2️⃣ 42 Projects to Practice Programming Skills

👨‍💻 42skills.com is an interesting website. If you are aiming to become a hardcore programmer, you should definitely check out this one. It lists 42 different types of projects that you can do to level up your coding game.

I won't suggest doing all of those, it's going to take a lot of time. But maybe pick a few and do those.

It doesn't just pack the existing tools into a single pack, rather it is introducing all from scratch. On top of this all, its components can also be used as a plugin in the existing tools.

8️⃣ A Norwegian school quit using video calls after a naked man ‘guessed’ the meeting link

With the current COVID-19 situation, almost every team has gone remote and using online tools to communicate and collaborate. This is rather a strange story from Norway where a naked man joined the chat in a school class. The reps say probably the school was using the unpaid/unsecure version. Rumors are, the person might have guessed the link.
