R1D44 #100DaysOfCode - had some overnight integration test failures so fixed those and committed. Also learnt how to run the integration tests in a sandbox environment which was super useful.

R1D41 #100DaysOfCode - dipped into the @ljcjug Lightning Talks on my lunch break. Great to see a couple colleagues and familiar faces as well as hear the fascinating presentations. Tony Roberts' talk on Java Excel add-ins was amazing, really keen to try it out! #java #meetup

R1D40 #100DaysOfCode - nightmarish environmental issues today, caused by of course by the most trivial of things. Lesson learnt. Got my fix committed and successfully built through so all good in the end. 🤦‍♂️🥵

R1D39 #100DaysOfCode - first day back after an extended BH weekend. Bit of a slow start investigating a couple of bug fixes, simple to fix but complex to recreate. Tricky! #Java #SoftwareEngineer

Mathematician and genius John Conway, inventor of The Game of Life has succumbed to COVID-19 today. What a terrible loss for the world. RIP.

R1D37 #100DaysOfCode - ok day, spent a bit of time this morn working on a Udemy Java course. And the rest of the day investigating a bug fix - which is going to hopefully be a fairly quick fix - famous last words...

R1D36 #100DaysOfCode - Learnt how to raise an issue for a blocker I have - amazing how much admin is involved in the day to day work of a software engineer. All interesting though 👌

R1D35 #100DaysOfCode - got a bug fix ticket wrapped up and committed today which was great. Involved refactoring a fairly long unit test which made assertions on the view. Hopefully I'll get to QA it tomo 👌

R1D34 #100DaysOfCode - bit of a fragmented day but good! Worked on a unit test for a bug fix which I got green. And then picked up an enhancement ticket which I need a bit more time to understand. Then dropped into a brilliant decoupled design breakout session about SPIs. 🤘

R1D33 #100DaysOfCode - lots of time debugging null pointers in a unit test today, but making progress. Spent this eve working on a markdown guide for awesome looking GitHub CVs / READMEs. Once I'm a little further through I'll make the repo public 🤟🤓

Anyone else out there using Sourcerer.io? Really nice way to visualise your GitHub activity sourcerer.io/josephtownshend – 460 commits in JavaScript, 177 commits in Java, 328 commits in Ruby and apparently I'm most productive on Fridays! #100DaysOfCode #Java

R1D32 #100DaysOfCode - spent most of today working on a bug fix, think I've done the dev going to try and test it now. Otherwise feeling slow, WFH is all kinds of great - but I miss the office too..
