Github Annotated

1

I don’t remember making a github account, but I’m not surprised that I did. Summer of 2021 I made a lot of accounts with various services trying to see if this ‘get into tech’ idea held any water. Requested the data from my sister’s netflix at one point. Filled out a form to make a twitter bot. Watched some TED talks. Read a lot of marketing materials from Boot Camps. Couldn’t always distinguish educational materials from technical documentation from marketing materials.

2

Decided to apply to Northeastern, went to Mexico. Both good decisions. In Mexico I continued to dabble. Got a few chapters into an intro to python book but got stuck when the turtle window wouldn’t stay open. No github activity.

3

‘turtle.done()’ will keep the window open so you can look at your drawing

4

First class using github. Also being introduced to C and Java for the first time. Github makes no sense to me. I follow instructions, typing in commands, praying, and it only rarely works, for reasons I continue to not understand. A miserable time.

5

Taking Algorithms course. Mostly math so I’m really not touching any code.

6

Class starts. Trying to think if Tuesday was a day things were due. I think it was.

7

Final project. We used github to all contribute to same project. First time using it like that. A few hiccups along the way. Lived those weeks in fear of merge conflicts, but looking back it mostly all worked out I think?

8

Starting to notice blank periods in my github calendar when they show up. Developing envy/confusion towards people with just a wall of green.

9

Tried to write ‘HI’.

10

All the submodules for this stupid website. Lots of pulling and pushing and initing and deiniting.
