Top learnings 🔄 recap sessions
- From design file, pay close attention to which containers are dynamic and which ones are fixed with viewport changes
- An HTML structure is considered good if it can allow adding/changing elements in the future
- Git merge vs rebase
- Merge shows all commit history of both branches and is ideal for collaboration
- Rebase integrate changes from the main branch into feature branch
- Don’t use rebase if you’re collaborating with other people, because you’ll accidentally change other people’s work
Git commands ⌨️
-
git checkout feature-branch->git fetch origin? ->git rebase main -
git checkout main->git merge feature-branch(to see feature-branch work in main)
How this past week went 🗓️
âś… What was working? Why?
- Taking the time to visualize how you want to tackle the task and break into smaller to-do’s before actually diving into code.
- Console logging a lot! Especially in and outside of code blocks to see what’s actually being run. Indicate what you’re logging out too, not just the item itself.
- Giving ChatGPT very specific git branching scenarios to know with confidence which git commands to give and in what order to keep things up-to-date.
🙅🏻‍♀️ What didn’t work? Why?
- Just throwing your blocks of code at ChatGPT to debug without thinking about what exactly you want it to check before
- Being too fixated on a bug for more than 2 hours. Stand up and go take a breath of air. It’ll help reframe your perspective once you come back.
- Don’t code when you’re too tired because you’ll make stupid mistakes.
Top learnings 🔄 project
- Try to think ahead early on and plan for future implementations so you won’t have to refactor your logic drastically later to make it work
- Edge cases like error messages matter for a smooth user experience
- Make there aren’t redundant (don’t repeat yourself) or unnecessary code
- Your commits should be concise and descriptive as to what you changed/added/refactored/deleted
- Learned that PR’s should have test cases for what you want the reviewer to test out on their end manually!
Reminders to self 💅🏼
Habits lead to consistency. Consistency leads to growth.
- If you want to grow, then develop good habits 💪🏼
- You’re here at the bootcamp for only 4 more months. Prioritize what’s important and what you want to get out of it
