I’m finally starting my JavaScript project! After a fairly packed week of getting up to speed with the previous hackers-in-residence, I finally got some breathing room last night to work on hashing out the start of my JavaScript project. The last couple days have been working on getting familiar with the interview prompts. I got […]

I had conducted my first interview. For me the experience was good, I learned a lot about how to conduct myself in an interview, and what kind of things to look out for. One of the most important lessons I learned however, had nothing to do with how to actually conduct the interview, rather it […]

I’m going to keep this short and sweet since I really should be heading to bed. Yesterday, I shadowed a couple interviews and really got to see some non-technical interview interaction, since my non-technical interview shadowing on Monday was a no-show. It was a really great experience, and I hope to be able to do […]

Ayy, super late post, I don’t really know where I’m going to find the time to continue blogging, but I’ll try my best. Please forgive me if I  miss a couple days. My workload increased ten-fold since becoming a Hacker-in-Residence. And that’s not counting my ambitions for what I want to accomplish while I’m here. […]

DAM this is late. I sincerely apologize but it’s been straight HECTIC. So on Friday, I received word of my acceptance to the Hacker-in-Residence program! It’s pretty much a Software Engineering Intern position where I get to work on in-house projects, as well as interview prospective students in both the technical and non-technical sense. We […]

BONUS POST! It’s Friday night, so I’ll be writing about today tomorrow, but I wanted to put together a review of my time at App Academy real quick since they’ve made it an incentive for a hoodie =P App Academy has been a wild ride, and I only just finished Week 9. I know the […]

DUDE. I’m getting some of the craziest bugs. There’s two that are major on my list at the moment, and I’m definitely working on figuring them out. The first is one that I’ve found earlier last night. This particular bug is weird because it results in my comments being displayed from the most recent at […]

T_T Yesterday, I worked on a functional feature, and a completely fun one! While one is considered a bonus feature, I felt it was a fairly obvious one to have – deleting comments. Fairly easy to implement, I simply added a button that when clicked, dispatches a delete comment request to the back-end. It was […]

Ayyy!! So I’m pretty much done with my basic MVPs, which includes implementing images, and the ability to like, follow and comment. There are a couple other features that I would like to add, one of which I have already finished as of last night! Last night I was able to implement an infinite scroll/lazy […]

Yesterday was incredibly productive. I finished majority of my project except for a couple bugs, so the day was mostly spent on hashing out and cleaning up those bugs. I managed to fix, with some help, the followers count bug by making a couple important tweaks to the User reducer. It turns out that I […]
