Just understood a concept that I couldn't understand 2 years ago (after trying some videos and articles) in <5 mins by reading one article.
What changed 🤔?
This week, I'm learning Python and would be delving a bit into Data Science and ML.
Also completing a React/Node.js project and writing some articles.
What about you?

It is hard to memorize all the important Git commands as a newbie, most times Senior Developers forget too. This is why you need a reference you can come back to when you get stuck.
I created a Git Cheat Sheet to help you with this. ⚡
Most times seeing other people's progress and success can trigger some mixed feelings and encourage imposter syndrome.
Remember:
↪We're wired differently
↪God's plan for everyone is different
↪Have long-term goals
↪Keep working towards this goals
↪Say to yourself: I CAN 👌

5 Myths of learning to code ❌
🔅 I don't have enough time
🔅 I started too late
🔅 I don't just get it and never will
🔅 I need to learn every language to become a great developer.
🔅 I need to be very good at it to start building stuff.

Here are some recommended FREE community-curated learning resources you might want to check out.
▫️Web/ Mobile Development
▫️Data Science/ Machine Learning
▫️UI/UX Design
▫️Cloud Computing
▫️Technical Writing
IMO, the way to get better at what you do is to do that same thing consistently everyday. Learning, practicing, unlearning, relearning and building stuff.
Though it'll take time but the seeds of consistency always brings forth blissful fruits. 🌻💙
Just discovered that I prefer reading text rather than watching videos while learning.
Most times the videos are just too fast, just before I try out a code, tutor is in line 10 🤦
I'll have to pause ...

In JavaScript, a higher-order function is a function that can take another function as an argument, or that returns a function as a result.
Map, filter, and reduce are prime examples:
