Boost Badges: Level One, Basics

Basics, level one, is where you get an initial introduction, often guided, to the idea or skill. You gain just enough experience and knowledge to make a decision about whether to pursue further learning in that area.

For example, the nano editor is not recommended, but one might never understand why unless they had a basic understanding of it, unless they had tried it. For some there might be a compelling reason to pursue learning nano further, for most not. You could make the same example with something from the non-tech world, like Basket Weaving or Pottery. Dismissing something you haven’t even tried is usually a bad idea. There’s no shame in getting the Nano Boost Badge, it means you can debate about its value more responsibility having tried it despite everyone’s recommendation against it. Same for Emacs, or VSCode.
