Day 5

May 5, 2025

Still on prototypes in javascript,

const newArray = []

newArray.__proto__.__proto__

is pretty cool but there’s no point using it beyond understanding prototypal inheritance in javascript, as accessing prototype by itself can be a pretty expensive operation.

  • Prototypes and prototypal inheritance in Javascript: Since everything in Javascript is essentially an object, (yes even functions are objects), understanding this basic yet totally overlooked behaviour in Javascript was absolutely crucial for me. Although I do not fully get it here, but hey is day 1 of Prototype indepth study
  • Played around with some blockchain technology

Worked on a couple problems in Great Frontend where I had to use

  • controlled and uncontrolled components
  • AJAX vs synchronous post submissions
