It's about motifs and repeatable things. You have an overarching journey that you want to take. A beginning, a middle, and an end, basically, even on a function level or an architecture level. It’s exactly the same thing. It's not even about maths, I think it's just about logic and problem solving and creativity.” – Salma Alam-Naylor-------------------Links:Twitch - Follow SalmaTwitter - Follow SalmaTwitter - Follow CassidyTwitter - Follow ZachThe Dev Morning Show (At Night) YouTube Page
