I thought this was about programming languages before I saw it was from BBC, making me ask - what is the best way to learn a new programming language? I'm guessing the answer is making small things, but what exactly? I've made so

I'm sick of using React for personal projects so I've been building a lightweight, functional, and minimalistic reactive web framework. Turns out there are a lot of decisions that go into something like this, it truly is an iceber

One of my favourite quotes on this topic: > Using ChatGPT to write an essay is a bit like using a forklift to lift weights. The forklift might do a perfectly good job of moving around some heavy iron plates, but you’d be wasting your tim
