Thanks for the post Jeremy 👋

A question I've been mulling over while reading.
Can the terms IoC and DI be used interchangeably?

My pleasure! The easiest way for me to summarize it is this:

Inversion of Control is a concept/abstraction and Dependency Injection is a specific implementation of that abstraction.

Ah. so IoC is a blueprint and DI is like a house.

Thanks, Jeremy 👊
