• Listened to new Talking with Apples podcast episode "_Talking Architecture Components with Florina Muntenescu"_
• Reviewed Jetpack Compose State and had an "*aha*" moment "solving" my issue from the past two days.
Self-Comment
• Not much progress when it came to actually coding today, but spent the day reviewing theory which helped clear some things up. Did not cover Classes and Objects in Kotlin Docs as I decided to learn more about State in Compose instead. Spoke with a couple people today; reviewed a project involving querying sqlite database and outputting to Excel, also going over a few areas for direction. I thought more about purchasing Atomic Kotlin, but I may grab one on Data Structures or Refactoring/Clean code instead. When I did sit down to code, my head felt cloudy and was hardly able to focus. Might try to take a day or two and stay off-screen. Possibly after; picking up a book/printing out documentation to read, spend writing everything I've covered since December and what I want/need to cover by May, or draw out structure my Notes App Project & Database Query Project. 70-100+ hours a week learning(or at least sitting in front of code/theory day dreaming about future projects) for the past 4 months is being reflected in my efficiency. While I'm definitely improving, I can also say I'm wasting valuable hours each day trying to be productive. That being said, I enjoy spending my time improving and learning new material! (Also feel unproductive if I take a break).. Self learning has been tough with conflicting desires(i.e. becoming back-end dev vs android dev) as it leads to endless rabbit holes. Regardless it will be a path full of Kotlin + Kotlin & Jetpack libraries to help narrow down options.
Goals Tomorrow
1. Review Classes and Objects in Kotlin Docs
2. Finish going over "Using State in Jetpack Compose" codelab
3. Implement State in my Notes Project
4. Review my Database Query Project to work on this weekend
PS
If I should make the self-comment
section smaller & either emit it or put in a thread, let me know! Wanting to keep a record of daily thoughtsJungIn Choi
