Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.

Summarize a concept that is new to you.

And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ»πŸ‘‡πŸΌπŸ‘‡πŸ½πŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΏ

I learned that I can create multiple files or directories at once in the command line by putting spaces between them. mkdir hello world would create a hello and world folders in one go. It's command line magic.

TIL @nickytonline has exactly the same exact discussion question on Friday mornings as me, except his has next level gif responses.


This week I actually launched my newsletter, like actually send something out to the whole list. I learned a lot about newsletters and getting them going isn't quite as trivial as I had thought. From the suggestion of @chrisachard I started off with emailoctopus. It seemed like the easiest way to get things off the ground for free.

Chris runs a service makde.dev that I signed up for. If you want help trying to build your product/brand in any way check it out. It helped me get going.

You can sign up here waylonwalker.com/newsletter

(The site is: make.dev - looks like you have a typo there :) )

This week I learned how to create an Angular component and it has been really fun. After learning something about React, Preact and Vue now I know something about Angular too.
It's something, now tsParticles can be easily used in all this frameworks!

I tried Deno too but I need to be more focused, maybe next week.

I learned basics of nodejs and express. I'm happy I learn it and angry that I did not learned it earlier as this is quite easy. Now I starting to ❀️ backend :)
