Hello, I'm Benjamin 👋

A curious software engineer based in Skopje, North Macedonia, solving engineering problems, building products people use, and sharing what I learn along the way.

Vite Refuses a CSS Import from `node_modules` with "does not exist under root" During Build

A production build can fail when a stylesheet import points outside Vite’s project root or references an unsupported path.
Docker Cannot Reach Postgres on localhost Because the App Container Resolves Its Own Loopback Interface

A containerized app fails to connect to `localhost` because `127.0.0.1` points at the container, not the database host.
Nuxt Ignores a Client-Only Widget During Static Generation Because the Page Was Rendered at Build Time

A widget that depends on browser APIs disappears or fails when Nuxt prerenders the page as static HTML.
Hono Loses Session Cookies on Cross-Origin Requests Because `fetch` Never Sends Credentials

Cookie-based auth fails when browser requests omit credentials or the response omits the correct CORS cookie headers.
Express Rejects Stripe Webhooks with a Signature Mismatch When JSON Middleware Consumes the Raw Body

Stripe signature verification fails when Express parses the request body before you compute the webhook HMAC.
React Native Android Fails with "Unable to resolve module" After a Native Package Is Added to the Bundle

A release build can fail when Metro cannot bundle a dependency that imports Node or unlinked native code.
SvelteKit Breaks Prerender with "window is not defined" When a Server File Imports Browser Code

Prerendered SvelteKit pages crash when server-side code pulls in a browser-only module that touches `window` during build.
Nginx Proxies a WebSocket Endpoint but the Client Fails the Upgrade with `400 Bad Request`

Fix WebSocket proxying by forwarding the upgrade headers and using the right HTTP version.
Docker Compose Starts an API Before Postgres Is Ready and the App Logs `ECONNREFUSED`

Use health checks and dependency conditions so Compose waits for Postgres instead of starting the app too early.
Node Imports a Local ESM File as `[ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]` Because the Path Is Not a File URL

Fix local ESM imports in Node when relative paths or missing extensions stop module resolution.
