Weeknotes: 3 June to 7 June 2024

• Inclusive environments consistently help folks make progress regardless of their experience and/or skill level

• Consciously building skills means focusing on the ones that are crucial with the right tools and resources. This is in addition to deepening one’s knowledge. It’s also about leaning on inclusive communities. See the framework below for more context on conscious skill development:

• Creating a new database for production also meant ensuring it was in the same location as the hosting services of my project
