2015.05.02 – Coding the Day Away

Andrew didn’t have any coffee roasted so the guys and I walked around the corner to Blend. I already had tea waiting for me at home so we sat in the coffee shop and talked while they had their morning caffeine.

I had a late morning hair appointment so Wayne dropped me off and then the guys and I went to lunch at Los Gorditos. Yay! It. Was. So. GOOD! Eddie, the cashier and bringer of food was working and I hadn’t seen him in months. We were so happy to see each other. He brought us some complimentary chips and guacamole. The cook had added some fresh, diced jalapeno to it and that made it extra good. I love that place.

We headed to The Rebuilding Center afterward to look for lighting for our new bathroom and found one. Now we need one to go over the mirror and we will be set. Andrew and I walked up to Mr. Green Beans to get more beans for roasting. As we were walking I saw the comic shop and remembered it was free comic book day! Ack! I was probably too late to get my friend’s free comic book for Hip Hop Family Tree but I tried anyway. As expected they were long gone. Bummer!

When we got home I spent the rest of the day working on a coding challenge for another company hiring a junior dev. I had a ton of success with this challenge. I worked through it bit by bit changing and adding to it as needed. This one involves creating, viewing, and modifying an object. It was a lot of fun to see it grow and turn into a real thing!

Today I learned that just because you can solve something with a regular expression doesn’t mean you should.
