It be a buggy old machine, but it works. Thatβs the one that actually had real bugs in it? LoL. Yeah, I opened it up and blew it out. Theyβre gone for the moment.
You could run a linux distro as a second os. You can also just install postgres and run the server and front end from two different terminals
Nothing like spending your Tuesday evening explaining how a TV app works to your father in law. Lots of βI say wordsβββββhe stares blanklyβββββI try againβββββhe nods, but expression on his face doesnβt changeβ
Iβm writing a flashcard application and using an SQL database. I have a one-to-one foreign key from english to spanish. Is there a way to implement a key in the other direction so I donβt have to search the english words for the match to the spanish word everytime I need to use the match? Right now Iβm getting an error. Iβm using SQLAlchemy to produce my models.
Doing the open source project has opened my mind in that regard. βI didnβt write it, I donβt understand it, but letβs give it a tryβ¦β
Basically the way the docker container works is that if you donβt delete your docker volume it doesnβt run the initialization part of the app that has the schema changes. It see that you already have data so it persists it to the new container. That way your data doesnβt erase every time you restart.
Sure thing. Iβm usually a night owl for the open source stuff so if you ever run into issues with the back end iβm not too far away to trouble shoot with you
Itβs going to be a great day. Iβll complete my daily admin tasks in an hour which leaves time for coding!
Currently weβre working on a variety of features with a main focus on getting the BE & FE setup for the quiz pages! P.S. there is still an issue waiting for an assignee

Advice
The hardest part of any remote team project is understanding what everyone on the team is working on at any point in time. Especially when itβs not possible to hold daily stand-ups in realtime.
Itβs important due to the dependencies between the components team members are working on. Lack of information can result in these components not working as expected when they are brought together.
So, what is the solution?
- Communicate with your teammates to ask questions and report issues.
- Monitor team messages daily so you donβt miss updates and key information. Even better, see if thereβs a time of the day where all team members can be available, even if it is only for a few minutes, to chat.
- Post your status daily in the form of a text-based standup using this template:
- My mood today: <Happy face|Meh face|sad face>
- Tasks Iβm Working On
1. Task #1 + expected completion
2. Task #2 + expected completion
3. β¦
- Tasks Iβll Be Working On Next:
1. Task #1
2. Task #2
3. β¦
- I Need Help With:
1. Question/Issue #1 β short description & what do you need to get around it?
2. Question/Issue #2 β short description & what do you need to get around it?
3. β¦
Remember that reaching your team goal is more about coordination and communication than it is about technology.
Before you Go!
