I realised that my React skills were slowly proving to be a bottleneck, so I learnt all the react concepts and the internal workings, now I feel pretty confident about react.
I also learnt what actual designing is, and how to really make good looking websites

I also re-learnt (went through the docs) of the amazing NextJS. I felt like I hadn't really grasped the concepts of datafetching (getServerSideProps, getStaticPaths, etc). This week, I was 1% better than the last.

This week I learned about the ControlValueAccessor in Angular Forms. This comes in handy in the event you are creating an Angular Form and want to create a reusable component such as an input. I've always just inlined whatever I need, but this would definitely come in handy if you have a form heavy app and will reuse the same field. I'm also exploring the UX trends for signup and login pages. If you've got a link to a useful article, please share :)
