Me grinding leetcode:

Surely I'm going to need this in the real world right? ...right??

Nice one! Looks very clean!

Thanks for the suggestion!

About to finish the current book (sci-fi) I'm reading, wanting to move onto something programming related.

Any suggestions on programming books for someone at the junior level?

Now moving on to Databases now. Feeling good. On a side note, I saw a guy at the hardware store with a "Will code SQL for food" t-shirt on. Maybe I should have asked him for some pointers 😉

I may have some food somewhere...

Oh I totally know what you mean 😂

This was my hardest part so far in my journey, everything is brand new, don't give up!

I've got some news to share.

Bad news:
Got roasted for not keeping my PUT route idempotent.

Good news:
I now know what idempotence is.

Funny news:
Mac-OS spell checker also doesn't know what idempotence is.

YouTube video by Michigan TypeScript showing TypeScript's creator DOOM | Anders Hejlsberg | TypeScript Showcase #11

✨What a dream come true!✨ The co-creator of @typescriptlang.org himself, Anders Hejlsberg, took some time to look at the Doom project!

We also had a chance to chat about other TypeScript topics more broadly - and that video will go live in a few days!

DREAM. COME. TRUE.🚀

I've been working on building my first API this morning, just finished up the GET routes.

I got one about half as long when I tried to get an LLM to build me one. It didn't work.

Trying to get into the habit of when building an algorithm, to write it out in pseudo-code first. It really helps to structure my approach and not lose track of where I am in the process.

It is addictive!

Crazy!! Congratulations on this Herculean task!

the famous "ULTIMATE DOOM" poster, but it says "TYPESCRIPT TYPES"

Doom now runs in @typescriptlang.org types. What a journey this one's been.

Just completed my 100th Kata on Codewars!

haha, yeah I've recently realised how much my IDE was doing for me when I (tried to) read someone else's code written in notepad. It gave me that aha moment and helped me realise the importance of things like indentation and syntax highlighting.

I'm a T shaped developer, my code is shaped by my morning Tea!

Cheers!

Completed the currency converter app. I had fun!

Built using:
Node.js
Express.js
EJS
Axios
Frankfurtur API

Might be worth it. I can only speak for myself here, but I don't want to go back to Twitter.

Yes that's it! Just finished it today.

Working on a currency converter app in order to practice using API's and Axios. #100Devs

Been learning how to use them to connect different apps. Just tackled a project with the Google Maps API – getting the distances and times to calculate correctly was a fun challenge!

Your solution is very readable. Another option would be to use a ternary operator.

I'm with you man, I find out every day that I don't actually know how to code.

Currently learning about API's. Really starting to "open up" now.

You're more than welcome!

Hi Alison, what really helped me when I started here was to just watch some beginner youtube video's about the platform. I was never a big Twitter user so even basic things were tricky for me to figure out on my own. That being said, things could be easier.

I've heard Python is a much more beginner friendly programming language and is better for working with numbers.
