Review on Chapter 7 and 8 Boundaries and Error Handling. 3rd party APIs have been something I never really understood or never really handled well. This chapter shed some light on best practices on handling APIs and setting boundaries for user control. I think returning obscure error codes is also a bad practice for newer languages when assertions and throwing errors feels better.

Review on chapters 5 and 6. I thought most of the formatting chapter was fairly self-explanatory, formatting being a team decision, and formatting assists in code readability. The chapter on objects was a tough read because it delves on the intricacies of data structures vs objects and how they are distinct. I disagreed on most of the final parts of this chapter.
