**Quote of the Digest:**

_“Don’t be fooled by Best Practices. By the time something is labeled and advertised as a Best Practice, it is just average. Following these practices only suggests you won’t be left behind, not that you will lead the pack._

_Best Practices are actually Average Practices.”_ - [Shreyas Doshi](https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1657119205291085824?ref=dmytrolitvinov.com)
