New landing page - optimize code

[lwasser]

to avoid too much nesting, I've created a new section that is now called code-workflow-logic, but I think a better name could be "optimize code". This section will contain all of the checks, functions, and conditional-related lessons! we could create an overview of this section as a landing page. right now, I just used the About Functions page as an intro. but I think we could create a powerful page on the power of optimizing code for maintainability, effectiveness, and efficiency!

see here: https://www.pyopensci.org/lessons/

We could rename code-checks to be optimize your code and then have a landing page there

@lwasser I love your improvement with the latest PR #48 ☀️

[lwasser]

oooh thank you, @willingc !! 🚀 I really find the quick iterations on PRs that you suggested to be invaluable! vs than getting stuck on bigger PR's that seem to grow over time! So thank you for that guidance!!

i also love it :)

if it was me, i would make one section "writing functions" and have that be the first four things in the code checks list there, and then "Handling variation" for conditionals and exceptions, but i don't have the full scope of the topics you want to cover, so you're the better judge!

[lwasser]

@sneakers-the-rat you know - because these lessons have come together so quickly, i didn't fully flesh out the scope. With that said - I don't think they will change dramatically at this point now that I'm on to working on the share and publish code lessons.

So. if you would like to make a small pr with an updated homepage org following the suggestion above, it's welcome!! I suspect a year from now we will have a better grasp on all of the content!

[sneakers-the-rat]

I was gonna say, cooking up new lessons up to the last minute sounds like exactly how i work, but i think capping it with a little breathing room is probably a good idea ;)

[lwasser]

HAH! I've never pulled together this much content quite this quickly. I think the particularly unique element of this is that you and Carol and Jeremy all seem to be right there and ok with the pace of things!!

This has made it really fun seeing it all come together.

[sneakers-the-rat]

basically i am working, finish a chunk, my notifications are flooded, and so i get to take a 10m break seeing what you're up to. it's a good vibe.
