Kudos to @Alex Helm for implementing the Google OAuth authentication with Firebase. In this video I explain how the integration works with Firebase, both frontend and backend flows, user account handling, and how authentication methods are switched when users migrate from email/password to social signin.

Just completed all the remaining pages for making the app responsive for desktop as well. Recorded a short Loom about the changes here. Here are the PRs that need to be merged and they are up for review - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/fintrack/pull/53 - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/fintrack-api/pull/16 - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/docs/pull/1 You might also notice some more changes to the app. I'll talk more about these in the upcoming Sprint retro session.

Watch the video below for important updates. This week I’ve been building the Senior Dev Accelerator. It's a framework I personally used to grow into senior roles, and now I've distilled it into one place for you. Inside, you’ll find everything from my Obsidian vault: - Real interview notes from company interviews I went through - Frontend developer deep dive - Backend, and cloud topics (work in progress...) - Deep connections between concepts - Direct links to the full Udemy courses (free for all members) This will replace the old Frontend Guide and all the separate course pages. I'm looking forward to your feedback on whether this is useful or not, and whether you'd like to see the other topics covered in a structured format like this 👇

As part of our current sprint, I've integrated Jira with GitHub, which means Jira issues are now automatically linked with GitHub pull requests. Also created pull request templates that will be used to maintain high PR quality in our repositories. I explain more about each task in the videos below. Here are my PRs for review. Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions: - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-app/pull/9 - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-api/pull/4 Let's also use this as a mid-sprint check in to see where we are and if you guys have any blockers with your tasks 👇

Technical skills alone aren’t enough. Who you work with, how you position yourself, and the offers you say yes or no to all of that shapes your career just as much as your code. That's why I decided to start career advice series. This is the first of many career-focused videos I’ll be adding to the interview preparation guide — my practical insights from real experience. Most devs chase any opportunity that pays. But from my experience, low-budget clients or small companies can be way more stressful than working with well-funded startups or larger teams. In this video, I break down the key differences between high and low-paying clients and share what to look for when choosing your next job or freelance project 💬 Let’s also build this together. What career topic should I cover next? 👇
