svelte. This may not be new for many developers, but I work mostly with python and c# (mostly back end and text user interfaces)... I have to say,the way of creating things in that framework is incredible. I think it was my best experience with web development so far.

Windows Linux Subsystem 2.

As an Ubuntu user for 14+ years, WSL excites me, and I'm currently 100% setup on Windows with the WSL, running everything I do on Linux, even including Docker, seamlessly.

ps: above is running on work computer. Personal laptop will forever run a *nix.

I've been loving coding small projects in Crystal lately. A great switch up from C# at my day job.

My favorite thing this week is an app/service that I instantly subscribed tp because it was made by the amazing Design+Code team. The new app is shape.io

It is a huge library of icons that can be editing and exported in many useful formats including SVG and React components.

Gatsby.js is really awesome! I've already finished a new theme and it's a very well thought achitecture.

I've started answering questions on StackOverflow and it's my favorite new thing now.

The questions I answer are not complex once you dig in a little. The fun part is explaining the problem and providing the necessary context.
