~ is a shortcut for our "home directory". It will be in a place like /Users/<your-user-name>
mkdir stands for "make directory", and it allows us to create new folders on the machine

• design minimalist web pages to include more white space so that navigation is simple

Have you ever been in a team setting where the differences between introverted and extroverted working styles was clear. What were the benefits and challenges of the styles?
