Developed a function to filter an array with two pieces of criteria. Able to do it without research and mostly by memory. Seems small but for me it meant I am grasping concepts abstractly and able to figure them out in a practical manner.

That's a smart study strategy, seeing if you can implement things from memory. Good work!

presented a tool at work that I've been building in my spare time, to share our SQL and shell/pgp/python/whatever sysadmin scripts across our server fleet. Well received and got some buy-in for more updates.

I'm in Lambda School at the moment. We just completed Unit 3 (React 2 & Redux), so I'm at 3mos down. Every 4th week is a Build Week where people from Units 1 thru 4, and sometimes other tracks (UX, iOS/Android, Data Science) are drafted into scads of teams, to work on a project together. It's basically a real-world test to see how well you did with the last unit . . . info retention, how you reference, etc. And then there's the team dynamic and how you fare.

It was rough. I didn't know it going in, and I don't think it's really even recognized at the curriculum level, but Unit 3 people in build weeks are like project leads. They coordinate with backend to get the right endpoints and docs, "supervise" Unit 2 (React 1) people, decide on git management (I personally punted it to the assigned "Project Manager") . . . and then I have to deal with my own side of the project, which is really stacked up relative to everyone else.

Of the 6 people on the team (including me) 4 of them had some kind of fatal flaw, seemingly purposefully trying to derail the project... introducing showstopper breaking changes "works for me", just being completely gone for 2.5 days of a 4 day project, and having a NodeJS back end that gives 500s "works for me".

I then spent most of the day y'day with a Cohort Teammate (a Unit 3 person in my daily Unit 3 team) helping him try to figure out what in the ever living fuck his NodeJS back end person was thinking, because he kept getting errors that he couldn't figure out. Come to find out, that NodeJS dev has a warrant out for their arrest, extremely dangerous escapee from Arkham Asylum.

In the end, we all made it, and now I have the week off for turkey day, yet I'm sitting here typing. WTH.
