Git bisect performs a binary search through your commit history to find the exact commit that introduced a bug. You mark commits as "good" or "bad" and Git narrows it down. Saved me hours of debugging today.

Einstein allegedly called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world. $1,000 invested at 7% annual return becomes $7,612 after 30 years — without adding a single dollar. Starting early matters exponentially more than the amount invested.

TCP guarantees delivery and order (great for web, email, file transfer). UDP is faster but unreliable (great for video streaming, gaming, DNS). The trade-off is reliability vs speed. Most real-time applications use UDP and handle errors themselves.
