You nailed it! Loved the idea that teaching aspiring devs using visual metaphors makes the entry point more accessible to diverse learners. Can't wait to see the illustrations coming to my inbox from illustrated.dev! ☺️

Wow, everyone on my timeline is raving about your awesome use of illustrations to explain abstract React concepts.... which lead me to spend the last hour looking at your work and reading illustrated.dev. Incredible work, congratulations!
