Food for Thought
A mindset, an example, and an action item to start the week

Mindset: This quote reminds us that our self-worth comes from within, not from others' opinions.

Example: Patagonia, a sustainable outdoor clothing company, empowers its employees to be their authentic selves, never compromising their values.

Action: Identify one person or situation that makes you feel inferior, then consciously decide not to give them that power.

The Quick Byte
One coding tip because you’re technical after all

This week’s coding challenge:

This week’s tip:

The Factory Pattern in TypeScript provides a way to create objects without exposing the creation logic to the client, allowing you to create different types of objects from a common interface:

Wen?

• Flexibility and Extensibility: The Factory Pattern allows you to create different types of objects without tightly coupling the client code to the concrete implementation, making it easier to add new types of objects in the future.

• Abstraction and Encapsulation: The pattern encapsulates the object creation logic, hiding the details from the client and providing a common interface for creating objects.

• Testability and Maintainability: By separating the object creation logic from the client code, the Factory Pattern makes it easier to test and maintain the application.
