From Engine Swaps to App Hacks! Traveled the world as a machinist. Then, I became a Real estate agent. Coding my way to bootstrap success. 👇

Just published a new article on my blog!

Built a console app in a week to calculate custom stable prices that made me felt like a real developer for a moment. 😆

@andycroll @jeremysmithco I also would be up for this.

I have finally posted an overdue article about databases.

I wanted to improve my hour counting process, which I previously used ChatGPT for, but it was slow and clumsy.

I decided to write my own implementation in Ruby for it, but it's a subject for the next article 🫡

Thanks! Well, I couldn’t wait to start doing Rails but I told myself that if I’m starting something I will do it from A to Z. I wanted to go through all the lessons and at least know what was where, in case I get stuck doing something further down the line. It is surely time consuming though and I believe it might be beneficial to sometimes get ahead as you say, especially at times when it seems like the wall of text is never ending. 😂

It’s been a week since I started learning Rails, and it hasn’t disappointed!

Ruby was a tough first language, but after pushing through the curriculum I couldn’t be happier I chose Rails.

Everything’s clicking, and after all these documentations I have seen so far for many things Rails Guides are really outstanding.

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@Benjaminbenkert Agree! :D

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@zhephyn Yes I did one for my friend! I’ve done it in Ruby and he is using it. Once I’m more familiar with Rails I’ll rewrite it for them. I described this process in this article on my blog https://t.co/hcmBh7YZo0

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@o_j_nelson Being the first language haha. I went through JS in the odin project foundation but not so deep like with Ruby. Now I wouldn’t really work with other things

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@AmiasYaska Yup! There are some projects coming soon after Views lesson ;)

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@jeremysmithco @rhiannon_io I would be in for this the next year as well! ;)

[Jeremy Smith @jeremysmithco]

New article on my blog!

This time it took me 211,5 hours to go through the The Odin Project intermediate CSS section 💪

I’m a bit behind on publishing, but the next articles will come out much quicker, one after the other.

I will do my best! 😃

After over a week of holiday spent with my family I’m back to the odin project! Just started Rails lessons! Couldn’t wait to be honest!

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@rails I am going to start mixing it into The Odin Project Rails lesson next week. I can bet it will go well together 😃

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

I have finally made this to the databases project!

It was a little bit of reading to be gone through but it was quite enjoyable I have to say 😁

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

I have just created profile on Ruby Friends app that @joemasilotti has recently created

Feel free to add me to your friend list! 😉

Just spent 3 hours diving into some surprisingly interesting SQLite docs about indexing and query planning. 📚

Haven’t finished databases yet, so not sure how common this is among devs but wow, understanding this feels like a secret hack to speed up future apps.

Totally worth pushing through the 'boring' bits!

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@is_h80h Well, yep, there are so many options with forms, either in HTML and in CSS when it comes time to style them in different configurations like :hover, :active and so on :D Grid was waaaay simplier :D

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

I have just finished the last project from the Intermediate HTML and CSS Course on The Odin Project!

It's been a blast to go through this section so far! I learned a ton, and GRID is going to be one of the most important tools from now on. 🔲🔳

I can't wait to get to Rails 🛤️

[Blazej @CodeByBlazej]

@is_h80h Great! You wont be disappointed, it’s easy to grasp on ;) I found forms sometimes more complicated than grid
