- What did you do this past week?
This week has been pretty normal for me. I have just been attending class and hanging out with friends. Aside from doing the work that was due during the week, I have still been procrastinating work that was not due. I have started on the Collatz project and have not hit a roadblock so far; however, I have not put as much time into it as I would like so far. I have some of my other coding projects that are due next however.
2. What’s in your way?
One again as with last week, laziness is still the biggest hindrance to my productivity. I keep putting off my projects until the deadline. Also, the super bowl is this Sunday so I would imagine that I will not get anything done throughout the duration of that also.
3. What will you do next week?
I will finish all the coding projects that I have due next week including the Collatz project that is due on Tuesday. Other than this, I will just continue doing the same thing I have been doing every week this semester.
4. If you read it, what did you think of the Continuous Integration?
I have never actually coded with Continuous Integration in mind before this class. However, some of the points in the article do convince me to try coding with it in mind more often. Usually I find it pretty hard to debug bugs, especially when the bugs lead to a rabbit hole with even more bugs. It seems like continuous Integration makes it a lot less likely to fall into these rabbit holes, and simply, makes it easier to code in general.
5. What was your experience of Collatz? (this question will vary, week to week)
I have had a good experience with Collatz so far. So far, I have made pretty stable progress with regards to the Collatz project. However, this may change when I get to trying to implement some of the harder/confusing optimizations.
6. What was your experience of exceptions? (this question will vary, week to week)
I knew that exceptions existed (in Java for example). However, I have never actually used them in any capacity before this class.
7. What made you happy this week?
The Super Bowl is this Sunday.
8. What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
VSCode has this extension that makes it really easy to develop in a docker container. (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers-tutorial)
