Reflection
Through this weekly activity, I learned about important tools and resources for web development, design, and AI. I created a ranking system to help me judge how useful each resource is and how much support it has from the community. This helped me understand how to use these tools better. I also realized how important it is to share what I learn with others, as it helps everyone learn together. In the future, I plan to keep improving my skills in evaluating resources and stay connected with other developers to keep up with new trends.
