Execute Program

I recently started getting into Execute Program — it comes free with a subscription to Destroy All Software and I was feeling a bit down about work. (More on that later.) I’m making my way through the JavaScript Arrays course as a mix of refresher and new. Once I’m done (or close to done), I’ll attempt TypeScript, since there are some things I want to build in React using it and it’ll be useful at work.

Speaking of work and why I was feeling down: I had a pretty bad week last week. I was really struggling with the codebase I was working in and wasn’t quickly learning from my mistakes. This week has started off better; I attribute that both to a better attitude and my amazing co-workers. Everyone is really supportive of each other and that goes a long way towards getting myself out of a rut. On top of that, over the weekend I reflected on where I was mentally and I think that’s helping me figure out how to ground my problem-solving.

So that’s why I’m continuing to do the JavaScript learning. It’s useful. It’s fun. It’s productive. Of course I’d love to create my fantasy football API or build a React project in TypeScript but those projects take a lot of energy and right now I only have so many spoons to give.

I’ll catch ya’ll later. Hoping to make this a more regular thing.
