Thinking in State & State Shape: React (Absolute Disaster - Part 2 can only be better)

Thinking in State & State Shape: React (Absolute Disaster - Part 2 can only be better) 

This is the task for my react time this morning and it's not going well. I've been blocked on it since I knew it was coming. Some cryptic statements from chat gpt include:

"State is a model of change - not a mirror of your UI"

They say I should be asking myself:
  • "Does this need to change over time?"
  • "Can I calculate this instead?"
  • "What is the simplest shape that still works?"
BRO WHAT ARE THESE SHAPES. 

WHAT ARE THEY. "This session is decision making, not syntax". BRO

TOPIC NUMBER 1: "MULTIPLE USESTATE VERSUS ONE OBJECT"

Separate pieces of changes 
vs.
One bundled piece of change 

React doesn't care - I care because it affects mental load apparently and some stuff - bugs and readability 

MAKE REACT EASY 

"DOES THIS STATE CHANGE TOGETHER OR INDEPENDENTLY?"

CHAT GPT STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. IT IS TELLING ME TO TAKE A MIRO DIAGRAM. INDEPENDENT VS. COUPLED STATE

"DRAW TWO COLUMNS" BRO BRO BRO STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO
BRUH

"If updating one field accidentally resets another, that’s a signal."

fuck fuck fuck fuck then 

one topic at a time 
there were more topics in this week but fuck this I am sticking with one topic 

this one 

AI MADE THIS DIAGRAM FOR ME AND I AM NOT PROUD
An AI diagram explaining separate state versus object state

I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DRAWING OUT DIAGRAMS MYSELF BUT IT WAS TOO COMPLICATED (TO READ FROM THE INSTRUCTIONS) (I FIND INSTRUCTIONS VERY HARD TO READ)

update: one of my Lead engineers who mentors me intervened and part 2 will indeed be better we found some amazing react docs stay tuned 
so so grateful

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…”

“But yesterday, I heard God say, you were born to be the one…” Hey there. Still off work. Still tired. Lana del Rey released a new song. Thank God. My soul needed it so much.  I’m thinking a lot about everything. Thinking about where I went wrong. I just want to release. I want to release all the crap that is in my room. I’ve been trying to fully declutter since I was 21. I give away so much. I donate so much. But then I never quite finish. I never get to the click. And then I buy more. I don’t know what technique to use. There are so many techniques. The Marie Kondo method. I like to do kinaesthetic tests too. I like to pretend I’m packing up during the pandemic again and I have to make really quick decisions about what to keep and what to leave behind. That was no fun. But it was efficient. I just can’t release it. There’s so much stuff I can’t let go of. I don’t know how to. I don’t know how to. I suppose that’s a good metaphor for life. We accumulate stuff and we hold on to it....

Yosemite

Yosemite I'll never forget the first time I head the song Yosemite by Lana del Rey. I very nearly clicked away.  It was quite near the start of my Software Engineering journey, right near when I start learning the Front-End/Web Development. I was listening to Arcadia by LDR before, maybe twice, and then Blue Banisters came on. I nearly clicked away in the first 30 seconds but I forced myself to keep listening anyway.  I'll never forget how that song has made me feel. It became my song of 2022 even though I only discovered it in November. I can still listen to it every day and get that complete sense of wonder and of awe that I felt the first time that I heard it. That ending of the song is completely amazing, and it just completely just blows me away every time. "Withstanding all the time, changes, and seasons..." - LDR Concise Body Arrow Functions Why am I so bad at arrow functions? Whyyyyyyyyyyy?  Just kidding, I am beginning to get them. But why are they so hard? ...
