Week 1

I Need Help With:

setting up WSL2 and ohmyzsh. Is it a good idea to just switch all programming activity to the oracle virtual machine running ubuntu?

What went well?

Already had VS code and git connected with SSH

What went less well?

setting up node was hard. Had to download version manager nvm and after a lot of effort, was able to run it on my Windows machine.
