Mathematical proofs didn't click for me, so much so that I ended up failing my Discrete Math class because of it. Before I retook the DM course again, I took a Proof Workshop but I doubt I would've done good without the following

You're welcome! Rewatch Philip's video as many times as you need until the concepts sink in, before you move into learning promises and await/async [1]. Similarly for Jake Archibald's video. Good luck! [1]: from what I g

If you liked Stephen King's "On Writing", give William Zinsser's "On Writing Well" a read. It's not a memoir but more like a manual addressing different types of writing from corporate writing to sports to

I'd argue that you cannot understand asynchronous programming in JS without knowing how the call stack in the JS engine, web APIs (provided by the browser or NodeJS as far as I know), the callback/(macro)task queue, microtask queu
