    // Add your events here, the name of the event is the name of the function
    login: async (username: string) => {
      services._socket.data.user = { username };
      console.log(`User ${username} logged in`);

That role is something I do in a few ways (as a parent, robotics mentor, school board advisor and Sunday school teacher) and I suspect most HN readers share the same role and appreciation. And for developing software skills, it was obvious that both the students and I had to have a productive software environment where we could work together. That theme of experienced/inexperi
