Day 3 of 100: Focussed on PostMan

 For my day 3 objective, I completed the sections on managing requests through PostMan following the complete guide to PostMan course on Udemy. 95% of the topics covered were things I already knew but served as a good refresher. 

Picked up a couple of things:

- XHR - XML HTTP requests, I am gonna use it now when I inspect the network tab in chrome dev tools. 

- Importing requests from browser into PostMan, so cool. Never did this earlier.

Day 2 of 100: 100 days of code challenge

 Completed day 10 of the 100 days of learning python on udemy. 

Day 1 of 100: 100 days of code challenge

 Completed Day 9 lesson of the 100 days of code for Python course in Udemy.

100 days of code - failed the first attempt

I failed to keep up with the 100 days of code challenge that I started in the Thanksgiving break. Got a decent start and was motivated but once work started back up, I had no chance to complete the daily assignments. 

Factors that led to the failure to keep up:

• Randomization at work. Still a small team and I do different types of work each day (people management, process upkeep, individual contributions to codebase and support tickets, strategic planning) that leads to significant mental fatigue by 7 pm. Opening up the coding course at that time and focussing is just tough. 
• Working from home with 3 kids definitely puts a strain on the amount of disposable time I have while they are awake and active. Setting aside time at night became next to impossible. 

How am I going to succeed in the next round:

• Set aside time in the morning before work and before the kids wake up. 

Lets try this one simple hack and see how the second attempt goes. 

Day 7 of 100: 100 days of code

 First day of work after time off and it was brutal. Did not get a chance to push commits to git but completed day 8 of the python bootcamp course. Enjoyed working on the Caesar Cipher assignment.
