RC Day 36 - Stacks

I’m still ill from last week, and in any case RC is not in session today – it being Independence Day in the US – so took it easy-ish. Easy-ish means not building anything novel, and just doing book and course learning.

  • At the weekend I started slowly through Practical Algorithms and Data Structures converting it to TypeScript. Today I implemented a stack and solved balancing parentheses. I’m not pivoting away from making visual things for the web, but RC is a good place to build missing foundational CS knowledge too (while improving my TypeScript and testing).
  • Then I learned about styled components via the CSS course I’m taking.

I think I have some fear or regret about how quickly time in batch is passing, but that is a familiar feeling when I am unproductive. I’ve been kinda ill, and last week was very social, so it’s not surprising. I’ll feel better about it once I’m back to full strength and making things again.
