📝 Today I Learned

TIL

A collection of small snippets of mostly technical stuff that I learn and get back to regularly. Though, this repo feels more like a Note to Self than a collection of snippets.

24 TILs and counting...

Note on TIL Count Update

A pre-commit hook is configured to run the update_til_count.py script before each commit to auto-updated the TIL count in this README.

Inspiration

I got the inspiration for this from Josh Branchaud's repository jbranchaud/til. I first read about the idea of documenting what I learn in Shawn Wang's blog Learn in Public.
