Log Entry 1

My team member and I paired today to investigate the new and mysterious Java syntax. Some odd behaviour was observed while isolating a specimen: arrays don’t seem to be responding to gravity anymore.

While on orbit we also managed to TDD FizzBuzz using JUnit and the familiar patterns of red-green-refractor started re-emerging. This must be a clear sign that our tiny expedition is on the right track!

Log Entry 2

The investigation, now in its second phase, focuses on Spring Boot. The shared objective between my new pair partner and I is to observe, decipher and then try to mimic the code.

After a minor success of getting a “Hello World” on our Command Station, we delved deeper into the asteroid belt.

//Static// Trying to reconnect…

We found ourselves surrounded by void, the main engine seems to be losing thrust and this is all public now.
