To prevent infinite loops caused by Middleware triggering itself recursively, Next.js adds an internal header called x-middleware-subrequest to requests that are processed by Middleware. This header indicates that the request is being forwarded by Middleware itself, and when Next.js sees this header in a request, it skips re-executing the Middleware to avoid recursion.

Tomorrow, I'm planning to build the recommendation engine (just a fancy name for user recommendations 😁). If I have time, I'll also try to do some physics. A friend recommended that I implement a ray tracer, and I'm planning to give it a shot—hoping I'll have enough time! 😊

Someone said that AWS's UI is intentionally terrible so that we can't uncheck these goddamn checkboxes we get billed for. 😁

I mean, seriously, I don’t understand why it has to be this terrible. For a company valued at $1.5 trillion, is hiring some UX engineers really that big of a deal?

GCP also feels like a freaking maze. At this point, I’m guessing it’s just the industry standard.

@selfmadecoder

Something cool 🔥🤌

Couldn't make it guys 🤦‍♂

I'm now implementing the project feature in #Nerd_Space You can create a project, share progress updates and milestones, and invite people to join your team. You'll also be able to track metrics, such as how many people are visiting your project page.

I'm also planning a Product Hunt-style feature where users can follow projects, see updates, give reviews, and get notified on the project progress.
