Thank you for this opportunity!

What's your preferred way to learn some advanced things related to the stack that you are using?
For example, mine is to explore os projects and extract the techniques that I found interesting.

Thank you for your time!

Since I work in primarily things related to PHP and wordpress at the moment, I really try to look at all the best development products for the ecosystem and try and use them an inspiration. I think that is probably similar to what you are saying about os projects.

Getting into Vue and learning moderns front end has helped me iterate on ideas quickly and prototype ideas faster in that regard. I also try not to jump around too much when it comes to focussing on different areas of front end.

I spent some time with react, jquery, handlebars, and other front end tech, but at the end of the day I decided to focus on Vue. It can be hard not to go mess around with all the new shiny things when they first come out, but there is so much that can be learned in just one area of development, that I try and remember what my passion is, and not get swept up in the constant nw stuff that pops up daily in the JS world.
