Quote of the monthIf you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.
Epictetus
This is something I always try to keep in mind when approaching a new subject or topic. We get so used to being competent that we forget what it feels like to be a beginner—foolish and stupid. But real improvement only comes from engaging with others: asking those more competent than us, whether individuals or the larger community. Sure, maybe the person you're asking isn’t the nicest and mutters to themselves, "Jeez, what an idiot." So what? If you're doing it right, you only need to be thought foolish once. You ask, you learn, you move on—hopefully without needing to ask the same question again! What I learned this monthI try to learn something new every day... hopefully, some of this is useful to you as well!

Being able to get IntelliSense from my editor while also having the flexibility to throw in a truly random string value is more useful than you initially think it's going to be! Great when you need type safety but still want flexibility.

Quote of the month I dreamt and saw life was joy. I awoke and saw life was duty. I acted, and behold duty was joy. To put it another way, fulfilling your responsibilities can surprisingly bring you happiness. Like most things in life, this is easier said than done. God knows I've been having a bit of a rough go fulfilling my duties at home, at work, and of course with a new business endeavor that I'm working on with my older brother (more on that later in the year 😆)!
