Hello!

I'm excited to post the first issue for learnbyexample weekly.

Article of the week

Learning never stops. I've been working on a programming project for the past few weeks and this article resonated a lot with me.

How To Learn Stuff Quickly by Josh W. Comeau. Here's some passages that I loved:

"Learning how to learn effectively is super important, especially as a software developer; learning new things is practically the whole gig! If you can learn to quickly pick up new languages/frameworks/tools, you'll be able to be way more productive than the average developer. It's sort of a superpower."
"Learning is an active process. Poking and prodding at the code will help us build a mental model for what's going on."
"Honestly, we learn so much more from struggling and failing than we do from effortless success."
"Have you ever tried to explain something to someone, only to realize that you don't quite understand it as thoroughly as you thought you did?"
