How a day works

Four small steps

  1. Read

    10 minutes, in plain words, with a diagram or two.

  2. Play

    Poke a toy until the idea clicks.

  3. Check

    Run the code and tick the checkpoint.

  4. Tick

    Mark it done and keep your streak.

The job hunt, live

I'm job hunting right now

And writing it all down: what I studied, what I was asked, what I'd redo.

The job-hunt journal starts soon.

Every application, screen and onsite, with the lessons each one leans on. One honest entry at a time, linked to the days that helped.
