What did you do this past week?

This week I did not have that much work that was due. All my work is due in a few weeks so I’ve been trying to get ahead on work to make sure I do not get behind.

What’s in your way?

Even though I have been trying to do the work that I have in the future, I have been pretty lazy in trying to get around to doing it. In addition, my sleep schedule has lead to me skipping some of my early classes this week.

What will you do next week?

I will try to actually get my work done instead of procrastinating the work and also sleep at a better time so I do not end up skipping some of my earlier classes like what happened this week.

If you read it, what did you think of the makefile?

I though even though the makefile had everything split into groups, I still though the makefile could get confusing at times. I have a lot more reading to go before I am fully comfortable with makefiles.

What was your experience of Docker? (this question will vary, week to week)

I had a good experience with Docker and it went pretty smoothly. I had already had it installed on my computer because I needed to use it for my internship I had done in the previous summer.

What was your experience of assertions? (this question will vary, week to week)

I had previously used assertions before. However, I would just use it to check very obvious things and, previously, I would have used if statements to check for errors instead. After the lecture in class that went over assertions, I think I will start using assertions more and more since Professor Downing made it seem very useful.

What was your experience of unit tests? (this question will vary, week to week)

I have never really had any experience with unit tests before. I knew about how they worked, but as far as using it, I have never used unit tests in anything I’ve coded before.

What made you happy this week?

I got to hangout with some of my friends I haven’t seen in a while.

What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

Do not skip class.
