The Chill Coding Lounge

100 days of chess (and I still suck)

Expo must be one of the most rage inducing things to ever exist in this world

A sneak peek on what I'm currently working on. Still in its early stages, but when completed, I hope it'll be helpful. (Duolingo's icon making me feel like I owe money to the cartel🥀)

I leave for a month > Influx of subs I come back > lose subs I am seeing a pattern here🥀

I finally got around to listening to @Robi_makes_stuff's presentation on UI [LINK]. It was really fascinating how much I learned in the span of 18 minutes (basically watched 3 UI vids according to Robi😂). I learned about the purpose of contrast, better colors coming from desaturation and hints of hue of said colors, with the exception being neo brutalism. I could go on about micro interaction usage, neo morphic designs, animations to give your product a soul,eteca eteca but the main point he goes on to state is to have a UI/UX experience that is pleasurable for the users and in turn gives them a reason to come back rather than have the product be only a means to an end. Yap aside, I will be implementing this into my next project (which will kick my ass because of how new it is to me but stay tuned😂)

Any thoughts on my implementation in today's kata?🥀

Good Morning gang. Time to get our bread up type shi✌🏾

I started doing code katas in order to improve my coding skills, and oh boy have they become non-existent😂 Apparently there is a difference between thinking something is simple, and doing said task. One kata was to find the number that repeats an odd number of times in an array of other numbers. In my mind the main workflow to complete this kata was: 1. Create a dictionary/record that stores the number as a key, and how many times it repeats 2. Iterate through the dictionary and record to find which value has a modulo not equal to 0 3. Return that key 4. Profit I spent 30 minutes trying to implement this logic. 30!!!!! I then did some searching online and asked AI how to implement stuff (without giving me the answer), and it's funny that my initial implementation was close to providing the required answers. I know what I'll be doing with the rest of my year now😂

"Poetry"/Bars time: I sit on the chair of cuckery watching my life get double teamed by employment and the economy 🥀 MMMMMM Bars?

What have I been doing this last month you may be asking. Well aside from restructuring the way I think (which I will be talking more about in the coming days),: - Started working at a new company - Hired as a backend developer (Holy W😭) - Became a linux nigga (I have been missing out) - Learned docker, prisma, and redis via work and personal project (dockerfile who? compose who? I haven't slept in ages) - Got my first ever self-funded gpt plus subscription (GPT 5.5 is a beast plus extra tokens galore) There are many more but these some of the more notable stuff that happened this month✌🏾

I wanted to post last week but I didnt want to overshadow Drake✌️🏾😂

YUUUUUURRRRRR, GOOOODDDD MOORRNNIINNNGGGGG!!!!! GUESS WHO'S BACK!!!!!! A new week full of new opportunities gang. You know how it goes. Go get your bread🔥🔥🔥

Well with that guys, I'm gonna head be gone for a month or so to take a step back and recharge. I have had a certain writer and mental block lately, and I want to make sure I figure it all out. I know y'all will miss my goofy aah (doubt)😂 Until the next time gang🫡

Learning anything using AI has to be one of the most gaslighting experiences ever gang. Make sure to refer to the docs when learning anything new 🥀

First time installing and using fast node manager (fnm). Genuinely amazing how fast it is, and installing it actually taught me a lot of stuff. Rust really is amazing (fnm was built using rust)

Elevated awakenings chillers🙏🏽 May your bread be served fresh today🫡

Good afternoon gang😂😂 Been gone the entire day, you miss me?🥺
