Biggest coding distraction:

Life

I have a video conference interview tomorrow for a summer internship. Imposter syndrome is coming on strong and fast.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Why would a university not offer a single course on mobile development in 2017?

Luckily, Stanford's iOS course on iTunes U seems to be pretty legit.

I had an idea for an open source project, but wanted to get some feedback before I committed a lot of time and energy to it. Seeing as how devRant is the only social media type app I use, I thought this would be a good place to ask.

The project would be an open source keyboard for iOS that would make it easier for devs to write code on their mobile devices. There's already a few "developer" keyboards, but they're either paid apps, or haven't been updated in a while.

Creating a custom keyboard isn't very complex, so it could be a good place for newer devs to actually contribute code and get comfortable with open source in general.

So my question is, do people use third party keyboards? Is this something people would be interested in contributing to? Should I go back to the drawing board?

A few weeks ago I posted about attempting to learn vim. It was hard to get started, but holy shit I'm glad I stuck with it.

I'm by no means an expert(pretty far from it), but I'm trying to learn new commands to use each day. I actually look forward to opening up my terminal and typing. I can say that in a few short weeks, I already feel faster than in my old text editor.

Oh, and tmux is awesome too!

Fuck group projects/labs. I hate them. I typically find myself explaining basic shit that was covered in previous lectures, or just doing all the work myself because they could care less.

When a new swift version is released and it breaks my apps.

When you finally reach that "Aha!" moment with pointers in C++.

Last week of classes and this semester is history. One step closer to attaining my dream job of being a software engineer.

When a professor says, "strings are an array of characters" and you proceed to post a question on stack overflow containing the phrase, "strings are an array of characters" and get a healthy dose of knowledge about what strings actually are....

I'm paying for this education?

Is it just me or is objective-c syntax hideous after learning swift?

Attempting to learn vim this weekend.

A stress ball may come in handy.
