So I have been using a basic Vim setup with TypeScript and I’ll tell you, it isn’t pretty. I miss the VS Code error warnings while typing and and the intellisense more than ever. It is really annoying reading errors on builds. I’m going to stick it out for the rest of this project but I need to find a better solution. Maybe I’ll try using VS code for mainly TypeScript work and Vim for other things.

TLDR;

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

• TypeScript -> Read through the docs of function types in TypeScript. I’m slowly getting back into the groove of things. Using Vim definitely didn’t help. Using Vim as my code editor while working with TypeScript makes things feel a lot newer even though I have a lot of experience. It’s an adjustment for sure.
• Practice -> Setup utility functions to handle API calls and pulling the relevant data I need for my app. I have like two more steps left before I finish the project. 1. pull live data. 2. Add functions to handle switches between locations.

Goal For Round 7 of the #100DaysofCode Challenge

This is my seventh round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five and round six into round seven. 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 turn 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.
