love reconnecting with people from like middle school & just picking up right where we left off 😄 putting me onto some great music too. life is good

Making some more 6502 progress, very fun language to work in

big things going on at work! will share when i am certain 😄

Learning 6502 over the weekend so I can write some NES games. So far this is what i got ... mario screenwrapping it's a start!

Huge lesson I've had to learn. Leave work at work. If you're super interested in a problem & finding a solution, I'm sure it'll keep you engaged at work tomorrow

When I started getting into React I used to hear a lot about how Redux is overcomplicated and frustrating. Gotta say, after two months working professionally w/ it, i don't share those sentiments at all. It's actually very intuitive & fun to work with at scale.

When starting at work, I was really nervous about code reviews. Having someone else look at and critique your code. But i really look forward to them now. They give me an opportunity to learn & understand how to better work in our codebase. They are seriously invaluable 😁

First Day Fit!! (manbun not pictured 😂)

23 trips around the sun 🎉 Had a really great week, and I'm really proud of myself and my growth these last few months. Also, I'm very fortunate to have such selfless and positive friends and family in my life. Thank you all for pushing me to be better every day 💕

Hey friends, Didn't want to say anything until it was official... I got a job!!!! I will be starting in two weeks as a React developer for Charter Spectrum 🥳🎉 Huge step for me, and I am really excited 😁 Thank you so much for all your support during this journey!!

Also, going to be taking a small pause on my 100 Days, maybe a week or so. I have some personal stuff I have to deal with this week, and I really need the time off. Going to be reading gameprogrammingpatterns.com/ though, just to keep sharp and bc it looks very interesting 😁

Day 83 of #100DaysOfCode Nice day today. Spent some more time reading Redux docs and practiced more w/ TypeScript. Nothing too crazy, but really want to use TypeScript as my daily driver. Saves me a lot of time debugging during development😅

Day 82 of #100DaysOfCode Finished up FCCs React and Redux content and read more of the Redux docs to further solidify my understanding. Gotta say, I definitely understand the gripes with it. The boilerplate & logic is kind of nonsensical. But overall, not too bad so far 😋

Day 81 of #100DaysOfCode Spent some time retooling my modal designs & rehashing the layout of my flash card app in Figma 😊 Also had to refactor some code to better account for the state I was using across my components. And ended the day with some CSS 😉 Next: Jest & React!!

Day 80 of #100DaysOfCode - Revisited some DS & A today, particularly matrix questions as these are my biggest weak spot by far😅 - Also went and finished some designs for my flashcards & began working on the modal representation for individual cards Still loving React!!!!

Also the whole code splitting and prefetching with NextJS is genius, i see why it's such a popular framework

Day 79 of #100DaysOfCode nice relaxing day today 😋 been a bit busy outside of code - Finished up the Redux section on FCC & started the one on React w/ Redux - Also, started reading the NextJS documentation, what a neat framework. So much packaged in, can't wait to use it 😁
