-------------------

“Because a lot of what I do is learning-related, sometimes I can get down a road of just trying to learn too much or taking too many tutorials or not really getting into the weeds with something. So I think building something that is somewhat practical, or maybe even just for a single user app, is nice because you'll run into problems that you don't in a nice little clean edged tutorial. So building something is super important, I feel like, and I try to not break that rule.” – Eve Porcello
