On Thursday I completed the “ES6” lesson for FreeCodeCamp.org’s “JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification”. That’s probably the hardest lesson I’ve gone through so far. A lot of the new syntax doesn’t seem to build well on the existing structures or my previous knowledge, so it doesn’t feel intuitive at all. And several of the exercises seemed to present new language features without providing a very helpful example of when the feature would be useful. I am concerned that I won’t remember this stuff at times when it would be good to use it.
I’m focusing a lot of these lessons and avoiding employer outreach. I shouldn’t really do that. I need to split my time between the two. And improving my branding assets. And helping with UXPA. And taking care of household things that need my immediate attention. And getting a little rest during the day. And not screaming in frustration.
