@ThePrimeagen Spotted at #DDDSW2025. Had an amazing time, thank you everyone!

[David Smith @dave_probably]

The side-project is going well. 😅

[David Smith @dave_probably]

Began working on a little side-project for a game I enjoy. I'm going to try to post my rants here when I inevitably get stuck. If all goes well, you won't hear much from me..

@ThePrimeagen
My wife said you 'look like the plumbers in Poland, so you're not to be trusted.' Rest assured, I'm serving the divorce papers tomorrow and growing a moustache.

This is an appreciation post for @CodeSharePaul and his Umbraco series. If any of my followers are considering working with Umbraco, check out his videos on YouTube. They're awesome. Saved me a lot of headache. #umbraco #CMS

I'm convinced that the hardest part of starting a new project is starting it. #javascript #webdevelopment

100days done again!
Making a start on the TOP tic-tac-toe project. Started with some tutorials to get a feel for how to begin.

Factory functions, inheritance in factory functions, scope & closure and lastly, module patterns. A lot to cover this time!

The Odin Project library project is almost finished. Today I added read/not read + remove button functionality. I also made sure it's working for mobile too!

The Odin Project library project is now in full swing. Today I've added the ability to add the book to the page. Still a long way to go!

Returning to The Odin Project and continuing with the Book Library OOP project. Quite intimidating getting back to it after so long.

Saving & removing data in localStorage + resetting the App. The project is finished but my confidence in OOP is still definitely lacking. On to the next I suppose.

@DThompsonDev Definitely would have simply stuck to The Odin Project rather than trying to complete several courses at once. Easily my biggest regret.

Finally closing in on the end of the Tracalorie App project. Today I set-up local storage for my app data.

Feeling extremely overwhelmed with this Tracalorie project. I'm barely managing an hour per study session just to make sure I can break down what I've learned in my coding log the next day. Curious to see how I'll get on with The Odin Project after this.

[David Smith @dave_probably]

@DThompsonDev I would have spent more time on building projects/sticking to one course, as opposed to jumping to several courses in attempt to finish one before the other. I feel that I set myself back a lot by doing this.

[David Smith @dave_probably]

@CliffordAgius Congratulations!

Adding a filter, reset button and new calorie limit button to my Tracalorie app. A lot to go through this time.

@PrashantCoder Nice to know I'm not the only one 😅

[David Smith @dave_probably]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but returning to a half-finished project after a week or two break has me staring blankly at my screen. Anyone else have this problem?

@CliffordAgius That's definitely where I'm going wrong..
