I completed the modules related to Ruby, which got me excited about learning more about this programming language. I wanted to find more problems to work with to really test my understanding of Ruby's features.</p> <p>In an earlier module, we signed up for Exercism, which is a site to practice various programming languages. I took a peek at the Ruby track, and solved the first few problems. The material they explained were already taught in the modules, but it felt like I was cementing what I know about Ruby by reading the lessons again and working through more problems.</p> <p>This taught me about the importance of continuing to practice. The Exercism problems weren't required, but it was a resource that could help us dive deeper into Ruby and remember that knowledge by heart. When we understand a language that deeply, we also become better developers.</p>
