Philosophy

Use your code for good. Read the source code. There's so much to learn from the source code of great projects. It's like reading the brain of a genius. You see their thought process, their problem-solving approach, their coding style. Itโ€™s a kind of knowledge you wonโ€™t find in tutorials or documentation. So dive into the source code of your favorite projects and learn from the best.
