I’ve been flying so much recently that I’m getting sick. I had a flight with a 6-hour delay that kept me up all night. Flying every weekend doesn’t really make as much sense as I thought it would.

When I built my personal project at the end of my camp experience, I decided to play around with the repository pattern a bit more, and stray from the same fileanames and folders we were taught to use.
