MY ADVICE FOR SUCCESS

  • Plan to spend more time than you expect rereading the spec before submitting. It's easy to overlook the smaller details, and even small details can take a while to implement correctly. It's never fun to stress over unexpected bugs right before the deadline!
  • Get comfortable with Chrome DevTools. Knowing how to use the inspector tools can save you so much time and confusion if you know where to look. If you're not sure where to look, please feel free to ask!
  • console.log() everything if you're at your wit's end. As a student, there were times when I was completely lost on what could have gone wrong in my program. In these situations, spamming console.log() statements throughout my code to see which ones were reached was incredibly helpful, and usually revealed the source of my error. Often, I had just made a silly (but tricky-to-catch) mistake like a typo.

MY CHICKENS

I grew up with pet chickens and spent all of my time playing with them before I came to college. I hope you enjoy these videos of my talented hens.
