trying to get brain back into gear after being on vacation for two weeks

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

i was stressing out the other day because I couldn't figure out how to fix my code without starting from scratch. put it aside and then woke up last night at 3am suddenly knowing how to make it work! 🥳

@DanitaCodes https://t.co/LGFagHbgnI has some gorgeous illustrations

https://t.co/EJXSeESvNM is more mix and match styles, so a lot more hit and miss

air conditioning has been broken last few days so my brain has been unable to focus on code things 😭

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

Day 13-14! #100DaysOfCode
Practiced DOM manipulation with JS, did some problem solving exercises in C++, and also started watching the CS61A lectures on internet archive and got Scheme working on my computer! 🥳

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

I took the first month or so of CS61A at Berkeley with Brian Harvey many years ago before I had to drop out of school to help take care of my dad. I eventually finished college elsewhere, but left CS and programming aside. It's time to finally pick up where I left off! 😄👍

note: do not actually look at WebKit source code 😂

Getting iOS Safari to not scroll to focused inputs is tricky, but it's possible for the determined. All you have to do is:
1. Get MBA.
2. Become CEO of Zillow.
3. Run Zillow into the ground and transfer https://t.co/abSCtZuBlb domain name to your website.

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

way too easy to fall into rabbit holes sometimes. One second you're asking yourself 'ok how does a web browser ACTUALLY work?' and the next thing you know you're looking through the WebKit source code

I'm not a stage where I need a mentor but I am at the stage where I want someone I can poke to ask stupid questions.

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

@RuthWata hahaha i love this <3
I maybeee currently have this poster on the wall 😂

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

@NakedGrammer Yep, spent some time this morning trying to get the tabs back down to a slightly more manageable amount 😅

Day 12! #100DaysofCode

Started the morning off writing a function that took a string and after a clever series of loops and methods...returned the exact same string. Whoops 😅
Things went much smoother once brain was awake though!

Also a successful Day 2 of #CodeLand22 ! 🥳🌈

[Rafael B. Pires @rafaelbpires]

Such a fantastic talk on code reviews from @techgirl1908 on @codelandconf!
Love ppl who can unravel complex subjects into little bits of understandable chunks! I feel I must save some of these lessons somewhere...🧶

Day 11! #100DaysOfCode

Spent most of the morning attending all the awesome talks at #CodeLand22 !🥳

Still managed to get in some time wrangling CSS this evening. Trying to refresh the knowledge so it'll stick long term!

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]

@LeahTCodes there's something so satisfying about using aesthetically pleasing tools 😙👌

[Carolyn @heyimcarolyn]
