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.

I started to dive into the Web3 space. Pretty exciting stuff, but a vast field and everything still its infancy.
We did a web3 stream with @dabit3 last week that you might find interesting. DAOs, NFTs, all the things!
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.

I learned that it takes one hour everyday for several months to actually understand something.
Let's go!
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 :)
Nice!
