Weekly Journal

Last week was short as it was Memorial Day weekend. It was good to take a long weekend as I was honestly feeling a bit burnt out. Between being sick earlier this month, then out for the conference, I didn't realize how drained I was. We're actually taking a trip this weekend for Ashley's birthday as well. So hopefully that will continue the recharge.

In between everything I have been working to complete the Human Shifts which came in earlier this month. Actually had another one come in this week. So these will keep me busy into next week.

🔥 Tip

I noticed an oldie but goodie when reviewing the Laravel PRs this week. Something I actually learned from a conference talk long ago and put into BaseCode - avoid else. You might also know them as guard clauses, early returns, or something similar. But there was a good example in this PR.
