It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.

This week I learned about how useful it can be to record a video of walking through a pull request. I provided diagrams, documentation, and ample explanation for a chunky pull request.
That's awesome! 🔥
Totally non-dev related, but I learned that the web app for Instagram doesn’t yet have Reels.
As someone who has increasingly been doomscrolling these videos but not willing to give up on IG completely, this has been a game changer! I’ve uninstalled the app and replaced it with an iOS shortcut to the web app.
I've been working on a programming video game for a few weeks now. This week I realized that I am not that passionate about the game dev side of things, but really enjoy working on the developer experience. Things like designing the API, writing documentation, creating examples, automating tasks, ...
On one hand I really appreciate the insight, but it does make me wonder how I should proceed with the project. 😅
I learned that a problem I have been thinking about for the last six months can probably solved using Event Sourcing:

The problem is to synchronize a global state in an IOT system with very unreliable connections.
This is my second week at a new job and I've picked up some newbie Docker things! I haven't been assigned a proper project yet (and have a ways to go until that's a thing - the ecosystem is massive) but skilling up is rad.
I also learned how to play Gaslands, which isn't dev related but super fun.
Nice!
I started working with Plotly.js: I really like this library!
I created my first ever Chrome extension, although a basic one but gave me a spark to keep up with something creative...
Awesome!
I learned how a key-value pair is represented in json, and how to deserialize it to C# (spoiler: it's a Dictionary)
Nice!
I learned that I’m definitely not ready to work at Amazon, but it was a good interview experience, anyway.
I learned one of the trickiest topics to learn for beginners in Swift language in my opinion: closures.
Learned a lot about Rehype and remark, libraries used to handle markdown. Working on parsing some markdown and needed to make a custom table of contents. Cool stuff.
That react window should be used over react virtaulized 😬
I learned the lyrics to "Scar Tissue" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 🌶
Been singing it all week much to my wife's dismay, haha!
I definitely prefer smaller deliverable PRs that build towards something larger. In this case, there were two PRs
And 13 and 20 files respectively; not overly large but bigger than my preferred 3 to 7 files. My decision point for a more chunky PR was the speed at which I was looking to deliver paired with the end-deliverable was other folks being able to use this little configuration subsystem with minimal guidance.
While crafting those PRs, I had about 10 atomic commits, but chose to squash them.
