.

But it could actually be like

a unicorn company, I think.

I thought about this idea like so long

ago.

I was saying like there's another idea

that I had like um

especially in Korea, like do you know

like every single store has their own

point system?

Mhm. What if you put that in like some

kind of blockchain where all the marts

are like

together?

And you can use points at every single

mart within your blockchain or whatever.

Oh, I see. So like

you know, like uh

you know, like cuz there's so many

independent markets in Korea.

And you know, like if you move, you

don't get to use those points. You know

what I mean? Hey, Robert.

Yeah, how are you? I know that

>> different.

>> I know that WordPress comes in like uh

you know, like the source code and

WordPress comes with a lot of

extensions. And I know a lot of the good

WordPress developers, they just remove

all the all the extensions they don't

need and then they speed it up, right?

Um

building out like the web page and

everything. But of course, I still want

to Yeah. Where Where

>> coding and everything. Where are you

deploying your playing around with your

WordPress right now? Uh it's all

Hostinger. So that's the uh

>> Hostinger? Okay. Yeah. I've definitely

They're like a Lithuanian company or

something. They've definitely emailed us

like plenty of times to like

collab. Maybe we should. But uh Uh maybe

should. Yeah.

Um

I always use uh That's funny.

For WordPress

I always use um AWS and uh Lightsail.

Cuz they have like a distribution. It's

super easy. You just It's just a couple

clicks and you get a WordPress set up.

And then um

uh it's really easy to navigate in the

uh Lightsail uh

shell. So

um

>> Okay. What would you like to do today?

We can work on the stock project or we

can work on um optimizing the WordPress

stuff cuz I think that'll take like 5

seconds as well. Like it's just a simple

Google search and then you just remove

some um

uh plugins. And then maybe we can check

this load time and things like that.

Mhm.

Maybe let's save that for a different

time. Okay. Uh and then we can work on

the stocks. I I really haven't touched

the stock stuff in a in a minute to be

honest with you. No problem. Uh so

but Uh I always like doing that. Okay,

let's get back into the flow of it, you

know. Um can you send me your Trello

board by chance? I think I can find it

here, actually. Hold on.

Let me find it.

Yeah, absolutely. I think I have it here

as well if you don't have it.

I think I just got it.

I have to sign in. Give me just a

moment. M vars equals M config on

process M.

Okay.

And then

on the Mongoose file because you already

made the config file, maybe you should

just import the config file.

And not use process.m. You know what I

mean?

So Um you know, like instead of using

process.m MongoDB URI, you created that

M config file [clears throat] for a

reason.

So I see. Yeah, so just import the M

config file from there.

Import M from or whatever you call it.

Uh let me see your uh let me see the

file again, please.

Uh

Okay, but let me see the file.

Uh

validate M.

Return

catch

Okay.

Let me

I guess you can just export the validate

M here.

It's a function. Mhm.

Where do we use this? Yeah. Wait, where

did we use

>> I think

this one was from the There was a Medium

article.

>> Ah, I see. Um And this was utilizing

Zod. Okay. Okay.

>> And so I think I Yeah, I think this is

some sort of like Can you Can you send

send send me a live share real quick?

Yeah, absolutely.

>> So on the bottom left corner, there's a

live share button where you can um

uh bottom left corner.

Oh, there it is.

Thank you.

I'm just going to set up the config of

how I usually do it and it's probably

going to make more sense cuz you don't

really need to Zod error your config

file, I think. My opinion.

Like

That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Yeah.

It seems uh

It seems over over engineered.

>> Unnecessary. Yeah. Cuz

>> Yeah. You're the one controlling your

config file, right? Like you don't

really need And everything that comes in

the config is like a string anyways. Cuz

I know you have the [ __ ] We'll call it

[ __ ] URI.

It's going to be a string. Um

node M string and the port will be a

number.

Okay.

And then we'll just Mhm. Uh

const config

It's going to

be an I config.

And then um

sure and sure.

Cool.

It's going to be a number.

Uh

Saying this template data has no effect

in

Mongoose V6 and later. Okay, I thought

use unified topology was like necessary,

but I guess it's not anymore.

Interesting. Um

I guess

I'm old.

All right, let's just try this then. And

then we'll do a

.catch

um

Let me just do a console.error

and then .finally.

We'll just do a

All right.

It should look nice.

Um

Are you using async await in all your

code, right?

For the most part, I believe I am. Okay.

Um

But

do you Is there like uh I just like

>> No, I just like to

>> consistency.

So I like to put a line break between my

third-party libraries and my own

libraries. And then now we need to

create some functions, right?

Um

>> Mhm. Do you [clears throat] want to make

it a class or uh um

or do you just want to make functions?

It's up to you.

Uh for this one

we can we can make functions.

[clears throat]

Okay.

>> That's totally That's totally valid.

So the first thing you're going to need

to do is like create access token, I

think.

So

>> I I should ask though, is there like uh

besides the reason you you mentioned

earlier on like learning poly and stuff

like that. Is there like a reason to go

with classes in that route?

I think It's like the biggest thing

about OOP and all that [ __ ] all that

stuff is just like organization,

I think.

Cuz it just like it groups your code

together. You know what I mean? Like

like then like later on when you're like

organizing your code, oh, that's like a

JSON JSON web token type of thing. Let's

add that to that class.

Or like you go back to your config. Oh,

that sounds like a configuration kind of

thing. Like that So you don't have like

these hanging functions all the time,

whatever. But

doesn't really matter in JavaScript that

much, but I mean It's It's just for

organization, to be honest.

Got it.

Okay.

Um We can do functions. Okay. So the

first thing the function that you're

going to need to do is like create

access token.

And I think your spaces are at four and

mine are at two.

Uh we do need an ESLint or later for

like to keep our code in sync.

I think they're using the module later

on, but we'll we'll It's not a big deal

right now cuz we're only two people.

But um Mhm. All right. [clears throat]

Anyways, you have to pass a payload as

the first argument.

The first parameter.

And that's always going to be an object.

So colon object uh lowercase object.

I think lowercase. Okay.

And then that's the only parameter that

you need to send.

And then And then what you're going to

do is you're going to get your secret

from config from the config. So let's

just say like config secret equals

config.token secret.

Uh I would say like const secret equals

config.

secret.

Um

token secret?

Yeah.

Uh can we just call this secret cuz it's

not like a config secret? It's like the

secret.

It'll be okay?

>> Yeah, absolutely. All right. All right.

Um

and then what you need to do is uh

you're going to need to sign the JWT

with the payload. So you could just like

return

uh

JWT

sign

Yeah, like

uh

um

JWT sign and then it takes the payload

as the first uh so if you hover over

uh it expects two to three two to four

arguments, right? All right, cool man.

Robert, thanks for your time and all

that.

>> Yeah. I'll see you very soon. All right.

Just uh you know,

book with me more cuz I think I told you

like oh, just uh talk to me in DMs and

let's uh let's book calls like there,

but I think doing it through the

Calendly is a lot better because

actually I'm getting really busy

recently. So actually getting

>> Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Um I'll book

through the Calendly then. Okay, like

anytime if you see an opening, it's

always a pleasure for me to meet up with

you. All right. All right. All right,

I'll see you in the next one. All right,

later

on Robert. Bye.

See you. Take care.
