♥ This week's episode: JMSTK'N

Some things dismal; some phenomenal. And with CS50 progress still underway, a combination of the two in many cases. I have found a great intrigue with the Jamstack and specifically this past week with Stackbit, a tool to spin up jamstack sites super easily and efficiently. I powered through some difficulties in ARRAYLAND with CS50's week two assignments. And, I'm looking toward the future as a solo coder/learner hoping to find ways to collaborate with others without the luxury of a bootcamp environment.

1. Harvard's CS50 (the full course)
2. CS50X (somewhat abridged version used by edX for the open ended and free course.)
3. Stackbit: an outstanding addition to the Jamstack ecosystem that I discovered this past week via an episode of the JAMstack Radio podcast.
4. My caesar.c code: quite satisfying after some head scratching over the mechanics of the cipher switch

♠ I Want to Hack

• I Want to Hack began documenting my desire to code and explore software engineering in the early 2012's, and re-emerged in 2020 after many years of working in small business, starting an engineering degree and doing a bunch of self learning in the web-development world.
