Afterword
You made it! Get yourself some ice cream or a slice of pie: you definitely deserve it.
Will there be a chapters 8+ of the tutorial? We've spent a lot of time getting our features working but not much time with optimization and polish. Premature optimization is the root of all evil, but once your site is live and you've got real users on it you'll get a sense of what could be faster, prettier or more efficient. That's when time spent optimizing can pay huge dividends. But, discovering the techniques and best practices for those optimizations...that's a whole different story. The kind of story that Redwood loves to help you write!
So until next time, a bit of wisdom to help combat that next bout of every developer's nemesis, imposter syndrome:
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." — Ernest Hemingway
