  • Feeling a sense of belonging is dependent on the quality of experiences within any given context

  • Connecting across differences starts small

  • Cross-cultural learning is continuous

What I have found gripping

  • Python code follows conventions outlined in PEP 8 (Python Enhancement Proposal 8)

What I have found gripping

  • Writing integration tests in Rails is a fantastic way to try out different use cases for applications

  • Solving a technical challenge in fewer lines of code makes a difference

  • Running a test suite and working through error messages before tests pass is fascinating

  • There isn’t an equivalent to the Ruby switch statement in Python. From version 3.10.0, the Match Statement in Python is all I could find
