This is the newsletter that gives you a summary of everything relevant that happened the past week that can help you on your coding journey. Be sure to tell me what you think.

Early morning and a lot to talk about.

Last week was all about Imposter Syndrome. Having recently switched jobs and started working with a whole new team, this feeling was intensified. It is something that usually comes and goes but there are ways to future-proof yourself against it, and I made content around exactly just that.

The key point to remember here is that it is a very common phenomenon and you are not alone.

If you’d like to talk about that with someone, I am available for it. My DMs are always open on Twitter so feel free to hit me up.

Now let’s start this week off with the right foot 🦶

Also, I got a kitten! 🐱

✍️ Weekly Snippet

hasDuplicates function in JavaScript

Checks a list for duplicate values. Returns true if duplicate values exist and false if values are all unique.

This function compares the length of the list with the size of the new Set() of the list. new Set() removes duplicate values from the list.
