• Created queries in RBP & Excel Output (4 seconds total down from 40 minutes..?)
• Finished first two videos of _**_ series.
• Listened to Android Leaks Episode - Composed Leek
Self-Comment
• Quite a lot more done than expected today! Successfully queried all records for total counts / date / and checked if missing. Reading both excel sheets, querying Database, and outputting to excel only takes 4 seconds down from 40-60 minutes? Not sure what I did differently to make that possibly besides change up how I made my queries. 4 seconds feels much better, although until I get the desired output, I'm unsure what changes will come about. I'm wavering on completing this project. It's time consuming and feels distracting compared to other projects I could be working on. Friend has been taking his time to help me and feel guilty if I drop it.
• Podcast episode was great, while I'm not sure if anything from it helps me directly, it was nice to learn about the process on building a UI Framework. I do feel like I have a better understanding on what goes on under the hood if only slightly. 2.5 hours flew by, but started losing focus about 1.5 hours in.
• I think I'm going to try sticking to this YouTube course as it looks like it will go in some pretty detailed queries. I will attempt to follow it using Compose instead of the UI Toolkit in the video, but we'll see.
• I may end up on a Podcast in a few weeks talking about what it's like learning Jetpack Compose as a beginner. Plenty to review until then, but excited to see where this goes!
• Also Chicago Roboto is coming up (never heard of it until today). Depending on how the podcast episode goes I may put in a submission to speak for 20 minutes. Conference date isn't until September, but submissions need to be in before May 15th. A month to improve before submitting a proposal and 5 months before the conference. Considering I'm only 4 months in to learning, I'll improve substantially by then.
• p.s. I know what I want to hear, but any advice on point#1 in Self-Comment? It's been a few months on this RBP project with little-to progress. He's been spending time with me in several voice calls going over it trying to help me get real-world experience with an actual project, but my path has been steering more and more towards android full-stack instead of focusing back-end. Should I stick it out and continue splitting my time up, or tell him I want to commit fully to pursing Android Dev and drop the project?
• edit: I should take notes on how JungIn Choi does her Daily Entries. ➕
Goals Tomorrow
1. Work on RBP?
2. Continue _**_ #3
3. Review Compose/interop
4. Work on improving Daily Entries. Omitting extra details or putting in thread. Most of it is either imposter syndrome filled thoughts or ideas I never act upon anyways. 😅
5. Would like to do some kind of improvement/commit to Daily Doc (haven't touched since upload)JungIn Choi
