I learnt a little regex.

I learned what a hash map was and why they are good! I've been struggling through learning about data structures but this was an interesting section.

Big query and its nice command line interface. How to use Google's APIs to write and read from them

Typography! Some really great study on design theory, a professional mindset to typeface selection, and pairings.

And Sketch! I know Figma is where design is trending, but Sketch seems like a perfect starting point.

I learned...

1. a little bit more about python for machine learning through Kaggle's mini-courses.
2. that I'm quite fortunate that my work allows me to work from home 100%.
3. that my soft skills need a great deal of improvement.
4. the critical importance of reading classic literature. You would be amazed at how relevant are the writings of Plato, Suetonius, and Nietsche to modern society. I was.
5. that freelancing is a job in itself apart from the actual billable work.
