# TIL (Today I Learned)
A collection of small snippets that I learn day to day across a variety of tasks I am
involved in. Often, they are curious and useful insights that I wish to share with
everyone but are too short for a full blog post.
Browse them here [til.raivivek.in](https://til.raivivek.in).
