Well structured, in-depth course on LM Notebook. It took me a bit longer as I had to pause the screen to read the content on quantum physics, dog care and keto diets. Clearly we have similar interests :D Great idea to include plenty of diverse use cases, they helped me spot several more of my own. Excited about getting stuck in!
