This is the fourth week I’ve been cooped up at home. I don’t want to read code, I don’t want to read technical articles, and I can’t learn happily. How can I be a good requirements digester? Is there an easy way to learn technology? Remember when I was a child jinshan typing, playing and learned to type, Bingo! It’s time to find out what fun games on GitHub are for learning while playing.
