Monday and Tuesday

• Pretty rough altogether
  • Still getting used to Clojure, especially the environmental and tooling
  • Websockets, setting up a websocket server, learning how to use Reframe, it’s a lot!
  • Too much newness can be discouraging

Today

• Gonna focus on building some frontend templates
  • Good opportunity to use tech I have a good grasp on (CSS, HTML)
  • Good opportunity to practice and refine Clojure skills already acquired (http-kit, compjure, ring)

Mantra

YOU DON’T HAVE TO EAT THE WHOLE PIE
