What did you do this past week? I wasn’t too productive during our 1.5 weeks of no classes, so this Wednesday I got caught up with a lot of homework. My partner and I also started on the project after class on Wednesday and we just passed all the HackerRank tests.
What’s in your way? Honestly, nothing much. The upcoming rainy days will likely make this weekend kind of disappointing though.
What will you do next week? I have two exams Monday & Tuesday of next week, but after that, I plan to get more work done for a web app project for an organization I’m a part of.
If you read it, what did you think of the Single Responsibility Principle? The article itself was a bit confusing to read since I didn’t know what a lot of the older terms mentioned were (like a modem). Overall though, I think the idea of the Single Responsibility Principle is definitely important to follow but will be difficult to get right without practice.
What was your experience of Voting and consts? (this question will vary, week to week) The Voting project was quite straightforward. I’m glad we finally started using classes and object-oriented programming, though it was a struggle understanding how creating objects in C++ differed from Java and learning how to use reserve() rather than creating the objects immediately.
How did you fare in the storm? I was pretty lucky since I had been back home in Dallas, so my house didn’t lose power, water, or wifi. I did hear a lot about situations in West Campus and it sounded not-so-fun.
What made you happy this week? I finally came back to Austin this weekend after the snow melted, and I got to catch up with some friends & eat good Austin food that I had been craving (Cabo Bob’s)! The weather was also extremely nice on Wednesday, so I went to the Union to study outside.
What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week? Make sure to go to your GitLab project > Settings > CI/CD > General Pipelines (Expand) > Timeout and change your timeout to 10 mins instead of the default 1 hour so you don’t run out of free minutes for the month.
