And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

I started learning FastAPI super awesome web framework for Python.

I also learned to deploy multiple servers for building microservices using docker-compose and access them from the same port from the host machine using nginx reverse proxy.

I learned that sometimes, when you actually put something live for the first time, no matter how many tests you’ve run and scenarios you’ve tried, you will still find some good and some nasty surprises! So be prepared to learn from them and adapt fast!

and the book Mastering React Test-Driven Development. It's really well explained and I am progressively starting to implement what I am learning in my daily work.

Learnt practical use of async and defer attribute in script tag.

As we know that Javascript files are main hindrance in page rendering path. But with help of async we tell renderer to load this file asynchronously (means dont wait for anything) and defer refers to execute it after DOM loaded.

Yipeee... #performanceMatters

Well I learned one of the interfaces I use for controlling Data in my app is being deprecated and I am having to reprogram a lot of crap. On a good note I feel like as a jvm dev I am finally getting a good grasp on node js. I kinda like it.

I learned how to use traefik to setup a reverse proxy and TCP port forwarder for docker containers and internal subnet. It used to be such a pain to write nginx config. Thanks #traefik team.
