When I was an intern here at The Practical Dev, I built a blog app in Rails to show that I could apply my theoretical knowledge of MVC to a real-world Rails app.
Every time I describe this app, I call it basic, and that I basically hacked it together. That it's simple and not very good.
It needs work. A lot of it, as far as auth, UI, etc but that is for another day.
I feel like, the way it looks, and how easy it is to do things that I don't want a user to do makes it a simple app.
I need to just either not talk about it or say, "I built this thing that took me four days. It stretched me a bit but I built it.". It really isn't a simple thing to build a full-stack app in a language you are completely unfamiliar with but I keep saying it.
I interned at NASA, working on statistical modeling and machine learning projects. Now I'm at Ferguson Enterprise, working on applying UX principles to internal tooling!

This ends today.
