September 19, 2023

Summary

Nothing super fancy. More reading. More problem-solving. There are two published articles too:

• React Rant (+ Should I Be a Backend Dev?)

• Two Months of Clojure

Day 51 / 10 Sep

• Finished reading chapter 10 in Clojure for the Brave and True, which was about atoms, refs, and vars. I guess the collective name for them is reference, and they’re mostly about managing (modifiable) state in Clojure, especially in light of concurrency.

• Solved a single problem

• Got this lame idea for making a baby names web scraper to be implemented in Clojure

Day 53 / 12 Sep

• Started reading chapter 11 in the book which discusses core.async and the concepts of channels and processes

Day 54 / 13 Sep

• Solved some problems - one of them was one I couldn’t solve before, which is nice

• Wrote in an article draft

Day 55 / 14 Sep

• Wrote a bit in multiple article drafts

Day 56 / 15 Sep

Day 57 / 16 Sep

• Solved the problem that got me stuck the day before, then a couple more

Day 58 / 17 Sep
