Understanding Objects in JavaScript

Some time ago when I was learning JavaScript coming from Object Oriented Programming using Strongly Typed Languages, I wrote some notes, in order to understand how objects work in JavaScript, I saw most of these notes on some videos and lectures. Well, here they are:

Reference Type

Number, boolean, string, null, undefined, are defined by the language, so they are Primitive Types.

Understanding Asynchronous Coding

Synchronous VS Asynchronous

Synchronous code is executed line by line.
Asynchronous means that things can happen independently of the main program flow.

Callbacks are very important pattern for achieving asynchronous code.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Synchronous Code: Advantages

Easy to write and reason about

Disadvantages

May create blocking code
Less performant

Asynchronous Code:

Advantages

Very performant
Eliminates code blocking

Disadvantages

It can be difficult to reason about
Hader to write

Understanding the Event Loop

Six Seconds: How to Write a Resume

I used to think resume building was a “brute force” problem — the more information I crammed in, the better. I was wrong. In reality, you don’t get an interview by showing everything you’ve ever done; you get an interview by proving you are the Subject Matter Expert for one specific role.

So I started researching “How to write a good resume”, I’ve read some books, I’ve also seen tutorials and there are even complete courses on how to impress recruiters and their ATS.

Hello World: Why I finally started this blog

One day, while eating burgers with friends, the conversation drifted toward technology (it happens more often than we admit!). I met someone who was struggling to learn design patterns. I tried explaining one in just a few minutes—I’ve always loved seeing the world through an object-oriented lens and finding ways to simplify complex topics.

When she asked if I had a post she could read, all I had was an old PowerPoint presentation.

Hey, hey! I’m Alison — but you can call me Aly.

I’m a software engineer, caffeine enthusiast, and occasional wearer of mismatched socks. When I’m not diving headfirst into lines of code, you can probably find me trying to convince my cat that she really does want to learn JavaScript (spoiler alert: she’s still not convinced).

This blog is my personal sandbox where I document that process—whether I’m untangling a complex algorithm, sketching out architectural blueprints, or just sharing a tutorial on something that finally “clicked” for me.
