Quote of the Week: *"If you ever throw out an ‘I love you’ and don’t get an ‘I love you’ in return, follow it up with: ‘React is great too. But there’s something I just love about Vue.’ This will save you some embarrassment."* — Adam Wathan, Developer and Creator of Tailwind CSS (Get it? ‘I love Vue’)
