Nice post! I only missed that you don't mention other falsy values in the Boolean paragraph. As you have mentioned one already.

Hey Arnas,

Thanks for reading and you are right, I have omitted these but it was intentional as the post was getting a little long. Part 2 will cover the others and things focus a bit more on syntax etc too. Thanks for the feedback.

I’ve also come to peace with the fact that I may learn/work slower than others, and no matter what I do, I can’t learn everything.

Bang on!
