100 Days of Code: 51-60
My 7-year career journey has taken me from pharmacy to biostatistics and data science, and then to web development. Starting on the front-end side, I built multiple websites, application UIs, and analytics dashboards custom-made for pharmaceutical companies. Now, I'm finding my niche in the back-end side thanks to the elegantly simple Go language, which I used to build Gopen, a CLI that helps me quickly open projects from a terminal, along with some REST APIs and full-stack applications. I love tinkering with software, I write about it in my personal blog, and I'm always looking forward to a new challenge or problem to solve.
Summary
Nothing super fancy. More reading. More problem-solving. There are two published articles too:
Day 51 / 10 Sep
- Finished reading chapter 10 in Clojure for the Brave and True, which was about atoms, refs, and vars. I guess the collective name for them is reference, and they're mostly about managing (modifiable) state in Clojure, especially in light of concurrency.
Day 52 / 11 Sep
Started writing a draft for a new article
Solved a single problem
Got this lame idea for making a baby names web scraper to be implemented in Clojure
Day 53 / 12 Sep
Wrote a little in an article draft
Started reading chapter 11 in the book which discusses core.async and the concepts of channels and processes

Solved some problems - one of them was one I couldn't solve before, which is nice
