Had an amazing summer! Finding and exploring new ideas with great people is where it’s at! Definitely closed some knowledge gaps, opened some new ones, and after a week of coding the marathon continues!!!

Went through the docs to pick up GitHub Actions and feeling good about it so far, a bit of frustration for what turned out to be simple fixes but I finally set up a workflow! Getting back into coding after a few weeks of research, excited to start building!

The last two weeks were filled with new concepts and ideas so it’s been an adjustment, but the support and educational resources have been really amazing. Definitely learning a ton and grateful to be a part of the Blue Ridge Labs mission!

Wrapping up this project for now, made some really good progress! Next step is to continue learning, build out some tools, and take on larger projects. Excited for the challenge!

A Night of AI was an amazing experience!!! Thanks @thisdotlabs.bsky.social and @dthompsondev.bsky.social for hosting and packing so much value in such a short time!

Enjoyed being introduced to cutting edge tech, from RAG and MCP to rapid prototyping and enhanced chat experiences. Feeling inspired!

Finally finished the refactor so hopefully no more chasing ghosts!!! I was able to simplify a lot of code with the built in express error handling middleware and two reusable utility functions.

Found a better way to implement error handling!!! Got about halfway through refactoring this morning, and now it’s time to run some errands. Back at it tomorrow!

Finally found the issue!!! The most annoying part was restarting the entire process each time to test (no intellisense warning, and the verification code was deleted since an error wasn’t thrown). Big headache because of a small typo with the verified property in the user interface.

Building a backend with auth to use for my 100hr project and having trouble debugging an issue with account verification. No errors thrown but the account is still unverified. So frustrating, really thought I’d finish this tonight.…time to adjust

Had fun coding today! Added features to my freelancing page and I’m happy with the results so far!

I’m using local storage to save general info and details about customer/business pain points. The data is preloaded in a second form used to make appointments. Still hunting for my first paid client!
