Thanks for hosting these weekly learning threads Nick!!!
I learned
vimtutor
race condition
pushd

popd
- reverse back through the saved directoriesdirs
- list of directoriesNice!
I learned about file permissions in Linux, what the numbers mean when using the
chmod
command, and that using the numbers is shorthand for assigning file permissions to users, groups, and others. I highly recommend this post to anyone interested.I learned about imagemagick and how to compose an image with a mask and a gradient. I use this to create colored icons for my look and feel in awesome wm. I got inspired by icon packs like neon for kde but I wanted to have my own colors and a consistent pallet and I just need a few for my statusbar.
That's awesome! 🔥
Hey Nick!
I learned Gridsome/JAMstack this week and I set everything up with a Headless CMS, which is a first for me. Cool stuff!

I've learned a bit about code coverage tooling, mainly through publishing my blog series on, API's from dev to production; specifically part 3 that was posted today right here on dev.to
I've looked into Codecov.io and it's worked great, took minutes to setup and have it working, and I highly recommend it.
I've also looked into Coveralls.io, unfortunately it isn't working that well right now, setup was easy, just like Codecov, and I'm working with the Coveralls community through a GitHub issue to resolve.
I feel these kinds of platforms for code coverage do offer value.

Nice!

I learnt about Vue 3, to be more specific:
