100 days of code - day 16

31.10.23 again ?

Hello! 😊

Today I did a project with HTML, JS and CSS. It is like a pixel art canvas, you can pick a color and draw some pixels.

I'm impressed with the reduction of time that I made the project, if compared with yesterday project I was I little faster today :)

I struggled a little when trying to make the dynamic size for the canvas and the click + holding event to draw the line, but after a lot of googling I managed to do it.

This project was so fun to make. I always got excited when saw it slowly taking form.

I also added some cool buttons style:

Now I have only one project left to finish the foundation path!

That's it, I also made some rust exercises on rustlings, but not too much.

Now I'm going to 🛌😴😴😪

Day 2 : Rust and Data Structure

This is second post and I am realizing that documenting the learning progress with blog is so hard for me, I studied error handling in in Rust, I watched second lecture from Algorithms course, I understood the most of it. but when it comes to writing the blog, My brain don't know what to write and how to write ?

What I learned ? What challenges I faced ? What I found interesting ? Key takeaways ?

YEAH RIGHT!! I KNOW THEM. BUT IT'S JUST NOT COMING TO ME AT THE TIME OF WRITING.

Anyways, I still tried!!! and I will do it again tomorrow.

🦀 Rust Book: Error Handling

Today, I studied the 9th chapter of the rust book: Error handling, So, rust groups errors into two categories : recoverable and non-recoverable.

Rust has this Result type which is an enum with two variants Ok and Err. I also got to know the ? operator, which at looked like magic, it’s a shortcut to pass errors up the chain. Pretty cool, How this example

turns into just few lines of code by using ?

This chapter was easy to follow. I typed and ran all the examples, I spent 3 hours with it.

📘MIT 6.006 Introduction to Algorithms : Lecture 2

I watched 2nd lecture from the course. It was about Data Structures.

I got to know difference between interfaces and data structures. Now, I want to implement static and dynamic array and linked list from scratch.

Tomorrow's plan

I'll start the 10th chapter in rust book. Generic types and Traits and continue the 3rd lecture in the Algorithms course. Well, I want to start working on a project with Rust, right now I am thinking about writing interpreter. But, I'll wait until I complete the 12th chapter from the book.

Going from a well designed, home grown, Spring based application where I can implement a necessary piece of functionality in 5 lines of code to a purchased WYSIWYG "low code" software solution that requires several complex components that all need to interact with each other in extremely unintuitive ways really feels like the software dev equivalent of slowly pushing sharpened bamboo stakes under my goddamned fingernails

Daily Journey : Day 1

This tumblr started with me just wanting to share my coding journey in November of last year.

No pressure of wanting likes, followers or anything like that. Just share in a safe place.

And I understand that now that has changed. Now I worry about the reach of my posts, I worry about people thinking I'm a failure and that I won't get things and likes.

And all this is useless in my life. I don't have to show anyone anything and I don't need to be liked, etc.

And I don't want that for myself.

So I thought about keeping my diary about this stage in my personal life private, as I already do with my emotions/days normally.

But I also think it might be cool to have that record here.

So, for now I'm here and overcoming my desire to start a tumblr from scratch (I always start something from scratch when I want to feel free). Now this idea is not so cool in my head. But I love seeing my old posts that I was thinking about giving up and now I'm in a better place.

Anyway:

Notes on the first day.

In general, I was very anxious, insecure because I don't know how to socialize with strangers who don't know what they're going to ask me. I need to know what is going to be said or know the subject to feel good. But it was nice and fun, they made it friendly.

We introduce ourselves in a fun way to get to know each other.

We learned more about project delivery and the like.

We had a 30m class where we talked about web introduction. Like mozilla, url, domain etc.

+++ I know that on tumblr the post photo dynamic is different, but I want to keep it standard. So I will follow my rules, because this is my account.

If you are reading this post, I wish you to be well, have discipline and consistency to achieve your goals.

Update notes:

As they leave the classes recorded, I went to watch it now and found a lot of doubts.

1. I paid attention on the recording (I don't pay attention live, maybe this will improve and maybe not)

2. I wrote down the questions

3. I researched each one and left some to ask in class because they want us to do this.

And now I'm feeling productive.

I didn't let it pile up, I did what had to be done and I'm ready for tonight's class.

I think I'll set the default of my posts for after rewatching the classes.

Have a great night, afternoon or morning.

Ever grabbed a coffee from a self-service kiosk outside a cafe?

Or maybe topped up your mobile recharge at a street-side machine? Without realizing it, you’ve interacted with a major shift in how businesses operate. Outdoor kiosk technology is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s quietly disrupting traditional business models, and doing it in broad daylight. Here’s how: 🕒 24/7 Availability Traditional businesses rely on staff working hours. Outdoor kiosks? They serve customers at midnight, during holidays, and even in pouring rain. Convenience wins. 👥 Reduced Dependency on Manpower Fewer employees doesn’t mean less service, it means smarter service. A single outdoor kiosk can handle dozens of tasks without a lunch break or sick day. 🌍 Wider Reach Without Expensive Real Estate Opening new branches or stores? That’s heavy on the pocket. Deploying outdoor kiosks in key locations? It’s lean, mobile, and scalable. 🎯 Faster Customer Service From parking payments to SIM card purchases, outdoor kiosks cut the queues and put the power in the customer’s hands—literally. 💡 Real-World Example: Think about your last visit to a hospital, metro station, or even a bank. Chances are, an outdoor kiosk helped you check in, pay, or get info without waiting in line. That’s the disruption we’re talking about. And here’s the big takeaway: Businesses that embrace kiosk technology are future-proofing their customer experience. Those that don’t? Might be left catching up. 📌 If you’re a founder, decision-maker, or just someone curious about where commerce is heading—this is your sign to pay attention to outdoor kiosk innovation. Let’s not just watch the future happen. Let’s be part of building it.

100 days of code - day 20

Hi! 😵‍💫😊

Today I continued working on the calculator from the last time. I've added some style and completed the logic for the calculations.

It isn't "done" yet, I can add support to float numbers, power, and handle keyboard input. But since these features are more of the same, I don't know if I'm really going to add them 😅😴.

GIF 1 just a simple usage of the calc, GIF 2 I'm manually going to 2^31 -1, max int in C ☠️. It would be easier if I had added the power operator 😭😵‍💫.

With this project, I've completed the foundation course, and I'm going to take the node.js path. This is just the beginning !!

That's it, nothing really new for today, just practicing the concepts I learned the past week.

Day 3: Running on 4 Hours of Sleep

Today didn’t go exactly as planned. I woke up way earlier than usual and couldn’t get back to sleep, which meant I only had about 4 hours of sleep. My productivity took a hit, and even in the afternoon, I couldn’t nap to catch up.

🌄 Morning : Rust Generics

I tried studying generics in Rust in the morning, but focusing was a challenge. So I decided to put it off for later.

📘 Afternoon : MIT Algorithms, Lecture 3

In the afternoon, I went for Lecture 3 in the MIT algorithms course. It was a problem session that leaned heavily into math, and honestly, all of of was going over my head. I decided to let it go for today—might just skip this one and move on to the next lecture.

🌙 Night: Rust Generics (Take Two)

Later on, I picked up the generics chapter again from the Rust book. With a TypeScript background, I was familiar with the concept, so it made sense. I worked through the examples on using generics with functions, structs, methods, and enums.

Plan for Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I’ll continue with traits and lifetimes in Rust. For the MIT course, I think I’ll skip this math-heavy problem session and start the next lecture instead.

That’s it for today. Hoping for a better night’s sleep!

My Coding Certification Half-Sprint: Day 1/7...It Begins!

I have been seduced by learning once again!

I have one month access to an entire collection of video courses (a huge library). They come with CERTIFICATES!!!! This is both a dream and a nightmare for me. So many options is too many options! 😂😅

I want to learn it all...and I keep trying to do it! HELP!

I started out just casually looking for game design courses. Then I found UX, then UI...then a BUNCH of other things...

And now I have found coding. Something I didn't know I wanted, nay...needed!

I am going to try and record my goals for courses and understanding what I want and need next here... I am getting way too overwhelmed with all the options available. (help, I'm a baby in a candy shop!)

My goals for today:

Finish the "Career Essentials in Soft Dev" and take the test...it makes sense

At least 1 HTML course (2+ hours long each)

Finish the Accessibility course for UX (another 2hrs)

Stare down the CSS course so it gets intimidated and doesn't know that its beefy 5hrs is scary...(at least 5 mins, reapply as needed)

Finish the Figma video that I keep starting and get distracted in...poor video

Recheck job listings to make sure that the things I'm learning together make sense... "Can I sell the employee/freelancer that I'm building?" 😅😂🤣

I think that's plenty for today... If I do more I do more... I'm just finishing up the UX training and only starting the Dev stuff. 👀 wish me luck and uh...focus lol
