My Thoughts
It might seem basic, but there’s always something new to learn every time you go over it. Repetition really is the mother of knowledge the more you practice, the more things stick and click. Even the fundamentals can teach you fresh stuff if you pay attention. And if you’re old like me, you gotta put in way more hours for it to stick than a 20-year-old does!
