Does anyone else have dreams about coding? Like I figure out my real world coding problems in my sleep, it's weird.

Day 3 of coding for a year. I'm a bit late posting this, because I passed out 😅

Last night I worked on the backend of getting the tasks implemented and my husband was getting notifications to work correctly. We had some snags with notifications since we've never done that before (I'm thankful for friends and videos online)

Today I'll be hooking up the tasks with front end work using xaml and testing.

Decided to start my year with a personal challenge of coding something everyday for the whole year, and at the end of the year I'll have a reflection on my journey and what I've learned.

Today on day 1 I am working on a task management application in .Net Maui. This project will be for my personal use since I'm making it the exact way I want to make a task app vs what I've gotten before through Google Play.

So far I will say I'm enjoying working with C# 12 and .Net 8. Maui has been enjoyable so far despite me not being 100% comfortable with front end work. I'm working on the settings page currently and I'll be adding theme settings for the application.

See y'all tomorrow same time 😎

Day 7 of coding everyday for a year! It's kind of a late night this time lol.

My husband and I worked hard at it today! I added the task page functionality and UI and my husband helped me with things I didn't fully know how to do. It's great being married to senior dev lol

Tomorrow we are adding subtasks to the add/edit task functionality, and more notification work!

Taking a break from coding for the afternoon and enjoying some nature with my corgs.

The birthday girl! She turned 1 year old today! She's become more than just a dog to me. She is truly my soul dog!

I am not dead just severely busy! Days 74-109. I have so much to talk about this time!

So at work (Can't show that due to NDA) I've been bug chasing, and ultimately having to restructure many classes and methods to make one function work as intended.

Then for my C# final I'm still working on my .Net Maui project I finished the journals implementation, and added the event reporting function. I added the events to the journal entry for the day. If there are no entries yet it makes one. I am going to be using the library of microcharts that were used in xamarin (before Xamarin got depreciated into .Net Maui) now it can be used for .Net Maui. I'll be capturing data gathered in the journals to display on graphs to track progress in sleep disorders. At a later time I'll be getting it set up to grab information from sleep tracking apps on mobile.

In C++ my final is to make a game. I am making an adventure game where you can explore a village. It has lore, Easter eggs, and fun imagery (it's a console game unfortunately can't do Unreal). I have to change the code a bit but it has been fun to code!

I might have a contract role coming up for another game studio, so that's exciting.

My plans for the next few days is to get some functionality on the statistics tab in my Maui app, and get my C++ project more put together. At work I'm waiting on the senior dev to plan out how to fix the massive problem we have.

I'm feeling a lot of imposter syndrome lately, and it's really bothering me. I just want it to go away. I know I'm a junior level dev, but even my senior level dev husband feels imposter syndrome too, so I'm probably going to be plagued with this off and on.

So I'm debating on switching over to Godot or unreal. Unity really shot itself in the foot! My friend who works at Unity said he might quit along with others, because the work environment has become toxic. I really don't want to switch game engines now after making 9 games in Unity...

What's the real kicker is that I wanted to one day work at unity too... yeah not anymore.

Day 5 of coding everyday for a year!

I did a lot today! I implemented the UI for the task list including subtasks, and task details. Crossing off a task if IsCompleted is true. Using many types of tasks such as one time, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Husband worked on more notification work. I think we will get this done before the weekend is over for sure!

Next things to go is edit/add task, getting notifications working for reminders about tasks, and more testing.

Well my bank just released a new banking app with really bad bugs 💀 well I might as well shoot my shot while I'm at it 🤷‍♀️

[codingcorgi]

Today I went through loops in my Java class! It's so similar to C# I breezed through it, well except for math because math is my enemy (but we are getting on better terms). I'm starting to appreciate Java more honestly, and I'm even practicing it for fun in intelliJ 😎

Days 50-62 of coding everyday for a year! I'm not dead!

I have worked on C# and C++ so much in the last days of development. I haven't posted because I've been so busy with school. I'm on the president's honor roll so I'm working hard to maintain that. I have been working on setting up my .Net Maui application that I'll be using as my C# project final. I'm also going to be doing my C++ midterm this coming week.

I'll be working on getting my project started. Studying for my midterm, and learning as I go.

[codingcorgi]

Back into my comfort zone of C # I decided to work on the crafting system for the template. Still a bit unsure about using Unity, but the boss said it was fine so 🤷‍♀️. Also Rider is amazing I highly recommend it over visual studio!

Day 13-14 coding progress. Well got a migraine last night and passed out, and had my game development class to teach today, so I finally got time in the evening.

Yesterday I made a sword in Asset Forge for getting things ready for the upcoming game jam! Today I decided to get back to my Maui app which is now called Puppy Tasks. I am having issues as you can see... I can't get my Moods enum to show up correctly. I've tried 2 different ways of implementing this and I'm so frustrated. Any help would be appreciated.

Tomorrow I'll be working at this problem more until it's fixed

Days 47-50 of coding everyday for a year... It's been stressful

So I worked on with the image on top a game in Unity. I made a reverse murder mystery visual novel for Brackeys game jam. The bottom was me getting a feel for C++ still. Tbh I'm still kind of lost with it, but I'm trying. (it's just so different from C# in some ways). I'm also doing a small coding challenge every morning after I've had my coffee with C# since that's the language I'm going to base most of my career off of (I can do Java/Kotlin, and C++ but C# is special)

Here's a link to the game...

The next few days I'll be working on more C++, and my .Net Maui project. I also might be practicing some coding interview questions/tests since the summer is coming up soon (I did make an impressive fizzbuzz with a twist)
