May 6th, 2021: What did you learn this week?

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.

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.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

I learned about vim's package feature , which apparently is how one should handle 3rd party plugins. Lucky for me my current setup works perfectly with this feature. The sad part is that installing and updating packages is not on the scope of this feature, so I for one still need a plugin manager to handle that stuff.

I'm slowly organizing my inbox following Don’t drown in email! How to use Gmail more efficiently. I'm hoping I'll be less overwhelmed whenever I check my mail.

I learned how to cluster pins in mapbox. I also somehow figured out how to use mapbox's esoteric "step expressions" to set the size and color of my cluster depending on cluster count. The last three weeks of my life at work have been very mapbox centric.

I remember that Distinct<>() Linq's method on C# looks for the reference and not value in a code review :)
