The struggles of being a Hacker-in-Residence. I’m really starting to feel like I’m falling behind. Granted, I’m kind of comparing myself to my peers who aren’t hackers. But heck, even then, compared to my hacker peers, I’m also slightly behind. And the culprit for dragging me so far behind is my JavaScript project. Majority of […]

So I’m going to be honest, I got nothing done… haha. Last night, after our weekly Taco night, I came home with a massive food coma. First time it’s actually happened, but I knocked out after watching 15 minutes of the night’s video and… I didn’t wake up until 7am this morning. I’ll get everyone […]

Week 13?! Yep, you read that right. Whatever happened to the 12 week program? Well, App Academy’s always improving their curriculum, and this is one of those improvements. Rather than cramming as much as they can in three weeks, they’ve extended the Job Search Curriculum by one week so that they can accommodate the job […]

Real talk though, on Friday I had the incredible opportunity to visit Ancestry’s office and tour the place, and holy crap, it’s absolutely beautiful. At first, all I wanted was Google, since it’s touted as the epitome of a Software Engineer’s career. With Google under your name, you’re set for life, anywhere and everywhere. It’s […]

It’s official! We have graduated from App Academy. It definitely feels surreal… and yet, it also feels like we haven’t graduated since we still have to show up to class for another week, and then do regular check-ins during our job search. I’m definitely not complaining, this is after all, what I signed up for. […]

This is going to be a quick one! It’s great to re-visit LRU Cache. Learning all about these principles has me excited to learn more. Ever since I started programming, I lamented that I didn’t consider Computer Science in my undergrad, not that I regret my previous choice, it was the direction I wanted to […]

I haven’t made any progress with my JS project since yesterday was jam packed with work and lectures. In addition, we had about 2-3 hours of algorithms homework at night, which basically brought me all the way to 12 AM of continuous work. Additionally, I couldn’t finish the homework last night since my brain checked […]

I’m pretty satisfied with my progress given how much I was struggling last week. The interactive resume is definitely not optimum by any means. There are a lot of bugs, mostly dealing with screen resolution, and positioning of Harry not being correct in relation with the background. There’s definitely a better way to go about […]

Just a little preview on my progress in the thumbnail! Albeit, that doesn’t really show you much progress, but I reckon it’s still the prettiest part of my interactive resume so far. Aesthetically, it’s not too pleasing yet, but I really want to nail down the functionality of my project first before I think about […]

So I believe I’ve parsed the code enough to try and get started with preliminary attempts with my own models. Only issue is time. Last night, was probably one of my darkest hours with this project haha, and I had entertained the idea of switching to a different project just for the JavaScript project so […]
