I tried to take a personal day and do something fun. I wanted to try and configure my Vim to include some of the features that VS Code and other text editors have. I tried and failed miserably LOL. I need to put off any more Vim / Config efforts. It is clearly outside of my comfort zone. One step at a time I will get all this software stuff figured out. Hopefully.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

• Worked on installing NeoVim to add plugins which would make my vim config have some of the nice features that exist in VS Code. I failed and I think I will hold off on this for now. I felt completely lost which means I am probably out of my depth.

Conclusion

That’s all for today. This is my sixth round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five into round six. I am currently working through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. My goal is to become more familiar with algorithms and data structures. This goal was derived from my goal to better understand operating systems and key programs that I use in the terminal regularly e.g. Git. This goal was in term derived from my desire to better understand the fundamental tools used for coding outside of popular GUIs. This in turn was derived from my desire to be a better back-end developer.

I have no idea if my path is correct but I am walking down this road anyways. Worst case scenario I learn a whole bunch of stuff that will help me out on my own personal projects.
