I've been shooting for 10 points on katas each day for the last week as some take a lot longer than others. BUT I'm finally rank 6! Along the journey I've learned about Regular expressions (RegEx) and I've tried using anonymous functions more, but this has led me down a rabbit hole of creating objects attached to functions and how to use them. (I'm still far off from being good with them but it's opened my mind to be more abstract with my approach to things and think about how I can implement anonymous functions. My example (someone's answer to a kata that destroyed mine haha): function DNAStrand(dna) { return dna.replace(/./g, function(c) { return DNAStrand.pairs[c]; }); } DNAStrand.pairs = { A: 'T', T: 'A', C: 'G', G: 'C', }; I thought this was a super clever approach and I'm excited to continue progressing as I'm getting closer and closer to finishing the prototype exercises! I'm stoked to get going and rip through building some apps! P.S. If you're feeling down, or second-guessing yourself on this journey. just remember.. Any one who is great at something put in the work, they were amateurs starting out just as anyone else would be. Keep going, and stay consistent. Even if it's half an inch a day within a year I'm sure you'll be on your way to completing that first mile (km for my international friends). :)

Not too long ago I finally finished the Findtrend project so I'm onto JavaScript now and I reached level 5 a little while back. Excited to see what's next and build on my skills!

Looking forward to starting React after I finish Pomodoro!

Quick question What would blow you all out of the water

Hey guys, I’m happy to share that after long and challenging months of job hunting, I have been offered a Full-Stack/Front-End Software Engineer role at Cloudera. I hope this gives you some fuel on the road wherever you may be right now. What all the alumni said before is true. I can only reassure you that every single minute of work that you put into learning, researching, and going through the program will pay off in the end. I want to say a big thank you to all the cool people at Squared who have been building the app from day 1 working hard every day sacrificing their time and energy. Last but not least, I want to say thank you to the dopest mentor and one of the best trainers/teachers whom I’ve ever worked with. Thank you, Cristian for all your support and making this all happen! Keep up the great work you guys, you'll all get there soon! 🤙🤙💪💪 Cheers, Simon
