This week, I actually understood this week's lessons at Lambda School on relational databases, SQL, migrations and seeding! I was nervous about going into the back-end unit, but I'm getting the hang of it. :)

This week, I finally took the time to add optional chaining into a JS project (something I'd been saying I was going to do for ages but never found the time). Out with the:

something && something.somethingElse && something.somethingElse.someOtherThing

and in with the

something?.somethingElse?.someOtherThing

😄

This week, I... told my team that I handed in my notice to start a new job next month. A bit of a weird one, but one that I dreaded doing. Just glad that I did it.

I know that had to be tough. Congrats, and good luck (and I mean that in a good way). Ending something stinks, but that's behind you so now you get to start something new...and that's almost always exciting!

This week, I created my first merge request in our internal gitlab. We've been using gitlab for a few weeks now, so it's quite new. Also we don't have a code review culture in our team, we just trust each other to write reasonable code.

So when I changed an important feature ("updating a document means overwriting the content BLOB" becomes "updating a document means creating a new content BLOB") I wanted my colleague to review my changes. It turned out to be difficult because I changed some lines here and there, I did not even wrote a new method.

So how do you do review such changes based on a diff? Much of the context is missing!

I also tackled some defects and wrote some integration tests that increased our code coverage. Yeah!

And how do I use this giphy-link?
