Hello world! Hello Heckers! 🌎👽

Meet the author 👋

You may be wondering what the heck is Heckerspace? 🦝 Who's the creator of this beauty? 🦋 What type of content you'll find here? 🗞️ Allow me to provide the answers. 🤓

I'm Lukas and I am a software engineer Hecker ✨ who has a slight obsession about simplicity, performance, and code cleanliness. I primarily work with Next.JS and Typescript but aside from React I enjoy playing with other cool kids such as Vue, Svelte or Astro. I love good design, 3D 🌐 , and smooth animations. ( Looking at you ThreeJS, ReactThreeFiber, Framer Motion 👀 )
I am currently working at LePolishBureau, a UNIT9 company.

I strive to find a balance between creating visually appealing experiences, like those found on Awwwards while keeping things simple, like the Giga Chad from the MotherFuckingWebsite.com 🦄

How it all began 🐥

I actually never thought I'd be writing this blog post, but well, here I am 🙆.

This whole idea to build Heckerspace started during my trip to Greece 🏝️, right after a successful website launch at work 🚀. Aside from typical holiday stuff I brought along a notebook 📒, pen, and a copy of "You Don't Know JS" 📚🎒

Why? I simply enjoy the learning process and I knew that soon after my holidays I'd be leading of a whole dev team for Amazon project, so I was hyper-motivated to level up my game 🆙 . The goal was to learn the fundamentals inside out, so I can explain them with ease to anyone, anywhere, anytime 👨‍🏫💃.

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
~ Albert Einstein 🧠

Shaping the idea 💡

Fine, I'm on a holidays 🍹, and I'm ready to rest learn🔮. Where to start? maybe with my copy of YDKJS? Nope. Let's start from the basics: HTML, Semantics, and Accessibility ♿ ~ Started from the bottom - Drake 🎶

I thought that I already knew "everything" 🤣 that I needed but oh boi, I have learned a ton! 🤓 I thought to myself that those "boring" but crucial fundamental topics are quite often overlooked even by experienced developers. Why not write an article about it? 💡 I could combine my learning process with sharing my insights with the community. Perfect! 🎉

What kind of content you'll find here? 📚

I'm constantly learning something new and while I'm at it, I'll share some juicy bits with you too 🧃. Expect tips, tricks, small projects. I'll also write comparative analysis of different frameworks, libraries, and solutions in general. Basically, I'm gonna share all the stuff I wish I knew when I was first starting out.

Wish me luck, and let's code heck! 🪄
