I learnt about custom hooks and how/why to build them, with a push from you 😉.

And how to call a function on a functional component from it's parent using useImperativeHandle which came in handy at my day job 😅

I find a bug, which was in my app for like four months...
But that made me finally integrate error monitoring in my app (using Sentry, super easy integration in flask project!). I'm happy about that, and it will be a sure thing to do in future projects!
(also it reminded me that I should write more test, but that will take some time :D )

I started learning Vue + Nuxt as part of an interview challenge for an internship. 😱About to be done with most of the basics.

Hopefully my React and Gatsby knowledge comes in clutch. 🤞
