I learned a few new concepts of front-end-development by completing some challenges from [FrontEndMentor.io].

I've learned this week:
• Writing HTML using The Semantic Elements.
• Advanced CSS Grid, Flexbox
• Advanced JavaScript DOM Manipulation

I also got some good ideas about API, JSON, HOOKS this week.

Rollup doesn't really agree with { composite: true } yet.
ts-loader has { projectReferences: true }, and it works.
Webpack 5 still doesn't support ESM out of the box.
node-sass 5 hasn't made great friends with create-react-app.
SnowPack is fast.
Folks are beginning to consider Deno as a target when compiling libraries.
A single hair tie can stop a large basin from draining properly, allowing my basement to fill up with the better part of 90 gallons of nasty turtle water in about two minutes.

this week was a busy week for me.
I learned how to develop add-ons for Jira Cloud with React
Installed Notion and customize some templates for my use cases.
Installed WSL2 on my windows machine and then installed zsh with oh-my-zsh and configure them.
it was quite fun 😅

I’m here for the Deadpool meme 🙃.

Seriously though, I’d say this week I finally have a better understanding of CSS property, value and declaration.

Noice!

[Nick Taylor]

That's awesome! 🔥

1. I learned Twilio Studio this week
2. If learning is realizing that there are advantages and disadvantages on tech stacks, then I learned that too.
3. Learned 2 colors that go well with brown 😄

Nice!

It was hands-on-Linux-superuser week for me
I learned to remain calm while working at 10fps on a triple-layered remote desktop connection to a Red Hat server in order to retrieve several logs. I had the chance to review and reinforce my knowledge on Bash stuff like pipes and commands (for example, I did not remember that grep accepts regex, unlike cp).
Also, I learned a simple yet useful linux command to switch from cli to gui when using my Debian machine; startx. Before I'd run systemctl start lightdm but that was easy to forget.

[Nick Taylor]

Awesome!
