Weeknotes: 23 October to 27 October 2023
Databases in Hanami, using fewer coding extensions and connecting with folks from technical communities
What I have found gripping
The command createdb library_development in Hanami creates a new development database
Reducing the number of extensions for coding frees up time for writing cleaner code because there is less troubleshooting to do
Connecting with folks from technical communities to problem-solve, learn or get feedback offers new insights. Grateful for their time, perspectives and kindness
