"At the edge of the forest, I would not abandon you now:" How to give when I have no more left to give

"At the edge of the forest, I would not abandon you now:" How to give when I have no more left to give

2024. A year I could never do again. 

I have finally come almost to the end of what I had said I would ever do outside of hours.

Then I might have to stick to working hours only, I am afraid. At long last. I said I would listen back to 5 more calls. 

I am on the third of those, a really long one.

One of the last two I have already listened to once, so that is good. And I have seen a course I want to do over Christmas.

I know, I know. Not the plan.

But it is a course I have seen and done some of before and it is more just for my own pleasure and my own personal inspiration.

Listening back to my epic problem solving call with my boss

I AM SO HAPPY AND PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR

I am so happy and proud of myself that I have gotten this far. I have done so so well. Yayyy...

"The process of thinking about, not like necessarily the pseudocode but just what the function's meant to be doing, is helpful, otherwise you always just end up getting stuck on a line.

Whereas if you thought about what the function was meant to do you would then get to the solution faster. YOU WOULD THEN GET TO THE SOLUTION - FASTER!!!"

This is the only time in the history of this 550 post, 2 year blog that I have ever added as much emphasis to anything.

Some further thoughts and quotes on this from my manager - thanks

"How I would look at this:
  • I've just written out what I want it to do
  • I want to take the request, validate it, and then write it to the database."
"This function is now structured in a way that I want it to run."

THIS FUNCTION IS NOW STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT I WANT IT TO RUN. THIS FUNCTION IS NOW STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT I WANT IT TO RUN. 

A dark purple whirlpool. white text reads: late night problem solving skills

Here is a little old gem from my manager:

1. Write some rules

2. Write some code that meets those rules

3. Write some tests that make sure those rules are met
