Mine is bonding with my cat Nianna who we affectionately call Baby Key. She has been following me around all week wanting attention and snuggling up with me whenever I sit down to watch tv or lay down to sleep at night. She can be quite devilish, so seeing her be so sweet has been a really nice treat. šŸ™‚

Learning a lot of node.js, applying dependency injection to add easy support for different package managers and versions, only changing a configuration file.

All that to add new compatibility for #yarn classic and berry to #swpm (switch package manager) šŸ§¶šŸ„³

Very nice! That was a super cool post, Aarushi. šŸ™Œ

By the way, when ya are dropping posts in comments, you can embed them if you wanna so that they look like this:

The markdown for that is as such: {% embed https://dev.to/aarushikansal/giving-your-large-language-model-skills-stoicism-meets-ai-5gd1 %} ... you def don't have to do this, but I thought this might be helpful to share with you!
