Arrays vs Objects, Dynamic Content, and a Deep Dive into Git Stash
A heavier session today — some solid React mental models and then a proper deep dive into Git stash and diff commands. The kind of stuff that makes you feel a lot more comfortable in the terminal. Arrays and Objects — They Work Differently, Treat Them Differently In React (and JavaScript in general) these two are not interchangeable and the way you access data from each one reflects that.
