I appreciated how the instructor broke down the core concepts into digestible steps. The examples were practical and mirrored what I encounter in my day-to-day work. In particular, the section on error handling and observability tied everything together. If I had a minor nitpick, it would be that the pacing sped up in the last module, but the accompanying notes and code samples made it easy to revisit and cement the ideas.
