What are you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Hey muh peeps!

What's everybody up to this weekend? Learning, chilling, a little bit of both?

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.

Share whatever it is you're learning about below and consider leaving some encouraging words for someone else down there while you're at it!

I might finally finish my project! I have about 8 things left to do (in the form of GitHub issues), and... then aside from deployment, I'll be done!

That sounds awesome, have fun! By the way, this is my first time coming over the word "frankensteining" so I looked it up.

Thank! Using some great resources from this platform to prep. Cat's name is Phil and he loves popping and saying "Hi" during most of my Zoom calls. He will be in the bedroom with the door shut with his toys and treats for an hour during the interview.

I'm learning how much junk notes I have on my computer. So the goal is to learn how to organize these files correctly instead randomly placing notes in various places. Also, become functional with Bash.

@michaeltharrington what is on your learning list for the day.

As someone who also struggled with a mess of notes I suggest checking out Obsidian.MD

Thank's for the suggestion. I use OneNote personally. It's just making sure that I don't place the receipe for Outback Kookaburra Wings in a section for my Study Notes or Project Notes.

Well, I started learning/experimenting with backend developement using NodeJS. As I am not a developer (I do it mainly as a hobby) this has been my first time with full stack web developement and, what started as a way to add a backend to a static website, is turning into designing my very own CMS!

going through Oops design patterns and thinking about which ones can make the existing code base clean!
Found this website refactoring.guru/design-patterns/c... which is quite easy to follow.
