Happy new week : )

Trust you had a great weekend?

What I did last week 😇

I had an interview with Victor, where he shared how he got his first full-time Job as a Junior Designer. This video is the second part of my Junior Dev Series where I interview different developers (as well as other tech related fields) and have them share their stories to help people pick tips and improve their approach to job applications
I published the summary for me and Fortune’s video Interview on my blog: How did Fortune get his first Full-time Job as a Junior Developer? - Junior Dev Series. I highlighted the key points he shared here.
I shared some JS tips, Common HTTP Status Codes and Using the string.replace method with a callback function on my Instagram Account
I published Why must JSX expressions have only ONE parent element?, where I explain how JSX works under the hood in React, and why it must have one parent element.
In my JavaScript Array methods series, I added Array.flatMap() - for applying a map and a flat on an array and Array.some() - for testing that at least one item meets a condition

I recently launched Simplified Technical Writing where I share most (if not all) of my experience in Technical writing. In it, I share how to get started, how to get topics, writing jobs you can apply for and so much more. Do check it out if interested and share : )

Useful tip of the day ✨

Here’s how to assign a dynamic property name for an object:

const propertyKey = 'type'

const obj = { name: 'JavaScript', [propertyKey]: 'language'}

obj.type

// language

This is done by using the square brackets as supported in ES6, like you see above.

That’s it for this week.

I currently have an Instagram account @deeecode where I share code/tech tips from time to time. Do follow if you’re interested :)
