Day 2 of my 30-Day tech growth

Hey HN! Day 2 of my 30-day tech growth challenge is complete Yesterday, i built a simple CLI app to collect and display my favorite quotes. Today i upgraded it by introducing file handling so that quotes are now saved permanently in a 'quotes.txt' file - even after i close the program. Here's what i added: 1. Saving quotes to a file using python's 'open()' function 2. Reading the quotes back into the app when it starts 3. Deleting quotes from the file based on the user's input 4. Building the habit of breaking logic into clean, reusable functions

It's simple, but this shift from "just printing stuff" to actually storing and manipulating data feels like a major step forward. It's like i gave my program a memory. I'm documenting everything as i go, and i'll keep posting my daily progress to keep myself accountable and growing in public. Thanks again to the HN folks who encourage me on Day 1 - you're awesome!
