Footnote

This quarter had the longest concept list across all of 2025 — 16 items, all unchecked. A few observations worth carrying into Q1-26:

  • Group related concepts. toReversed() vs reverse(), math.sign(), and useRouterQuery are small, standalone topics that can be knocked out in a single session. Batch them. The larger concepts — SSR, Vite internals, Nitro, and server vs client-side rendering — form a single mental model and should be studied together rather than treated as separate checklist items.
  • script setup as a compiler is a particularly useful concept to nail down since it underpins how Vue 3 SFCs actually work. Understanding it will make Composables and Compiler Directives click faster.
  • The Retrospective section was left blank. Even a few bullet points at quarter-end would make it easier to avoid repeating the same list in Q4 — which is exactly what happened.
