Over the past few years, I came to the realization that there wasn't necessary a way to improve directly as a software engineer. When you're younger and going through high school you learn skills such as first learning to code the fundamentals and you place those in your tool-belt. In university you learn better algos, more deeper topics like OS, and software architecture. These are all fine and dandy but don't really give you to grow in the industry.

However, another realization is that there may perhaps be an element of practice. I grew up playing hockey, and you don't only get better at hockey by playing games. You get better by practicing; something we don't necessary focus on once we're in the industry.

An pretty simple example of this I have is using a lambda to sort something in Python. This is something very useful to have for coding interviews, but it's something I never bothered to take the time to remember the syntax. I always assumed that I would remember it if I did it enough times, but never did. So instead I actually took the time to remember and learn exactly what each piece of the syntax does and now I have don't have to search it up every single time I need to use it.

I don't claim to be a Docusaurus expert so there is probably a few better things to do.

For the most part, I just followed along to the [tutorial](https://docusaurus.io/docs) when building the site. I customized things such as the favicon, colours, and home page. I deleted the blog portion as that was unnessesary and also used `.scss` instead of just `.css`.
