I just got to code my own version of Pong a few weeks ago in my Interactive Python class. A challenge to say the least! I can only imagine how smart these jokers were to figure out these concepts back in the days of 8-bit.

I just got to code my own version of Pong a few weeks ago in my Interactive Python class. A challenge to say the least! I can only imagine how smart these jokers were to figure out these concepts back in the days of 8-bit.
Small (but oh-it-feels-so-good I did a little dance) Victories.
Finished my game of Memory*** for the Interactive Python class I'm taking with Coursera and PyLadiesPDX. My partner-in-crime worked from home yesterday and was graciously helping me push through concepts that have yet to work into my muscle memory.
It works! And it's fun.
***For the purposes of this course, I won't publicly post the game(as it vulnerably displays the code for it). I'll happily send you a link if you contact me though!
In a week where I'm feeling very vulnerable...
My partner was very encouraging. And so were my PyLadies. After attending a GeekGirlPDX dinner on Wednesday, where I received some great reminders of how women should do nothing but encourage themselves;I landed at my Thursday evening PyLadies code review. I had a very frustrating week trying to program my Pong project for Coursera, to which we were all working on. My code was messy. It's all over the place. And so was my work-style--and productivity thanks in no-small-part to my haphazard coding. They were all supportive. Super patient. Calm, and very helpful.
And after the meetup, I was talking with a few of the ladies about the Gnome.org Outreach Program for Women (which you should go apply for!) and if I was even at a level for which I should consider it. Katie, a very sweet PyLady standing next to me, reminded me of a interview statistic we had heard at GeekGirl the evening before: "Women, when looking at a job posting, will look at the job requirements. If they don't feel they fit AT LEAST 75% of the list, they won't apply." "What could it hurt? " Look into it and try it!
So when you see this GIF, what do you think? Are you thinking he's going to fail what he's about to attempt? All I'm thinking is how bad-ass he is from start to finish.
