It's 21:09, I'm on a roll! What can one possibly do in 30 mins, not alot, but in 3.5 hrs week, a fair bit.
They say it takes 10,000 hrs to become a pro so if I do the maths ...
import math
hrs_to_be_pro = 10_000
hrs_per_week = 3.5
weeks_per_year = 52
math.ceil((hrs_to_be_pro/hrs_per_week) / weeks_per_year)
>>> 55
... 55 YEARS!? well I won't give up my day job just yet!
21:12pm Anyway Today's lesson!
It's very easy to get caught in the task just pushing forward, trying a slight change in the hope that you succeed!
This was very obvious to me today when I was coding. It's easy to just try another thing without pausing.
Whenever I pause and become aware of myself, the time that I might be wasting. I ask myself 2 questions, I know there a few sub points
So for example I was testing a web view.
Do I know the urls Do I know the expected input and output? Do I have the correct credentials Do I know the path that my request should follow
This is a very silly question that needs no explaination, but sometimes it's just too easy to loose track of the goal. This is my keep focus question
If you have ideas share them, they may be bad!
I had an idea I thought was good, but was unsure whether to bring it up as the team has been doing things a certain way for a while.
Being one of the least experienced dev's I made my notes before the meeting of why it might be a good idea, and the benefits over the current practice.
When the moment came up for it, I seized it!
People took the idea seriously, without taking my lesser experience into consideration, they talked about it and made a decision to look into it as it could be a potentially good idea.
Anyway, I'm on a put it out there roll, so this was a nice win, I appreciate that not every team is as nice and professional.
It's 20:30 and I want to try and fix the time issue as yesterday it wouldn't publish.
... date was the wrong formate, it's never YYYY-DD-MM, I must be tired!
