FUDGESICLES!

I MUST BE STUPID BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!

I've finally started on my assignment to make a pizza menu using HTML, CSS and JS. It is mainly concerned with vanilla JS. I have done short exercises on how to use the different functions etc. Putting it altogether though, a whole different ballgame! Am I not cut out for this? I'm looking at the cheat sheet and thinking, yes, I understand what is being done.  Because I don't see how I could have come up with this on my own. JS is really kicking my ass. The desire to throw in the towel is all too strong. I even googled "JS is difficult" to see if anyone else is having as much difficulty with it as I am. Do I believe people when they say "Yes, I felt the same way when I started out"? This just might be the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. *throws a one woman pity party*

I took a short nap, and then I took a 1hr bus ride down to campus. Studied for 7- 9 hours. Took a 1hr bus ride back home. Lather, rinse, repeat. I also had some family obligations. My weekends and half the summer were taken up caring for my young stepdaughter. I was completely exhausted by the end of the bootcamp and I didn't know if I could do more. Learning to program is HARD. You need to be fully focused. I am fortunate because I di...

Shortcuts

 I saw one of my colleagues do something magical. He automatically fixed the alignment of student code on Visual Studio with just 1 little keyboard shortcut. Ctrl-k, followed by D. Holding down Ctrl the entire time Sometimes shortcuts really do work and make your life better!

Inserting data from CSV into Postgres table with Python

I've been looking into how to insert data from a CSV file into a Postgres Table with code. Turns out it's pretty simple and straightforward. I personally prefer doing it in code than with a command, but I'm not sure what is more common in the industry.  So now I should be able to load data from a CSV file into a Postgres table to create a REST API. The next step is trying to figure out how to convert that data into JSON format. 🤔
