Part I: Beware Solidity Devs, you might just hit your contract size limit

It's quite imperative for you as a Smart Contract Developer to always be within the pre-defined Smart Contract Bytecode size limit. Wait, What is Bytecode? 🤔 In very simpler terms, Humans understand Solidity, but EVM understands Bytecode. Bytecode is the low-level language that our solidity smart contracts (a high-level
