Today I Learned
Inspired by others I've seen do this and by the idea of Learning in public, I've created this repo to share TILs (Today I learned). I'm hoping this will motivate me to more consistently post things so feel free to poke me if it's been a while. I've been doing web dev for over a decade and still feel like I'm regularly learning things I "should have known" so hopefully this serves as a reminder that we're all just constantly learning.
104 TILs and counting...
