Okay, so today I messed around with “brandon eisert.” I’d heard the name before, seemed like some kind of developer, maybe a tool or something, wasn’t totally sure. Figured I’d dig in and see what it was all about.
First, I Googled it. Just typed in “brandon eisert” and hit enter. Saw a bunch of stuff – a GitHub profile, some blog posts, maybe a LinkedIn. It looked like this guy, Brandon, is a software developer, mostly into front-end stuff, JavaScript, that kind of thing.
Digging Through the GitHub
I clicked on the GitHub link first. That’s usually where the good stuff is, right? You get to see the actual code people have written. His profile had a bunch of repositories. I didn’t know what half of them were, to be honest. Lots of names with “react” and “js” in them. I picked one that sounded kinda interesting – something about a “boilerplate” project.
- I browsed through the code.
- I Checked out the `README` file. That usually tells you what the project is and how to use it.
- I looked at some of the JavaScript files.
It looked pretty complex, at least to me. Lots of stuff about setting up a development environment, using different tools like Webpack and Babel. I’m not really a front-end guy, so a lot of it went over my head. But it was cool to see how someone else structures their projects.
Checking Out the Blog
Next, I headed over to what looked like his personal blog. It had some articles on web development, some tutorials, that sort of thing. I skimmed a few of the titles. One was about “React Hooks,” another was about “CSS Grid.”
I read through the React Hooks one, just to see if I could pick up anything new. It was pretty well-written, easy to follow. He explained things clearly, with examples and code snippets. I didn’t try to actually do anything with it, just wanted to get a feel for his writing style and how he explains technical concepts.
The Takeaway (For Now)
So, after spending a couple of hours poking around, what did I learn about “brandon eisert”? Well, he seems like a solid front-end developer. He’s got a good grasp of JavaScript and React, and he’s able to explain things in a way that’s relatively easy to understand. I didn’t actually build anything using his code or follow any of his tutorials step-by-step, but I got a good sense of his work. Maybe later I’ll try to actually implement something from one of his projects, but for now, I’m just happy I explored a bit and learned something new.
