Rule of thumb - keep your constructors pure.

Starting a channel

I'm starting a YouTube channel and this is going to be my secret sauce.

Show Up

I went from dismissing habit tracking to building a habit tracker.

As you write code, explain the why and not the how or what. Your future self is going to thank you.

Short

Writing with simplicity in mind is liberating.

Show your work!

Work in public.

Socket Tunnels

Make SSH Tunnels even better by assigning them to a socket file.

It's time to start for a blank slate.
