September 9th, 2021: What did you learn this week?

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.

Summarize a concept that is new to you.

And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

Not related to coding but I've learnt very valuable lesson that kept wasting my time for months.
Linux.
I thought linux might be better for programming than window so I tried to switch to linux full time.It was a disaster. I needed to spend many hours troubleshooting things that didn't exist on window.
Now, I have accepted and learned that coding on window is OK.

This week, I had,

  • A few things at home to windup and get fixed

  • Started University again, 7th semester. Learning about the .NET Framework, Information & CyberSecurity, Professional Practies & Ethics In IT, and finally, I have a my first class tomorrow for "Design, Defects & Restructuring"

  • I had some free time this week ... so I started working towards a quick specialization, "Computer Security and Systems Management Specialization", coursera.org/specializations/compu.... I've just started the 2nd out of 4 courses from the specialization.

  • Podcast habit. I've been continuously listening to podcasts whenever I can. I think I've listened to about 4-5 sessions already - and I'm really excited to listen to more

  • Managed sleep schedule - I count this as an achievement with my ongoing Uni

  • Spent quality time with friends - for me, this is very essential. Life behind a screen can sometimes become boring

  • Choose Open Source projects that I'll be contributing to over till next year starts. Yay!

  • Just published an article on dev.to! dev.to/rubix982/a-brief-discussion...

  • Will be staying in touch with the Jenkins team on Slack to contribute to the "Jenkins Summit - DevOps World"! Woohoo!

I learned about assert statements and decorators. The first one is such a tool to debug your code and the second one is a way to modify an object, function or method without altering his code. Decorators are a wonderful way to reuse code adding functionalities.

I learned to use Material UI. A quick and simple way to style a React app.
It took some time getting used to its setup, but definitely worth it. The tutorial video below by The Net Ninja helped a lot.

Just started with TypeScript! I am doing it all with its docs. It's well written and easy to consume if you have a good JS knowledge :)
