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.
Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.

I understood classes in Python.
Good times :)
I learned from a friend that every Docker container can have its own health check built in (very handy) and I'm re-exploring using Firebase's authentication for my apps so I don't have to bother rolling my own.
Firebase's solution is free (other than phone authentication; which I don't really care that much about) and would provide a very simple solution that would scale well and should plug in easily. Once I've got it all smooth and easy I'll probably write up an article with a lovely clickbait title like, "Don't write your auth; let Firebase give it to you for free!" or something equally ridiculous.
I've messing around with Smart Contracts' creation, practicing with Hardhat and Testing with Chai. Also I minted a token on my wallet running in the the Rinkeby Test Network named KEVS. 😄
Learned about React Hooks.💫
It has been 6 Days since I started 100 Days in Sollidity and i'm loving it.

I learned about useContext in React.
Still need to wrap my head around it though 😄
I have been learning Java.
Went in dept on JavaScript closures and prototypes
I was able to make a Decimal to Binary calculator (cpp). After I had finished this I tried to make a Binary to Decimal decoder, but it didn't work out and I had to use geeksforgeeks.org for help. I eventually figured it all out and I am pretty happy.
Yeah!
This week I learned that I probably have ADHD. This is quite a bizarre concept for me, given that I am 30 years old. But suddenly everything makes sense. I also learned that a lot of fellow coders have ADHD, and that there are support communities out there. So yeah, not much in terms of technical skills this week but a massive and potentially life changing realization that I believe will help in my career and personal development alike.
It doesn’t always have to be about the code. 😎
