that is WILD, i had no idea! signal works💜

the quality of instruction as well as just generally being very good for me to be here

no longer dreading getting back to it fr. now it’s just an annoying thing i nevertheless intend to do, and am lowkey looking forward to doing? emotions can be so weird sometimes lmao

just realized that it took me so long to to break down and do this largely because i simply was not allowing myself to acknowledge that it’s annoying and i hate it. as soon as i complained about it, i felt less averse.

but i am proud of myself for assigning me “as many arbitrary for loops to nowhere as it takes to stop fucking them up”

my entire life i have despised problems for the sake of problems. once i understood multiplication and knew my times tables up through 12 i was not tryna do another multiplication worksheet ever again lmfao

either that or something about moving into backend made frontend click. lmao maybe both

dumping “here is what i know, but i can tell i am confused” into gpt is unreasonably effective

yes! i wasn’t quite seeing the two roles at first, just knew the console kept yelling at me and i had to be mixing something up in my head lmao. eventually i stopped trying to brute force it via reps and told gpt “i think i am confusing something about the braces but idk what”

highly contextual framework, this.

meant to signify a piece of code or an object lmao

i like it! yesterday i had gpt rewrite some of my my code as symbolic “functional units” and label them(eg state, logic, etc), and that helped. also realized that i needed to consistently put my jsx in components rather than the main app bc i’d been obscuring from myself whether the braces were

lmao it’s so frustrating. i can tell the framework is set up for flexibility and convenience but the same properties are why i keep getting tripped up rn😭

weirdly backend feels more intuitive than frontend atm. (weird bc i have way more experience with frontend)

i expect this to change, though.

but it’s cool! i can see already how flexible it is, and how much easier to update it is compared to the ancient traditions i’m familiar with(html/css/js)

i do get it. it’s just… particular. nest-y and shorthand-y and interconnected in such a way that a single misplaced character can break your whole shit. lmfao

i think i would settle for still feeling comfortable when i inevitably break my apps rather than briefly spiraling about whether my entire understanding is flawed and i’m never gonna get it, lmao

i think this is mostly in my head, bc i keep making progress. but the feeling of “am i confused or” takes up more of the day than i would prefer
