I hooked a neural network up to my Roomba. I wanted it to learn to navigate without bumping into things, so I set up a reward scheme to encourage speed and discourage hitting the bumper sensors. It learnt to drive backwards, because there are no bumpers on the back.

My two cents on mentorship... "You don't ask someone to be your friend. So why would you ask them to be your mentor? Many mentees think of mentorship all wrong. And that means they're missing the great mentors in front of them."

Here's a small react-spring driven fit-space/masonry grid: codesandbox.io/embed/26mjowz… It teaches you how to calculate a grid (in 3 lines) and how to set up a transition for it (which is prepared for shuffle & animated adds/removes). Bonus: useMeasure and useMedia.

Programming is like a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE GAME except every path leads to you lying in bed at 2am thinking about a bug you couldn’t fix that day.
