I’ll keep this short and sweet because I’m tired. First I worked on Codecademy, starting over from the very beginning. Surprisingly, I learned a lot doing this, more than I think the first time I did it. When it came to hashes/array, I was shocked to see that one of the things that I really stumbled on was how to create a key/value pair in a hash, but also iterating over an array. Apparently it went right over my head the first time. Anyways. As the title excitedly says, I was able to finish 19 problems from the first two exercise sets. Some of the problems weren’t too difficult; using the pedac process takes the work out of it and by the time I get to the actual code, it’s more or less figured out, save for a few tweaks. I’m proud of that at least. Tomorrow I will do more, but I’m done for today. 6 hours of work was done today my dude!

On a side note, I was thinking of starting a video series log, or vlog, to share my experiences or maybe so that I could record myself writing/speaking code. It might be helpful for my future self to look back on what I’m doing. I know off the top of my head that I tend to play with my hair a lot and say ‘um’. Maybe making a video every friday that shows me explaining one of the problems I solved would be enough. I doubt anyone will watch but at least there’s something out to the world. A lot of people do it, why can’t i?
