Meet the Developer AMAs
🎙Shout-out to Musaab Bakheit (thesabby) who graciously hosted the AMA this past weekend (URL below).
🗓 The next AMA will be this Saturday and it will be with the amazing Van Tabbert! She’s an incredibly inspiring person (think juggling a family, learning, and job as a developer at WalMart) who has been a part of numerous Chingu teams. I’ve seen thousands of people go through Chingu and she’s one of the best leaders I’ve witnessed, full stop. 💯
See #chingu-news for an update later in the week on the exact time.

Had a great meeting and came away with specific plans for the week

Two of us learned the basics of React Hooks. The challenge for me this week was related, because my algorithm must retrieve the JSON for all YouTube videos on a channel only 50 at a time using Axios, which is fine, except I wanted to learn Hooks so has to use useState (easy) and useEffect (still kind of discombobulated about it) with a recursive function. Also, I am stuck on learning to unit test React Hook style code, especially when my code seems quite specific to our app.
actually our project manager got invitation for job interview
Had a team meeting (I couldn’t attend; I was too sick); added list of desired components/features to bug tracker; began work in earnest on repo

We determined what we need for the front end and back end for the most part.
I had a successful LaunchCode interview and hope to be interviewing for Dev jobs soon!
