Rachel FazioHey there! Welcome to this week's edition of What I Learned. After a week of delving into new coding topics and reading your articles over on the #codenewbie tag, I'm excited to share some of my favorite finds with you.
If you aren't exploring or posting over on the #codenewbie tag, find the tag here!

Here's what I discovered this week (there has been no rhyme or reason this week, just a few scattered things I learned!):
If you don’t know me, you should know that I REALLY love production line organization and documentation. I love to document different changes in my graphic design progress so I can feel my successes more and communicate with my team better. As I try to better understand our engineering team’s workflow, I have found articles like these pivotal in understanding documentation! If you need a Pull Request crash course, this is it.
@bekahhw states, “The great things about Pull Requests are that they allow for collaboration between contributors and maintainers, offer an opportunity to communicate changes that have been made and why they are important, and the ability for maintainers to provide feedback.”
@bekahhw also made this other article for @opensauced, further explaining Pull Requests!
Spoiler: I am a huge fan of recommending that people do online courses and a huge hypocrite who has never done one (related to coding at least). But I can tell you for sure, articles like this one from @javinpaul help me motivate that part of my brain that I know will do one one day.
When coming up with portfolio ideas in the past, I know I have sometimes pulled out my hair trying to come up with something with that good balance between sophistication, effortlessness, and uniqueness. If you need some more inspiration to get you through that hurdle, check out this article from @rammcodes
And— last but not least, if you haven’t engaged in any discussions today, here is one @ben posted today!
Thank you thank you for tuning in, have a great rest of your day y’all!
(PS: What random things are you learning this week???)
