Today was the beginning of Hack Reactor’s March 2023 cohort, a program designed to develop one into a job-ready Software Engineer.

I will be creating a journal during my 13 week journey with the following goals in mind:

• Produce at least a daily retrospective to provide some insight into the true experience of the program
• Uphold some personal accountability for my efforts throughout the day
• Allow for the potential to grow a following and develop my personal brand
• Create a reference moving forward in order to spot potential areas of improvement
• Reinforce learning through reflection and attempting to teach/explain concepts to aim for mastery of the material

Daily Retrospective

Today we:

• Covered introductory information about the program
• Participated in pair programming covering the program’s pre-course’s recursion problems
• Discussed hoisting and usage of var/let/const
• Created a video “acting as the interpreter” where we discussed evaluation of a code snippet without running the code
• Completed a checkpoint, essentially a quiz, which covered usage of this and prototypes
