RC Day 31 - Plague House

Highlight of the day: meeting some of the new batch of Recursers. Lowlight: my family have COVID. I haven’t tested positive, but I definitely have some symptoms, so this week could be “fun”.

• Spent some time upgrading the version of SvelteKit I use for this site, and restricting the number of posts and logs on the front page. It had gotten kinda long with 30 logs.
• Met a bunch of new Recursers at the welcome sessions!
• In some down time today I made a version of Game Of Life with colours, where the colour changes (to something lighter) for every iteration since the cell was alive. Stuck it in a Svelte REPL.

I’m still mulling how best to spend the rest of the batch. I’m enjoying leaning into front-end, but a lot of what I need to learn there can be studied solo. RC is a good place to learn communally – that’s most of the point – so maybe I’ll return to something with a lot of Recurser energy behind it, like making things in Rust? What I really need to do is scope out a next project for myself (in any domain or language) and invite pairs along.
