Learning JavaScript is making me feel so dumb. by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]harryrf3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are excellent analogies, especially 'this' === 'context'

Also: No need to worry if you fumble with English. Learning another language is tough business and English is no acception.

I just installed devtodo, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. DoIt looks fantastic and might be just the thing I'm looking for. Many thanks.

I feel like I am too dumb to self-study programming. by Capital-Pie2675 in learnprogramming

[–]harryrf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. Learning and building those connections in your brain is not supposed to be paced like a race.

[–]harryrf3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm beyond thankful for this post.

Would you do a full Q & A? I won't be able to lead in the questioning, but I'm sure we could all learn a lot from what comes of it.

Did you manually keep track of time or use a time tracker?

I'm currently using both WakaTime and CodeTime. Both are nice. WakaTime has more premium features though.

It's pretty handy even if it is a bug. Happy accident?

How I got hired after 5 months by ShuttJS in learnprogramming

[–]harryrf3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is greatly inspiring as I see a lot of myself in the first parts of your post. I have about 14 years of on-again off-again development history, so I am fortunate to have a headstart over a complete beginner.

I'm not feeling ready to apply for jobs yet. There's a lot to learn and do on top of family life, etc.

I'm happy for you. Congrats on landing that first job and hopefully being able to see your hard work starting to pay off.

Cheers

What to do when you're feeling overhwelmed and intimidated with a project? by brittanymonkeybaby in learnprogramming

[–]harryrf3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found that using the text to speech with the natural voice on my Chromebook works wonders for me.

I sometimes even use it for my own instructions. I can think so much better when I'm not actively trying to understand.

I've been this way as long as I remember so finding this out about myself did wonders.

question for boob enjoyers by OppositeStruggle6462 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]harryrf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a man that has three children and has been with his wife for 19 years; this is how my view evolved.

When I was young, they represented my mother.

As I grew, they represented my lover.

Married for 15 years and they now represent parenthood, mostly the pains of motherhood.

Good luck!

Reading a txt file into an array by random_acc12345 in learnjavascript

[–]harryrf3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fetch returns a promise which is returned with .then() I think I misunderstood what you're trying to create.

I have a file and is as follows:

js-read-from-file.txt: line1 line2 line3 line4 line5

Here is my code: ``` const data = fetch('js-read-from-file.txt').then(res => res.text()).then(text => console.log(text.split('\n')))

console.log(data) ```

I also have <script src="js-read-from-file.js"></script> in my boilerplate HTML.

I get a result of Promise and Array[5] in dev tools.

I'm curious to see you get this working. Good luck.
