It's been a long 4 months building this and it's nowhere near complete but I think this is a good stopping point to share the MVP. - A "gamified" learning platform to help you become a web developer. The first lesson? the basics of the command line 😎

I wish small groups were a thing. 1. Pick something you want to learn (e.g. Rust) 2. Use a learning path/course/book 3. Find 2-3 people to do it with you 4. Meet 1x/week for 1-hour to discuss and pair-program 5. Cheer each other on and finish together Wouldn't that be neat?

IMO pattern recognition is a *highly* underrated skill As you write more code, you'll start saying, "Ah! This problem is similar to that thing I ran into the other day." And that's when you'll realize you've leveled up

Ali Spittel

@ASpittel

The first question to ask yourself when you're solving a problem, is have I seen this problem before? Or have I seen another problem with a similar pattern? If you have, then there may be differences, but you can still start to apply the previous solution and then tweak it.
