Just published a new article on my blog!
Built a console app in a week to calculate custom stable prices that made me felt like a real developer for a moment. 😆

New article on my blog!
This time it took me 211,5 hours to go through the The Odin Project intermediate CSS section 💪
I’m a bit behind on publishing, but the next articles will come out much quicker, one after the other.
I will do my best! 😃

Leveling Up CSS Skills and How Grid with Better Habits Changed the Game
Hey everyone! After wrapping up the Ruby section which I talked about in my last article I jumped straight into the “Intermediate HTML and CSS” lessons.

I have finally made this to the databases project!
It was a little bit of reading to be gone through but it was quite enjoyable I have to say 😁

Today’s Challenge: Setting up chess piece movement methods way harder than expected!
Reused Connect Four logic, and most issues are (hopefully) fixed.
Next, I’ll rename methods and write tests. Biggest headache? Hash keys vs. values.
Lesson learned: refactor early for simpler code. 😀

After 12 months in @TheOdinProject, I’ve learned way more than “how to code in Ruby.”

After 12 months in @TheOdinProject, I’ve learned way more than “how to code in Ruby.”
I got halfway through testing my old Tic Tac Toe code and had to restructure a bunch of sloppy OOP.
It’s wild seeing how far I’ve come in just a few months of learning!
Next time, I’m aiming to do it “test-first” so I can skip the messy rewrites. Can’t wait!

Another day pushing through these (seemingly endless!) TDD exercises. 😃
I spent 4 hours today digging in and finally seeing more patterns for matching each method to the right test. 💪
It’s slow going, but each step feels like a big leap in how I structure & think about my code. #Ruby

Do you want to finally understand what's going on behind the curtains when you use Git?
I just stumbled upon these resources...
AND IT'S AMAZING!
Really nice read and I do recommend it to everybody who wants to wrap their head around GIT!

A week ago I finally FIXED my car!
The issue has been stealing my time to learn coding for 4 weeks.
It made me to write this article:

From Wrenches to Code - Why Learning to Code Is Like Fixing a Car
It all started with a frustrating car repair. For two months, I had been wrestling with an issue that seemed impossible to solve.

KNIGHTS TRAVAILS SOLVED!!!!!!!!
It's been the most difficult project so far....
After getting this done and looking at the code it seems to be so easy.
It's crazy how the perspective of things changes once one realizes how it works 😀

I started this project yesterday, and I have to admit I’m quite enjoying it!
I’ve heard it’s really demanding, and IMHO, it’s harder to come up with an easier solution than to solve it.
Once done, it can be reused in the chess game later in the curriculum.
Well, that’s what I hope at least haha!

Just finished the Binary Search Tree project! 🌳
After tackling all the required methods, I thought the rebalance method would take me ages... Turns out, it was one of the easiest to write. 😅 Small wins like this keep me going!

I've just got a parcel from my mom and am going to start treating myself this weekend 😅
I've made a mistake opening this today as the urge of just eating them all at once is quite strong 😃
How do people go completely no sugar?! 🤔

Started coding a year ago, and here’s what the grind looks like! 💻🔥
From 'Hello, World!' to almost finishing the Ruby course on TheOdinProject 🦾
I can’t help but wonder… where will this journey take me in 5 years?
