Added a readme for `Optional`. It includes: - An explanation of why you might want to use `Optional` - an overview of the `Optional` interface - An example using `Optional` to simplify code Check it out and let me know what you think!

Tired of manually checking `if(value === null) {...}` before using a value? I made a better Option(al)! Instead of writing functions that return `Result | null`, wrap the result in an `Optional`. With an Optional it's possible to do things like `maybeString().map( s=>s.length ).value_or(0)`.

TIL that Mexico takes their elections seriously in a couple unique ways compared to the US: 1. They have their elections on a weekend so it is easier for everyone to vote 2. During election weekend, alcohol sales are banned (exception for tourist areas but require it be served with food)

TIL the history of sort() and toSorted() in JS! It turns out sort came first and was in-place. When it came time to add a non-mutating sort, @ashley-c.bsky.social went with a separate method to be consistent with other langs (python, kotlin) and containers (Record, Tuple). The more you know 🧠

The highest pace of learning I had was building game engines. I went deep on so many topics - generic interfaces and API design, memory management, performance optimization, parallelism, data structures, etc. I even got involved in c++ standardization! Trying to improve the wheel is 🧠📈📈
