    Oh man, I do NOT miss troubleshooting Nest dependencies. We used it at my last job and it was like black magic, which was nice when it worked, but dear god when it didn’t…debugging Nest specifically is like its own skill set you could put on your resume. Watching you go through that import/constructor debug flow gave me PTSD. I feel like with a little more tooling or something, Nest could be amazing. But it needs to be better at helping the dev debug why something is just no-oping.
    Loving the journey btw!

    The way you solve problems. The way you hypothesize before testing that it's going to work, and the way you laugh from the fact that you're wrong. I swear, that's me every time I try to fix a bug AHHAHHHAHA

    Another awesome vlog! I’ve been in many different parts of the IT field for 10+ years and working to become a software developer. I can 100% agree that documentation is so important. These vlogs are a great starting point for that. It’s always great to have a reference on what was done, why and what mindset you had at the time. Looking forward to the next vlog!

    Not sure if you're already doing Domain Driven Design, but if you aren't you should. Given that some many people are coming up with things to add this would be the perfect instance to convert the code to a more flexible model especially is you plan to scale the services you use. I think that would be step 1 and then step 2 would be breaking those different domains into micro-services where it makes sense and when the timing is right. A domain for the core app (subbb), domain for payments, a domain for external services (discord, what's app, slack, etc.). Keep up the great work!

    I'm a pentester by day and all the websocket integrations I've ever tested were always buggy and in most cases allowed the entire application to be compromised. Let me know if you are looking for help from a cybersecurity standpoint whether it be a blackbox testing, AWS config review, or secure code review type vibes.
    Overall, rooting for subb 🔥🔥

      @@JacobSucksAtCode Using any software other than the official application is a violation of WhatsApp's policies. In April, WhatsApp banned 7.1 million accounts in India alone. While they may have already detected your unofficial client, they may allow its use for at least four months. However, once your client gains traction, they will likely ban your unofficial client, along with all associated IPs, and potentially some of your customers. In such a scenario, your customers may be upset as they will lose their audience. Unfortunately, there is no alternative solution as your use case is not supported by the official WhatsApp APIs. feel free to reach out if you need more info.

    Is what you do there with Whatsapp Legal/Approved by whatsapp? I guess you make a connection using a controllable browser like chromium(with libraries like puppeeter) that you keep opened in the background on your servers. The user by scanning the QR code gives you full access to his whatsapp account. With that you can manage many instances and do your things. That's also quite error prone and unstable. Wouldn't it be easier to use the Whatsapp Business API?
