Friday, 8 November - Day 45 of 75
🚀 Short Summary of the Day Today’s coding session took an unexpected turn when a simple UI bug turned into a six-hour debugging marathon! Managed to resolve it and gained a new lesson in tracking down nested layouts. Also mapped out an automated AI feature for my personal platform, enjoyed some Pokémon, and revisited The Equalizer with Queen Latifah for some tech-themed “research.” 😆🐾 📋 Detailed Progress and Achievements • UI Bug Troubleshooting: • What seemed like a quick layout adjustment spiraled into hours of debugging due to a mysterious UI shift that made my changes unresponsive. Turns out, a nested layout file in the parent directory was overriding all my styles, causing the unexpected layout behavior. 😅 • After finally identifying the culprit, I adjusted the directory setup and got everything back on track. Lesson learned: always check for parent layouts in complex structures! • AI Feature Process Mapping: • Drafted a process map for an AI-driven feature I’m developing for my platform, aimed at automating workflows and text generation. • This custom feature is inspired by n8n’s automation flows, but I’m designing it with a more in-house, tailored approach. There’s still a long way to go, but I’m excited about where this could lead for automating various tasks on my platform. 🤖 • Gaming Break: • Spent some time with Pokémon Scarlet, making more progress in the game. It’s been a great way to unwind in between projects. • Series Binge - The Equalizer: • Restarted The Equalizer series for the third time. Robyn McCall’s character, played by Queen Latifah, is amazing, and there’s plenty of tech and hacking action, which counts as “research” in my book! 📺💻 • Evening Routine: • Took my dog for a walk, followed by my daily Spanish and math lessons. • My mum went out for the night, so I had a quiet, relaxing evening with my dog and a bit of downtime. 💭 Final Thoughts Today’s unexpected debugging session was a reminder of how even the simplest issues can derail progress in complex projects. But every challenge is an opportunity to learn! Looking forward to tackling more work over the weekend, feeling a bit more prepared for whatever comes next.
