Hey all. It's been a while.

First, there was a war, which made these tweets seem pointless at best.

Then there was some covid going around.

Then there was a new job.

Then some vacation.

Whole bunch of things.

Hoping to get restarted soon! ☮️

Need to learn something new? React? Typescript? Node? Python? Anything?

Just 30 mins every day = 2.5hrs / week, 10hrs / month.

See if there's anywhere you can borrow from to nudge that up to 60mins every day.

With in a few months you're up over 100 hrs.

It adds up.
