👨‍🏫 Tips for Students

If you aren't a student, keep scrolling.

1. ask for help and be kind to yourself
2. use dev tools, always read your console, and check your inspector
3. git commit early and often, commit messages longer your code are ok
4. good communication is more important than most things

SKGov has been posting regularly at 8am with updates but occasionally saskvaccine will post seconds before them, then again a minute later.

Likely we should wait until 8:01am to update the status.
