Overheard in Chingu (Voyage launch remix)
Random lines taken out of context from the Chingu coding cohorts!
I am poised to start building a project and overcome the fear of failure.
The enthusiasm is through the roof in Chingu.
my coding journey has been - oh lets make this - hold up i gotta make it look good come on now. so ive learned Sass, flexbox, just to make projects look half-decent before the logic even comes in lmao
PS: Suilad mellyn is elvish phrase for Hello friends ^^
Your team is like IKEA furniture: we give you the essentials and you ASSEMBLE it yourself! ;p
How can I help?
just set goals for yourself, and push forward to them, right now my goal is to learn more about node.js so i can send emails with nodemailer in my reactapps. So while i’m learning about that i’m making 2 different projects that use that, so I will HAVE to learn it. :slightly_smiling_face:
Got a response from the maintainer of the module I’m using, at least I’m pointed in the right direction now. What I was trying to do is impossible so that would explain why I couldn’t do it lol
I told one of my teachers about Chingu, he said it was one of the most exciting projects he had ever heard of
I couldnt get to check all the messages here yesterday, but I really like what I saw regarding the number of nationalities we have here and the intro you guys are posting
Make amazing things, we will — Growth in skills, happen it will — :relieved: we need a Yoda bot…
Good morning! So I am supposed to speak at a conference in the fall, and I’ve been struggling with what to talk about. (This is the first time someone has invited me out of the blue to speak. Normally I submit a proposal and know my topic ahead of time.) I think I’d like to speak about my experience with Chingu in an effort to encourage more librarians to learn how to code. Do you have any objection to that? Would you be OK with an onslaught of chatty, and potentially, confused librarians?
Totally. Everywhere you look in here there’s someone working super hard at all times of the day. There’s motivation around every corner. I love it here.
Have something to strive to and you will find yourself at the end at somepoint. Just help others along the way as you get there, it helps you and them. :slightly_smiling_face:
I actually created the app [random team-name generator Temere] cause we could not find a name for our team in the rhinos cohort
Wow, I am overwhelmed by the excitement and diversity of the people here.
We come from different backgrounds and cultures but share similar goals. It’s amazing…
You guys are awesome!
Go Chingu!
Hey there ! .. If I stop responding at some point, it’s because I’ve crossed the German border .. On my way to see an old Viking settlement
I embrace “I don’t know what the Hell I’m doing’ because that means I’m learning and if I’m learning I’m having fun. Especially when that “a-ha” moment arrives when I do get it and I can start all over in a new subject area.
Anyone has experience with oauth? Unable to login through github on a local setup?
Gym has made my confidence high, I talked with a random person today and didn’t die….
At work we tend to have the philosophy of strong opinions weakly held, or in other words, don’t be afraid to have an opinion and feel strongly about a piece of tech or a working methodology etc. but leave your ego at the door and be open to other points of view, seems to work really well for us as a company
So, I am working on this bot, that takes a Direct link(http/ftp) and converts it into a torrent and then gives you the torrent file. When you start that torrent, The Torrent Downloader will start downloading from the webseed. In simple words, I take a link, Download that file on server, Create a torrent file and then serve it to you. And heroku some how thinks that I am doing Peer-to-peer stuff and would not allow me to upload my code there. :disappointed:
our code is starting to get slim, optimized, documented (for the most part) and uses the latest specs, also I’ve been removing npm crappy modules like there’s no tomorrow
I love spending time looking at crappy code and finding way to refactor it. spend my weekends doing that, find it relaxing
@channel Just dropping this here — I wrote a Medium article on how @belcurv and I improved Whobot, based on some advice at the Node meetup I went to last week. I’d love feedback (and, of course, :heart:s) from y’all! https://medium.com/@peter.j.martinson/how-to-crush-a-programs-bottleneck-double-loops-28ffc8ff7379
My dream for the distant future is to have my own tech company (I really want to develop tech for the future )
[@usernamehere] … you’re a chingu … it’s impossible for you to be boring!
