Intro
Welcome to the latest issue of mzansi.dev 🥳

We're on the slow wind down to the end of the year. Hopefully, you've been blessed by the code freeze gods 🥶 This is the second last issue before we close off for the year.
Thanks for all the support so far. If I had one ask, it would be that you forward or share the issue with other devs. It helps the site enormously 🥰

Yours truly 🤗
