Just like with my art, I like to revisit old coding projects.

First image is from a class project I did about a year ago using the Open Weather API. Weather graphics are mine. It's built entirely in vanilla JavaScript.

Second image is the attempt I'm currently working on. Same API, same graphics, but now in React instead of just pure JS. I'm pretty satisfied with the new results.

"Stop Romanticizing Tech" 👩‍💻 Software Engineer's Realistic Day

i've heard a lot of peers in tech say they wish people would "stop romanticizing tech" because of their personal experience with burnout and stress and more recently, AI and layoffs. all their complaints resonated with me and for a time, i also saw each day as a painful slog.

but i think just a pinch of romanticism and optimism can go a long way towards seeing possibilities and opportunities where others may not. we're already here, after all, at this point of uncertainty and chaos. if we tell ourselves that we can't see it any other way, we only suffer twice.

so regardless of your circumstances, i hope that as you acknowledge the reality, you also see everything that could be 💛

morning!! 🌇

woke up 30 minutes before my alarm!! ⏰ been trying to fix my sleep schedule / body clock, so this is a major win!

leisurely morning routine and breakfast before work is sooooo important!! 🥞

peer-review code (~13x!!)🏃‍♀️

fixed a major bug!! 🐛 and two other bugs i found because i'm an overachiever like that 💁‍♀️

went to an interesting lunch and learn!! 😋

afternoon... 🏙️

hot-fix!! 🔥🚒 (for a component that somehow got left out of a recent migration...)

meeting with some beta testers that went really well ☺️ i'm so proud since i led the project and endured a lot... like, A LOT for it 🥲

another meeting, this time to finalize documentation across teams in preparation for release... kinda boring tbh, but necessary 🤝

set up even MORE monitoring in preparation for release + clean up some tech debt while i'm at it 🖥️

evening~ 🌆

meetings with my manager and manager's manager 💼 i can't deal with office politics, tbh, so i just view these as catch ups with older friends who i happen to work with...

internal testing meeting for a colleague's project~ 👏

company-wide meeting~ (basically my time to be nosy about all the other departments) 👀

💌: until next time~! 🧡

cozy at home study vibes

the past few days have been so stupid at work :/ i'm so ready for the weekend. Hunkering down for the rest of the night to finish my section on HTML then moving onto CSS if I can stay awake :) first picture is a small snippet I wrote while doing my course yesterday

[berry-codes]

Roadmap of learning (curriculum related) so far & how far I am in each🫧

• C# - spent ~8 months so far practicing, can also use Razorpages

• HTML & CSS - started ~a month ago, somewhat confident in both, still much to learn

• JavaScript + Vue - just started learning it, building small apps everyday (love JS!!)

• REST - very inexperienced in this, need much more practice .. wished I was much more better at this than I am rn, but nevertheless still new

• Postman testing of APIs - understood the basics of it! :’)

* Unit testing & UI testing - love UI testing so far🥹 Unit testing not so much

* Azure - I host my lil apps on the cloud now !!

sunday, january 28th, 2024 | 13/100 days of productivity

as the weekend winds down, I tend to stress about all the things that I wanted to do that I didn't do - hobbies, going out for long walks, things like that. I'm trying to be gentle with myself. there's no need to maximize, I have plenty of time, and time spent resting is time well spent.

as a side note, I read the first murderbot book last night! I settled in to read a chapter or two but ended up finishing the whole thing because I was having a good time & I didn't realize it was so short. I placed a hold on the second book & I'm looking forward to reading it, but it'll be a long wait - all of the murderbot books have like 10 week wait times at my library haha.

today's productivity:

reviewed far too many anki cards lol

did chores & cleaned up around the house

today's self-care:

wrote some entries in my commonplace book & caught up on the backlog of articles in my RSS reader

skipped some of the items on my todo list - I think I needed the rest today haha

Jolyne Kujo Portfolio | #3

Thursday 11th January 2024

So I turned this project idea into actual code. Just some simple HTML, CSS (SCSS) and JavaScript code, nothing fancy~! In my lunch break now so thought I would post a quick update on how it's going~! My beautiful Jolyne Kujo portfolio page is coming together nicely~! 😩🙌🏾

Created the repo for this project

Overall structure of the "desktop" GUI look

Completed the login page

JS code behind the taskbar icons (at least 2 of them for now but easy to replicate for the others)

Oooo cool loading screen (was really happy it worked~)

Sticky note thingy? in CSS? cool

Semi-responsive on different screens (curse you mobile screen sizes)

Pop up window for the different sections?!? WHAT (only one right now but easy to replicate for the others)

Jolyne Kujo.

That's all for now and for the rest of my lunch I'm going to watch JOJO~!

firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!

FullStack Roadmap Inspo | Resources ✨

I started finding things on LinkedIn that i thought was really insightful for me so I compiled a bunch of them and will start slowly adding them to a shared Google Drive folder for people to look at!

This file is a FullStack Roadmap for people who want to become FullStack Developers! Remember to also check out roadmap.sh for more details!

FullStack Developer: A developer who works on the client side (user interface) and server side (server, database) of a web application, covering the entire "stack" of technologies involved in building a website or web application!

Mini React.js Tips #1 | Resources ✨

I thought why not share my React.js (JavaScript library) notes I made when I was studying! I will start from the very beginning with the basics and random notes I made along the way~!

Up first is what you'll need to know to start any basic simple React (+ Vite) project~! 💻

What you'll need:

node.js installed >> click

coding editor - I love Visual Studio Code >> click

basic knowledge of how to use the Terminal

What does the default React project look like?

Step-by-Step Guide

[ 1 ] Create a New Folder: The new folder on your computer e.g. in Desktop, Documents, wherever that will serve as the home for your entire React project.

[ 2 ] Open in your coding editor (will be using VSCode here): Launch Visual Studio Code and navigate to the newly created folder. I normally 'right-click > show more options > Open with Code' on the folder in the File Explorer (Windows).

[ 3 ] Access the Terminal: Open the integrated terminal in your coding editor. On VSCode, it's at the very top, and click 'New Terminal' and it should pop up at the bottom of the editor.

[ 4 ] Create the actual React project: Type the following command to initialize a new React project using Vite, a powerful build tool:

npm create vite@latest

[ 5 ] Name Your Project: Provide a name for your project when prompted.

[ 6 ] Select 'React' as the Framework: Navigate through the options using the arrow keys on your keyboard and choose 'React'.

[ 7 ] Choose JavaScript Variant: Opt for the 'JavaScript' variant when prompted. This is the programming language you'll be using for your React application.

[ 8 ] Navigate to Project Folder: Move into the newly created project folder using the following command:

cd [your project name]

[ 9 ] Install Dependencies: Execute the command below to install the necessary dependencies for your React project (it might take a while):

npm install

[ 10 ] Run the Development Server: Start your development server with the command (the 'Local' link):

npm run dev

[ 11 ] Preview Your Project: Open the link provided in your terminal in your web browser. You're now ready to witness your React project in action!

Congratulations! You've successfully created your first React default project! You can look around the project structure like the folders and files already created for you!

How I do come up with coding/programming projects?

Saturday 6th January 2024

Pinterest is the love of my life (after Jesus), I love that site so much! So many people have asked where I get inspiration for my projects and 99.99% of the time I saw a pin on Pinterest~!

How I find the design inspirations is by searching things like:

web design

notion templates

app design

ux ui design

powerpoint template

then I put them into a Pinterest board and refer back to them in the future! Most times I add my own twist to the designs because I want to make it more personalised to what I want!

But yeah, try pinterest! Find your interest and search on Pinterest for inspiration! PIN your INTEREST~! 🙌🏾🖤

First day at new job!

Monday 8th January 2024

OMG today was the best! The new job’s office (not in the picture background, I'm at the doctor's there...) has so many cool chill people in it, so far I wanna stay here forever!

Had induction meetings, and a tour around the office, everything was so cool! Another 2 people joined so I wasn’t entirely nervous thinking I’m the only one who would be confused on the whole onboarding process. Work’s in an old-like building with a Grunge aesthetic vibe going on, absolutely love it! And music plays in the background which is so much better than the old job which was in complete silence 🤐

I'm just super excited to start working on the project + the team seem, and are, super friendly and helpful! Thank God for a smooth process getting here, yay!

New Years Resolutions #3: Work hard and do well in new job!
