New programmers are often uncertain if they will ever be good enough. As we grow more experienced, we learn to relax in the total certainty that we'll never be good enough.

⚡️ Yesterday I learned that @CodePen tokenizes the code, which means that if you're learning a native browser feature, you can look it up in search! If you've read about something in the docs you can search codepen and see it in action. example: codepen.io/search/pens?q=…

Spent many hours researching all the different and most secure ways to authenticate users in an API, only to come to the conclusion that the simplest way in @rails is also the safest. Welp, at least now I know exactly why and possible hacks to watch out for. I love Rails. #webdev

@Daxlooopy Debugging is frustrating but it gets better as certain errors become more avoidable and/or easier to debug. I'd also recommend sometimes documenting *how* you get unstuck so that you can reference those learnings in the future if/when you are faced with a similar bug. #CodeNewbie
