What you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Howdy partners 🀠

What's everybody learning on this weekend?

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice πŸ˜‰, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Have a wonderful weekend, learn lots, and but of course remember to step away from the computer and enjoy your New Year, otherwise you might end up like Fry down here! πŸ₯³πŸ‘‡

Fry from Futurama is sitting back in a chair on New Year's Eve alone looking board and blowing a party blower... little does he know the adventure that he's about to go on.

As far as programming, I'm learning about React (I haven't learned much about it) and a bit about macOS setup (I only use Windows or Ubuntu on my PCs).
As far as life lessons, I'm learning about inclusivity and tolerance. :D

Happy new year to anyone reading this!

Yeah, that didn't happen. I learned the art of the French Press. Never going back to drip again (at home that is).

The French Press is hard to beat! That's my daily.

Yes! The fresh ground stuff makes all the difference.

It's easy to spend a lot on a nice coffee machine (and shoot, there are some good ones) but really French Press + freshly ground beans is easily up there with the best. The nice machines might get you some small gains, but I think having freshly ground stuff is the ticket.

I got a pretty cheap, but decently good electric one I use. I think it's from like Target or something, haha.

My podcast would be for programmers and about programming careers, specifically all of it but the programming part.
The format would be circa 45 minutes long interviews, in french, every two weeks.
That's an early plan so things can change, i don't even have a name yet.

GraphQL is my focus for the weekend. Also researching to see if there's any cases where people have conjoined a SQL and NoSQL database because I'm curious about what such a bastardization would look like, as well as what the use-cases would be.
