I originally went there for Chemical Engineering. An older friend of mine got a ChemE degree from there and recommended that I go to Operation Catapult the summer before I graduated high school. It's a ~2 week engineering camp. I fell in love with the campus and really felt like I fit in.
I have a lot of other coding experience with internships and course work, but I've been focused on web dev for 2 years now—1 year professionally.
Literally happened a couple of days ago. I tried to raise a number to a power in JavaScript, and used ^ instead of **. 😂
Hmmm. I go through phases on this one. Right now, I'm trying to learn about how to optimize drawing lots of pretty things on the screen which, in my situation, is requiring optimizations on the front- and back-end. Since I don't work as much with the back-end, I don't really know all the ways to optimize things, which sometimes blocks my work on the front-end. I have done back-end work and very comfortable with it. Sometimes just requires some extra Googling. 🤓
Pterodactyls! I love birds, so this makes sense.
