Desperation is pleading in log messages.

Sometimes, it feels like I should state that some of these comments were meant to be in another ticket that they approved a week or so ago. And the bugs that occur are not from my ticket or related to it.

I have learned that I hate video courses. At this point, I’d rather you give me the documentation and a task to do. I’ll survive the hard way if this is meant to be easier.

Passed probation! 🎉 Now I gotta deal with the consequences (min 116h of courses on Java/JS dev courses that don’t help me do my current job in mobile dev) and actually doing my job. But the good thing is that I can be less stressed on

[voidofambition]

On the list of things I wish I knew before doing my job so that I can do my job:

Auto enabled experimental features are horrible - verification dependency was missing due to an experimental feature filtering it out

How to use the build verification tool: build verification tool gave out a dependency verification error when there are code errors - thought that meant security invalidated it

I’m begging on a Friday afternoon, take the world’s tiniest PR. Approve how I changed just 2 characters because QA needs it for so many tickets.

I know it’s an assignment but I really do feel challenged when mathematical proofs are introduced to coding. Current problem: parity of a permutation. I questioned years of statistics classes because I can’t remember touching parity.

Just got my department assignment (waiting for team assignment) and the past 3 months were a test because now I gotta learn Kotlin.

[voidofambition]

In the end, I’ve graduated and will be joining a new employer but my god… they rushed front end so understanding React (which mixed me up with JS and HTML syntax). I still want to review but Monday morning is when things get real serious.

[voidofambition]

But also, we got professional development (that my already fried brain is not okay with) and juggling the on boarding process to the employer.

I haven't been on - been trying to focus on getting assignments done on time (success) and life (...). But let me tell you, we just started front end and if I wasn't in front end for so long, I'd be worse than I am right now. I feel horrifically bad for the rest of my teammates who are just learning HTML/CSS.

I said it was easy because - arguably it is compared to Java. But I never knew they were going to cram everything in, head to advanced materials and then make us do JavaScript and React the next day.

Can you imagine you just learned how a page is formatted with HTML and also needing to know about pseudo-elements/pseudo-classes in CSS? All in the span of 7 hours and a break for lunch?

[voidofambition]

I will take that odds

It's the break, Week 7 was done with not a single bit of effort to understand it. Which means I got time to review, on top of learning new things, on top of spring cleaning, and on top of life things.

I am questioning what it means to rest - but that'll be next Sunday. Absolutely nothing is happening. I cannot accept it.

Today[D31]: Set up DB connection via SpringBoot for FeedApp, set up User Controller, a couple of User JDBC classes. Did tomorrow's content - skimmed and will attempt the remaining user JDBC classes that we didn't do yet.

We’re behind and I’m restless. It’s not bad that we are behind - we got all day Friday and I would rather have people have their stuff working than the opposite.

But we have a break after this week and I’m feeling too ambitious because of it.

[voidofambition]

Falling into lost territory here with the shocker that I’m the lead for the week. Truly pushing my understanding with Spring Boot. We haven’t had many examples or tried to do anything yet since today was way too much theory and lots of set up.

[voidofambition]

Today[D30] - We’re done with SQL for now. 2 weeks straight of it and I’m… still trying to figure out why I dislike it.

But we got a UI reveal on the Capstone and Feed App. And I just want to tweak it. I want to hope we don’t have to make the exact same UI. I don’t care how many hours I gotta spend to learn the UI library, I will fix it.

[voidofambition]

Got myself in a mental rut and didn’t do life things that needed to be done, but I finished off whatever required grading for the entirety of Monday (minus 2 code-alongs). I’m gonna be skipping after attendance to do the life things I was supposed to do. And I will need to review the following:

Postgres: Indexing and Index Types

Group By and Order By Clauses

Distinct, Union, Intersect, and Except

Postgres: Functions

Java: File Handling
