Big Moment on @exercism_io! π
Just got my first code review where the mentor praised my solution as simple, straightforward, and clever! They had no feedback, saying it didnβt need to be fancy to work well. π A milestone for my coding journey in the Queen Attack exercise! π»β¨

All code, no connection?
Many think that coding is about watching a screen and typing all day...
But being a developer is about 100% about solving problems, often in a diverse team.
