95: Dave Geddes on Mastery Games and the key to learning everything

Dave Geddes tells us about the science of learning and how he uses it to ensure success at mastery.games — where he teaches CSS layout, service workers, and more.

We talk about the importance of sleep for learning, the joy of graduating from employee to entrepreneur, and how exterminating a few critters can help you master CSS Grid once and for all
