w8d2: day 2 of solitary meditation
That is kinda what it feels like. At first peer programing felt so weird. But now, working solo feels foreign. I’m deep in my zone sometimes, I forget to blink or go to the bathroom. I can see how people get carpal tunnel.
Today, I refactored much of my code so I used partials and don’t repeat myself as much as I can. I also confirmed what I learned about nested resources. I had a small glitch in the afternoon due to actionmailer and launchy acting out. It took so long to figure out. But it was such a stupid bug. My directory was in a file with a space in its name. I didn’t even know it was in that file!
Lessons of the day include:
Nested resources can be cutomized so you have some view files as nested and some outside of the nesting.
Buttons for any modification! So that GoogleBot doesn’t delete all your pages.
Algorithms. Dynamic Arrays. I kinda feel like I get it. But I probably don’t.
Gotta pick it up. I’m miles behind where I want to be by the middle of the project. Not to mention I haven’t started styling it at all.
