This is awesome! Love the focus on short practical tutorials and not leetcode style questions. Are you planning on iterating this further?

It depends how easy the setup is. If it means I don't have to spend a fuck load of time setting up and debugging the dev environment on a local machine then I wouldn't mind trying it out.

I feel you mate. Sad part is Australia has all the potential to have a really good future but the only thing missing is competent leadership. The liberal government continues to fuck up time and time again and the Murdoch press just turns a
