I wrote this yesterday on my birthday as a way to document my lessons over 20 years. It seems to have resonated so sharing here in case it's helpful to anyone else.

This has +800k views on Twitter so I guess it resonated. Hope it's helpful to someone here.

I found it very useful, thanks!

Yeah good point. I'm fortunate to know people from both Ruby and Python who would help. And each one has their own bias as to which one to learn. But you make a great point, a real life friend you can pester with questions is very helpful.

Wow. Thank you. Seriously, great response - very much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I've felt the same, just curious what others would say, especially if anyone here was in my shoes in the past. Appreciate the feedback though.

Use Bootstrap. If you're scared of using that, use Jetstrap to get a premade Bootstrap template.
