today’s to-do list: 2 wins, 1 loss & lots of coffee

today's checklist

  • redo github bio

  • react course on front end development libraries track from freecodecamp

  • fully finish coding homepage of blog (except functionality of search bar)

coffee, coffee, and more coffee

reacting to react with a coffee overload

three coffees in a day? normally i have two at most (plus a matcha if i wanna top that record), but today, achilles heel of wordy tutorials took the fall; i could not concentrate at all. (oo that rhymes!!)

this was the first time i had worked with react, and built a project properly. here are some of my comments on freecodecamp's react course within the front end development libraries track:

  • the first few lessons were fine but as it reached the half way mark, wording increased, and my attention span decreased
  • something i noticed about the library syntax freecodecamp was teaching was that its slightly outdated
  • in app.js or index.js?
  • while the course is only 47 lessons long (which is a doable amount in a day for me), its quite a lot to take in

...and by 11.22 i finished this sass course.

three coffees later, it was 16.43 and i had finally finished the course (note, i usually do learning in the morning and finish before lunch).

a sequel to "github profiles have their own readme's?!!"

by 17.35 i finished updating my github bio - nothing too fancy.
