Welcome to Codú Weekly!
This is the first issue, so I thought I should introduce it.
It is a collection of articles, resources, tips, and tricks to help you become a better web developer.
Sometimes I will add my own thoughts to the start of the email, but I will aim to keep things short and valuable.

Something I have been enjoying
I am a big fan of Shane writing on Farnam Street. And this book is fantastic. When things get tough, it is likely your brain kinda checks out. Shane teaches us to get better at spotting important moments and how to use our smarts instead of instincts.
