Giving @warp.dev another whirl. This has improved drastically since I last tried it. Looks as though it may have persistent session management like tmux/zellij, but I need to look into that a bit more. Give it a try (yes it's a referral - access directly if you prefer): app.warp.dev/referral/R93...

@wagslane.bsky.social I’m seeing BST examples implemented using a single class and also using 2 classes (node and tree). Are there any reasons why you might choose one approach over the other?

I've been quiet but still coding. I've been focusing my attention on working through the Boot.dev curriculum by @wagslane.bsky.social. Recently finished building the static site generator project - what a brain melter that was! It's done, and I ranked up to Archsage.

In today’s episode of Boot.dev I finished off Decorators. All was going well, decorators made sense, *args and **kwargs made sense and… then @wagslane.bsky.social threw a decorator factory in the example and my head fell off. Thanks Lane.
I also hit Sage rank 🎉

Just finished the Currying module on Boot.dev. I won't lie to you, that has addled my brain just a little, but I think I get it. I forgot to accept my daily quest though - the first time! Feels bad man! On to decorators next, but first I need to go and do Day 15 of 100 Days of Code with Python.
