Goals

Realised I am woefully underprepared for the #100DaysOfCode in Python course. That does not mean that I’m going to give up on the project however. I am just dropping down and getting fluent with the basics with the Python Jumpstart course. I aim (very optimistically) to complete an app every 3 days. This should give me #130DaysOfCode 😂 What did I do today? I finished App 1: Hello (you Pythonic) world Done with the videos for App 2: Guess that number game. What did I learn? ...

Horrible day. Could not crack Bite 7. Did however finally crack Bite 67 after a lot of head scratching. Have come slowly to the terrifying realisation that I’ve bitten off a whole lot more than I can chew. Forget thinking Pythonically, I cannot even think programattically. But then, c’est la vie. I’ll just put in my hours diligently and let the learning come gradually.

Worked an hour with these exercises. Still struggling mightily. Only got one done. Still. Did an hour. Did not die despite tearing my hair out. 1 Live to code another day It was fun though :) ↩︎

Getting back to studies. Putting in the time to do 12th, so won’t have time to do programming. However programming is the goal, so I commit to putting an hour daily. Whether I finish a project is moot now after so many failures. Ergo time is the only thing I can measure progress in. An hour a day. For a hundred days. Rather than doing something self directed, am following Talk Python’s, #100DaysOfCode in Python. ...

Getting back to life slowly. Abandoning the idea of the daily posts. Too amorphous for me. Doing short 20 hour projects seems to work better for me. To that end, here are my goals for September 20h of emacs - goal - get familiar 20h of Dvorak - goal - get upto 35wpm walk daily - goal - 10000 steps or 90m daily More as I figure this out. Daily programming is dead! Long live working towards daily goals! ...
