Day 12 — Didn’t do anything crazy today. Joined a couple of meetings and paired with people.
- First one I went to was the DDIA reading group and unfortunately I didn’t do the reading
- But it was cool to hear everyone’s questions and the presentation we had on analytics dbs, ELT, etc.
- I also explained how hashmaps work under the hood
- Paired with a fellow recurser on some css stuff. Tailwind is cool, really useful. There’s a lot of knowledge you just kinda need to have with frontend, so it seems like an ever evolving space. I wonder how it’s going to grow with AI.
- In general, I’m definitely surprised at how much you can get done without knowledge of data structures and algos. Frontend is really cool and heavily object oriented.
- Popped into the creative coding demo which had some really fun things. I might join next time.
- Went to the algorithms group. It’s hard to prove that the optimal solution for this: https://cses.fi/problemset/task/1132/ is the double bfs approach.
- Also need to figure out the visiting cities problem. I feel like I’m close, but I just don’t know what I’m missing.
