How do you typically review or test yourself?

Started doing #Leetcode Contests to gauge my progress.
Jumping in and just trying to get Q1 (Easy) done, and spend some time on Q2 (Medium).

Ecto — Phoenix v1.7.21

[2] Created schemas and migrated.

I used #ChatGPT for high level project discussion, specifically requesting not to show code. I followed the instructions here:

hexdocs.pm/phoenix/ecto...

#elixirlang #phoenixliveview #buildinpublic #elixir

[1] Repo created. Phoenix spun up. First commit.

Troubleshot some `mix` issues with both ChatGPT and google search.

I think next step is to confirm my Postgres connection works locally.

I'm going to #buildinpublic a #phoenix #elixir app.

Will try to post as I go.

I tried #vibecoding for a month or so. I don't like not knowing what each part does and just pushing send.

A different approach I'm going to try is to use Claude or ChatGippity to:

- Gather resources / docs for me
- General steps without the code

And I research and implement each line.

Has anyone tried making an #Elixir app using #Supabase #Postgres ?

Struggling with basic connection issues. About to throw my laptop out the window.

Also important to note - brand new to the entire stack. Using Claude over and over to troubleshoot. I'm not so sure Claude is helping.

Hosted on Vercel / Supabase.

Yes it is the same error on refresh.

I jumped straight from the previous step without changing any settings or the .env file. I can query on Supabase and see the data.

@nextjs.org

I'm following the Next.js tutorial. I'm through step 6 and seeded the Supabase DB (am able to /query, see user Evil Rabbit). However in step 7, when calling fetchRevenue(), I'm getting a DB connection error.

Any tips?
