[End | WK9-F] Last day of internship, Learning through internship/journalling, successful open source contribution 1. Waking up *Disclaimer: Why is the internship (10 weeks thing) finished? Because technically this is WK10 - refer to WK5 journal where I go like, I only worked one day for WK5 so therefore I'll say WK6 is WK5 instead* Today's my last day at internship. I went to office because it was my last day. I think last day always sort of has a symbolic meaning to the person that has that day as the last.. 2022. 2. 11.
[WK9-Th] Talking with stranger on Github (ft open source) 1. Waking up Heyyy look what I did today, I woke up at 8:50am again! But thankfully wfh means I'm not late to work. 2. Almost there! Following up on yesterday's post where I made a PR to open source repo, the guy responded back with a cheery message! I felt good reading this because this was the first time I really contributed to an open source repository, and I had a good response to the first .. 2022. 2. 10.
[WK9-W] Open source contribution 1. Waking up I woke up right at 9am today. I played maplestory on mobile till 1:30am so that's what made me super tired. Even while I was playing I was keep thinking, "maple is really boring" until I realized that I spent like an hour playing it. It's not bad XD 2. Open source contribution, let's raise a PR! 2.1 The fix This is obviously a follow up to this post from yesterday. Yesterday, I unde.. 2022. 2. 9.
[WK9-T] Mock coding interview, Warming up for open source contribution 1. Waking up I woke up pretty early today! Woke up at like 7am ish just because my brother got up early for school and he asked where his belt was. I was forced to wake up but I couldn't sleep because I suddenly started watching webtoon for like an hour. Then I took a shower, and started working. So glad there's an option to work from home :D. Yesterday was holiday (I think it was Waitangi day)... 2022. 2. 8.
[WK8-M/T/W/Th/F] Title to be written 1. Waking up I'd hate to be that blogger that comes up with a plan to write stuff for 10 weeks for every weekdays then end up only writing 1 or 2 posts per week. It's like doing a squash on commits, but worse because what could have been 4 days worth of writing is now just 1 day worth of writing. Why is it worse? Because it removes lots of things that I wanted to write on that day (and there rea.. 2022. 2. 7.
[WK7-F] Updating snapshot, MUI decouple style from component 1. Waking up Yesterday, I had the most intense cardio session of my life. It was 4km run, 10min rowing (2km), 2km run, 5min cycling (2.35km), which all amounted to 50 minutes. My whole tshirt got wet, and my leg was bascially cramped. Anyways, I managed to get enough sleep that I could wake up at 8:40. 2. Updating snapshot late after merging PR I woke up to a slack message that said the snapshot.. 2022. 1. 28.
[WK7-Th] Dumb UI component - tradeoffs of solutions, zIndex, git pull --rebase 1. Waking up Yeah maybe I prefer wfh all the time. Just easier to wake up and manage time, and not feel tired all the time. I thought I always preferred office, but meh commute time and all-day parking fee acts as a deterrent to office commute. There's additional factor that I like my home chair. I really enjoy using my new chair (Aeron size B)! It really makes you want to sit, and in a way it g.. 2022. 1. 27.
[WK7-W] Pull request objectives discussion, bringing skip to main (keyboard accessibility) above the announcement banner 1. Waking up I ran about 4km yesterday at gym. It's raining quite a bit currently at Auckland, with a bit of humidity bugging my sensitive skins (it's not that I have a sensitive skin in a medical sense, but I'm affected quite a bit by how it feels on my skin - be it dry or humid, weather really does influence how I feel on the day). I was on a leave on Monday and Tuesday for a trip down to Tong.. 2022. 1. 26.
[WK6-M/T/W/Th/F] Redux, Configuration, Context, High order component, First bug ticket, Testing, Office life Crap. It finally happened. I managed to push back my writing for a week (today is friday, and I didn't write any post since monday). I have an excuse though. I've been going to gym, meeting up some people, leetcoding sesh, and finally getting back to the office. Hold up, what? You are back at the office now? ( ) const AnnouncementBanner = ({closable})=>{ //... {closable && } } 2.3.2 Intuitive na.. 2022. 1. 21.
[WK5-Th/F] Resolving comments on PR 1. Waking up I had a dinner with someone I did discipleship last year with. I got home at like 11pm, and helped dad transfer his stuffs from old phones to a new one. So I didn't really get a chance to write any stuff yesterday, which is sort of annoying because I feel obliged to write stuff for yesterday. But I guess good thing is that we have summer fridays where we finish our work 4 hours earl.. 2022. 1. 14.
[WK5-W] Makestyles refactor ellipsis css material ui 1. Waking up I woke up at 8:30 and, surprise surprise, I was so sleepy so ended up staying in my bed until a little bit past 9. But hey, I got my PR up from yesterday, and just waiting for that to be approved anyways so there wasn't anything urgent to be done I guess. I had a meeting at 11:45 as usual for daily standups. For daily standups, I think it's crucial to write a memo for myself, becaus.. 2022. 1. 12.
[WK5-T] Fourth ticket - svg background to top portion of footer 1. Waking up Today, I woke up at 8:30... well not exactly because I then felt way too dizzy and tired and set another alarm for 8:50, which made my get-out-of-the-bed time to be around 8:55 ish. That's the perk of remote work, maximising use of slack time so that you use the given time to the fullest extent for napping, right up to the point where I need to start working! Well, such lifestyle is.. 2022. 1. 11.
[WK5-M] Source bash function, accidentally pushing to master (;.;), some errors 0. It's a new year! Well, it's past new year now, but whatever. I had a really good break. It was really great not having school nor the work in mind. I had my leave from 24th Dec to 9th Jan, so that's 17 days in total! I recall I had a bit of metallic taste in my mouth, presumably due to stress, and that's all gone after taking that break. I had that taste ongoing for at least 2 weeks. It's inc.. 2022. 1. 10.
[WK4-Th] Resolving first ticket, React pattern 1 Waking up Haha, I'm a clown for sleeping at 3am (I know, yet again a late night on phone). It was more like 3:30am, but I did manage to wake up to the alarm set at 8:25am. When I tried getting out of the bed, I felt like I had a migraine (I think that's what people call it), and I couldn't just wake up. So I lied in the bed, hoping that I won't fall into a sleep of eternity. Thankfully I didn'.. 2021. 12. 16.
[WK4-W] Presentation with UX - gone somewhat horrible! Presentation with UX... that was not a fun time haha. First of all, I made a grave mistake of not gauging where UX team is at about using Storybook. (it was like 15 minutes into 30 minutes presentation, scary!) They were concerned about keeping design system in sync between Figma and Storybook, and extra resource/manpower needed for this And that's understandable, because there's more manpower i.. 2021. 12. 15.
[WK4-T] Creating Strapi template (single type) and testing it, Git amend/force 1 Waking up I thankfully woke up in time (6:50 ish), and went to gym (departed at 7:24), and came back (8:30) and showered to be on time for gym. And I had a Quiet Mind tea from T2, which, I don't personally enjoy drinking but I bought it so I'm drinking it anyways. 2 Making About Us Strapi template This was the first ticket I was assigned that will 'do some changes' to the production environmen.. 2021. 12. 15.
[W4-M] Presentation 1 Waking up I woke up at around 6:30am, and went to gym. I know right? I finally managed to do that! ..anyways, that meant I was way too tired for the presentation and needed a solution. My presentation was at 3pm, and I was feeling way too drowsy at 10:30am ish, so had a nap (didn't finish preparing the last few slides at this point). Then I missed my 15 min standup meeting (at 11:45am), and wo.. 2021. 12. 13.
[WK3-W] Storybook mdx - Collapsible text, global css, iframe Figma 1 Waking up I was really gonna hit the gym today, so I had my alarm set at 6am. I did wake up at 6am, but the story goes that I slept right away till 8:30. Nice! 2 What did I do? Yeah I'm being a little bit lazy these days, not filling these daily entries out everyday, but that's as expected. Some days you are super motivated, and some days you just can't be bothered. It doesn't matter, as long .. 2021. 12. 8.
[WK3-T] What's up? 1 What's been going on? A lot of stuff haha. I'll just write as bullet points: 1. I've talked with the associate product director for a fortnightly catch up => I'll be working on product side of things from sprint 24 (about 2 weeks from now), doing about page and stuff. already got the ticket for it. => seems the associate product director really knows what interns want. the ticket i'm working o.. 2021. 12. 7.
[WK2-Th] Storybook integration recommendation Stuffs I've done The following are some stuffs I've written as a preliminary base for recommending use of particular features of Storybook. It's not complete, and images/code examples should be added further. However, this mainly captures benefits and costs of integration and transition. Anyways, today was a little bit tiring because I only had a bit of sleep yesterday as I said befo.. 2021. 12. 2.
