Codertober Day 10

I missed writing down the past handful of days because it's been bits and pieces here and there.

But today I finally finished the Javascript roadmap, which took me an embarrassingly long time. Although if I think about it, distilled down it probably took me like 8 hours.

Next im either gonna blast through the Python roadmap or look at the computer science roadmap which goes over algorithms and data structures which is probably the skill I actually need the most work on.

All in all I kinda dislike this learning style so far, which is how I did it in school which was WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING. And then in school I'd use it to pass tests, but my plan was to use it as a reference for actually building some projects.

But I was testing out Javascript modules and there were, like, 3 things I had to stumble my way through because they weren't stated explicitly enough in the material I was reading for me to write them down.

I kinda wanna streamline that stumbling stage and maybe i'll just dive headfirst into a project and google my way to success, which I think would be more fun and make it so I actually learn.

10. What is your programming pet peeve

"One time it took me 2 hours to fix my code, turns out I had just missed a semicolon" read your goddamn motherfucking error messages, if you took two seconds to read past "syntax error" you'd catch it in two seconds.

"Uhn my pointer isn't working???" your compiler told you it's null you never allocated it!

READ YOUR ERROR MESSAGES.

That is all, thank you.
