While I wrote that title I heard the voice of my training app in my head… so that’s fun.

This month I’ve been doing more than normal and I honestly have no clue how I’m balancing it all. Last night I relaxed and watched Idiocracy and After and blogged a bit, neither took a ton of concentration which was exactly what I needed.

HACKTOBERFEST:
I am participating in Hacktoberfest this month. My plan was to do one the first couple days and then one each Saturday. Basically I’m one behind where I was planning to be at.

First Pull Request:

This was a super simple one just to get used to the process of doing a PR. There was good documentation and I basically just had to put in a new JavaScript object of a movie, emojis, etc.

Second Pull Request:

I had a goal to do something in C++ and since I’m just learning I decided to do one that was a HackerRank problem. I didn’t want people to just be able to copy the answer blindly so I also added in a couple comments about why the answer is what it is and why it isn’t as straightforward as I thought it’d be. I did one on a for loop and one on pointers.

I had only done pointers and then I was looking at PRs other people have put in and someone else had already done that. So note to myself (and others): LOOK AT THE PENDING PRs.

How's everyone else's Hacktoberfest going?
