It's that time of the week again.
So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.
Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.

I'm a student at lambda schools. I just started this week with HTML, css, and Flexbox. The biggest take aways from this week are responsive HTML, mastering Flexbox, and centering elements with margin/padding control. It was a really good week and I'm even more excited to see what next week with JavaScript will unfold. Check out this portfolio site hosted on netlify I made yesterday. I'd say pretty good for a newb in one day. Comments are very much appreciated

I've learned about RedHat Enterprise Linux system administration and take the EX 200 exam on this Friday :).
Goodluck!
Good luck!
Finally, I passed the EX 200 exam :-)!
Congratulations 🎊
I've learned a quite surprising and obvious thing that our lives are shaped by pain and pleasure. And the best procrastination advice I've ever had:
From the book Awaken the Giant Within.
I learnt there are some bad accounts or maybe bots which can disturb your (public) repo on GitHub. One such issue from an account was:
"Hi sir how ryou". Exactly the same words. 🤦♂️
Lesson: REPORT or block those. Or maybe make an Action? 👀
I feel like there must be some spam prevention bots that exist, but maybe not. Could be a side project then. 😉
Yes, defintely. I was thinking of the same.
I built my first React Native app :) (and shortly after released my first library that works on React Native)
Ok the app doesn't do much, but woo, now I get the differences to the browser version!
Awesome!
A couple of things, but the most recent is:
When you have
fs-extrainstalled, you don't need to importmkdirpanymore.I finally figured out how Gitlab CI/CD and AWS work together :) . Might not sound like big of a deal, but I'm super happy about it.
Nice!
I couldn't sleep last night/this morning so I read half of the Pocket Guide to Writing SVG. I have not dabbled with SVGs much, but I am very interested now.
I learnt about graphql queries, async await vs promise and made some plugins for vue and gridsome. 😃
Been reading up on some algorithms - Khan Academy is a great source!
That's awesome! 🔥
I learned the component aspect of React is wonderful and that state... State is terrible. But I'll get it sooner or later
State isn’t terrible. Start off using just component state and see how far you get. State management libraries can come later. And with the built in hooks, you can go a long way.
That's fair. I have been banging my head against the wall for two days now in my learning endeavors and that has been my major pain point. Thanks for the advice
I've learned that I need to learn docker, I spent a lot of time setting up a virtual machine with ubuntu, but docker seems the to-go solution.
