[BAWD #34] On Jamstack survey and 100+ Pitch Decks
Hello there 👋🏾,
I’m sorry I’m sending this letter very late. I trust you had a blissful week last week? Btw, here’s a friendly reminder that growth requires you to be open to unlearning ideas that previously served you.
I’ve added a new section to this newsletter called Dev Term of the day, where I’ll define a developer-related term in the simplest form I can think of. You might learn something new 😉. Please let me know what you think and if this is useful.
If you love the content I share, please forward this email, share it on social media or invite your friends to subscribe. I’ll also appreciate your feedback or suggestion(s); thanks!
