Issue #564

October 17, 2023

Friends,

Last week, I shared my course, Mastering Linting, along with a coupon code for a 40% discount at checkout for the Masterclass package. I messed it up, though. The coupon wasn’t working, and I realized it only a few days ago.

Many of you bought the course in that period, so if you tried to use the coupon code but it didn’t work, please get in touch, and we’ll find a way to get you the promised discount. šŸ™‚

And the coupon code CSSFRIENDS for 40% off will be active for another week in case you still haven’t checked out the course.

Thank you,
Zoran Jambor
