What I have found gripping

  • The function main() in Go needs to be unique to the main package

  • Hearing new perspectives from more experienced folks in software engineering is very valuable

  • Refactoring code leads to amending unit tests also

  • Structuring projects in Python is about including clean code containing a logic and dependencies that are clear in addition to considering how we organise files and folders

  • Knowledge shared is knowledge squared is a phrase about the importance of sharing knowledge
