Code Review Exercise: Literacy not required | The Unlikely Coder

https://ginnabaker.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/code-review-exercise-literacy-not-required

Mis}adventures in web development. Code Review Exercise: Literacy not required. Engineering blogger Rob Heaton inspired me with a new idea on how to start code reviews. In Code Review Without Your Glasses. I love this idea. Here’s a sample of a JavaScript function I wrote a year ago, now blurred. Take a quick look — I’m seeing a few red flags at a glance:. The long line toward the bottom will cause legibility issues and trip me up later; should be split into multiple lines. Once I un-blurred the text, my...

Healthy Coding | The Unlikely Coder

https://ginnabaker.wordpress.com/gadgets-2

Mis}adventures in web development. One of my biggest fears on becoming an engineer was the physical toll. In the past, I’ve had pinched nerves and back pain, so I knew I’d need to take special care of my body. Every day, more products are available to help computer users work more comfortably. Some of my go-to products (and none of these are sponsoring me, btw):. I’ve been using this Ergotron. Where you can find out which monitors work with which standing desk models. Dry eyes: Flax seed. Was a life save...

Problem? No problem. | The Unlikely Coder

https://ginnabaker.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/problem-no-problem

Mis}adventures in web development. Painful revelation #5473984 since beginning to code: I need better problem-solving habits. Sure, I’m plenty smart and can use problem solving skills if I really need to, but step-by-step problem-solving is not yet second-nature. I didn’t realize how sloppy my problem-solving process was until I started school last year. At that point, I had been doing JS on my own for about 9 months, and my approach to problem solving was as follows:. Print out my entire database. Somet...

git commit -nam “WIP: streamline commits” | The Unlikely Coder

https://ginnabaker.wordpress.com/2015/05/27/git-commit-nam-wip-streamline-commits

Mis}adventures in web development. Git commit -nam “WIP: streamline commits”. One of the biggest changes I’ve seen as I embrace full-time engineering has been in my git habits. Over the past few months, I’ve become much more focused in my commits, confining them to one feature or bug fix. See Exhibit A:. In fact, six months ago, my average commit was 390 changes. Now, my average commit has only 49 changes. Goodbye, blogging — streamlining commits is my new artform. ;). May 27, 2015. You are commenting us...

Mis}adventures in web development. 2016: Ten Tiny Projects. At the beginning of 2015, while preparing to start my first full-time JavaScript role, I set some pretty ambitious goals for the year. Things like reading ES6 (all of it), learning ReactJS, making a major d3JS web app. Looking back at the long list of goals, I made progress on several of them, but not as much as I had hoped. Realistic goal setting? To be fair, I did start several personal projects, but they were just too ambitious:. If this soun...

Mis}adventures in web development. Software engineer specializing in frontend web and MVC frameworks. I just realized that this month is the 2-year anniversary of starting school at Fullstack. I’ve been programming full-time ever since, and knock on wood, haven’t gotten sick of it yet! And when our in-house d3 wrapper needed to be expanded to include a new kind of chart, as well as adapted to some new data, guess who got tapped? 8221; And then somehow, impossibly, I would figure out the next step.
