https://www.priyam.tech/blog Thoughts on web development, engineering, and the journey of building things by Gyanranjan Priyam. en-us Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:30:25 GMT https://www.priyam.tech/blog/the-tools-i-actually-use-to-build-production-level-websites A practical, experience-driven breakdown of the tools I rely on to build real-world websites that don’t break in production—and why simplicity beats trends every time.

Attendance shortages, mid-sem panic, and a side project that refuses to compile. If you are a student who also builds things — especially from a non-CSE branch — you already know this life. This is the honest, unfiltered story of what it actually feels like to carry both worlds at once, and why that struggle quietly makes you better than you realise.

Then the welcome email arrived. This is the honest, unfiltered story of how I became a GFG Campus Mantri—and what the whole experience quietly taught me about showing up even when you are not sure you are ready.

This is the story of how curiosity slowly turned into passion.

That power is exactly why the security surface area has expanded. In December 2025, the React team (and vendors like Vercel) highlighted two follow-on vulnerabilities affecting React Server Components packages and the frameworks that ship them: CVE-2025-55184 (pre-auth DoS) and CVE-2025-55183 (source code exposure in specific configurations). This post breaks down what these CVEs mean in practical terms, what “affected” really looks like in a modern Next.js or RSC setup, and how to reduce risk quickly without turning your incident response into a week-long refactor.

Choosing the right approach improves performance, security, and user experience in modern web applications.
