Log #5: Building Apps, Building Skills, Building My Life

by Colby R. Rice | The Sable Singularity

This Week’s Space Tea

I’ve been gone for a minute… but basically because life has been busy, and incredible, and challenging, and eventful, and TRIUMPHANT.

I started a Product Engineering Taskforce.

I finished and published a software engineering capstone.

I earned my first software engineering certificate and started my second one.

I started a 90-day coding challenge.

On day 22 of that challenge, I shipped the MVP alpha for a Writer’s Tool app I’m designing.

Girl, I’ll say it again… I shipped my first writer’s tool!

I’m tired. Bags under the eyes on fleek. But I’m also really happy.

    • The Product Engineering Taskforce I’m leading at work!
    • The Timeline Tool app I’m developing… and how it’s OFFICIALLY in its alpha MVP stage!
    • WHY I created the Timeline Tool app
    • My 90-day Coding Challenge: becoming a software engineer through practice, not just study
    • Bringing my app from ugly “alpha stage” to “pretty alpha”, lol
    • Finally EARNING my certificate in Scripted and Compiled Programming languages
    • Finally STARTING my certificate in Advanced Software Development

Enter the Mahogany Matrix!
