(https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS) You Don't Know JS is a series of books that dives deep into the inner workings of JavaScript. Written by Kyle Simpson, these books explore topics like scope, closures, and prototypes, helping you master JavaScript's more complex concepts.

3. You-Dont-Know-JS

There are 6 books, the author recommends reading them in an order:

If the second edition is not available, you can read the first edition, just be aware some small things may be slightly out of date.

I also understood the importance of reading great books on software engineering; in my case You don't know JS by @getify 👏 basically cured my depression and drop of self-esteem.

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
