What you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Hey hey 👋

What are you learning on this weekend?

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

Have an awesome weekend! Learn, take breaks, and have fun.

Figuring out how to take what could potentially be 25+ API calls and 25+ database queries down to only 4 API calls (maybe even fewer!) and 10 database queries. I think I can get the queries down to 4 or less though.

I'll mostly be bodging my way through some more #AdventOfCode puzzles in a new language (for me, one of the oldest in real time): Scheme..

With luck I'll slowly gain a good understanding of Scheme and know when it could be used effectively elsewhere!

It sounds to me like you're scheming. 😈

From The Simpsons, Mister Burns is twiddling his fingers together as if he is "scheming"

Haha, hope it went well for ya, Phil! 🙌

Trying to work on local/remote sync, using RxDB/Dexie and Supabase. First, trying to understand it in a vanilla js context, then working up to using that RxDB reactive dataset as a Svelte store.

My little button-head is woozy...

Learning about Computer Networking via CCNA, and diving straight into a project.

I think I'll add on to my documentation project on things I discover with JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc...
