💡CSS Background Opacity Trick:
There are different ways of adding a dark overlay to the background image without affecting the text on it. But this is the simplest trick ever 👇
If you need a 50% transparent black overlay, add a linear gradient using rgba in the same CSS rule.

Today I learned that localStorage can store only Strings in most browsers 😲
So if you're trying to store a boolean value like `true`, it will store it as a String "true", and then when you retrieve the value and try to compare, you will run into issues!
Solution: JSON.parse()

In India most families still don’t encourage mothers who go for work.

Here is one concept related to CSS Flexbox almost no tutorial covers:
Auto margins for flex items.
If you have four items in a row and want to push number of items to the end starting from any item, you can use auto margin for that item!

One of my biggest dreams might come true this June! 🤯

I use responsive grids so often that I created a Tailwind CSS plugin for the same.
Now you need to use JUST ONE utility class to create a responsive grid layout. No need for the md: or lg: variants.
If you know "auto-fit" in Grid, that's what this uses. NPM package link below.

I can pick any tech concept I’m interested in, play around with it and learn it deeply.
Then simplify it through a tutorial, course, book or a tech talk.

If I had waited for “enough savings” to quit my job, I wouldn’t have quit.
If I had waited for my baby to grow up to get back to my career, I wouldn’t have.
If I had waited for the right time to write a book, I wouldn’t have made it.
There’s really no “perfect time”
