A bad year for code

A bad year for code

5 Comments , Edit


2017 ends in 54 hours and 16 minutes and as you'd expect, we're going to spend these last hours looking back onto the year behind us.

As the title suggests 2017 wasn't great for me talking in term of code. I wrote so little code this year it's embarrassing. Now don't get me wrong here, it's not that I didn't code - I coded a lot actually. I started a Digital Media Agency with three friends (check it out here) and did a lot of professional work in the last four months, but I did not learn anything new. The work I did was mostly web-based and it required everything I already knew how to do. If I spend 10 hours making something that doesn't teach me something new about this field, then I don't consider that time well spent at all because what's the point of repeating what I already know. To code is to improve every time. So talking in that sense, it has been a bad year for "code.Ammar{}".

On the other hand, this year I finally graduated from High School and moved to a university(College(??)) to study Software Engineering. Although in the first semester there wasn't much to learn as they mainly taught the basics and being this field for as long as I have been, I can at least say that I've got the basics down. BUT still, it was a learning experience nonetheless as I got back to a language I had said goodbye to a long time ago i.e C#

Although a few years ago I shifted to web development completely, and as much of a great decision it was, getting back to Windows/Desktop App development was quite a refresher and really good in the sense of code experience. I learned a lot of things about C#, such as the fact that you can code C# in Linux, and made a not-so-cool final semester project in like an hour(Check it out) and helped a few other with theirs too!

In conclusion, this year wasn't great for my personal coding journey and I hope 2018 will be an improvement to that, but on the other hand, this year I started studying code "professionally" and well, life's been good. Doing what I love at school, well that's the dream.

I guess that's enough sulking for this post, see you next year! Oh yeah and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

Hey there, I'm Ammar!

      Expa is riddled with bugs- It's built on RoR(Ruby on Rails), a framework I've never worked on but from a developers point of view, I think there's a lot of room for improvement. For example, the developers should use something like Git(private of course) and allow AIESEC members to send pull requests to fix simple errors they find. Other than that full-stack JS conversion would be great.

      There's a lot to say but for now this would be a start. Allowing AIESEC members to send pull-request. For the rest, a comment box isn't a great place to talk

    On the off chance that the edges set up show these strategies are not powerful, the control interaction then, at that point moves to the utilization of pesticides in designated regions. pest control East London
