18250 days, 2600 weeks, and 600 months left

The downfall of public accountability: it’s public. We are almost in March and here is my Bootcamp progress wheel. Extending completion target to May 2024 to give myself some grace.

30% complete according to progress bar

I learned a lot since Day 21 though! Check out the LifeRemaining counter above if you happen to be 40 years old.

Or this function to tell you if the year you inputted was a leap year? The error that I spent longer than I care to admit troubleshooting was due to capitalization differences between my code and the expected answer.

Then Google Chrome developer tool quit working. Thank God and Jason Yee for telling me about REPLIT. Took many breaks before successfully convinced the while loop to count-down from 99 for me :D

Fibonacci counter was fun, most valuable lesson there was learning to diagram. Draw.io is so cool, cannot believe it is also free.

BTW, did you guys already know that REPLIT comes with decent AI?

AI-generated code with prompt

The commented-out code was my prompt. REPLIT AI then went to work. It asked if I: wanted to accept, need re-work, or an explanation. I accepted. I am also looking into GitLab co-pilot to compare the two AIs in the coming weeks.

Thanks for following along as I learn to think more like a computer😊Hope your coding journey is as fun!
