In the never ending learning journey of programming, it's easy to forget a lot of the details that you learn. Especially, if said details are not used in your day to day job.

I found that the best way to never forget is to have a reference of all the fun little tips that you find, to explain it to your future self in the best way possible and let the all-great power of the internet be your memory.

It's you to you

That way, if you want to remember something, you don't go searching for it in all the vast world wide web, you can find a simple explanation for it, narrated by you and in the best way you can understand it.

Inspired by this, I decided to create this series of small little codecrumbs. Think of it as digestible pieces of knowledge concerning code, software engineering and whatever else I might find useful for me and hopefully you, my dear reader.
