So, I’ve just ended the “basics” in Elixir and I’d like to test myself, or something like that, with some basic project, so that I know that I can continue. Does anyone have any project ideas? PS: Please nothing to do with web, it’s just not my cup of tea and not my area of “enjoyment”.

Sorry, I don’t understand docs.

Imagine You could turn any sequential code into concurrent mode… You could use hundred of thousand of processes, each isolated from the others, each doing it’s work, and communicating via message passing. In case one fail, it is isolated from others, the rest continue without noticing… and special…

Wot… Sorry I got lost pretty fast in there.

I saw your Reddit post and you shutting down a lot of the suggestions. Seems to be the same thing over here. Also let me help you a little bit: specify what confuses you so that people can adjust accordingly. Just saying [image] SunPoke04: I kinda don’t understand docs… [image] SunPoke0…

Also since people are recommending to watch Jose’s Advent of Code streams, recently I’ve been working on compiling the important bits of his streams into shorter videos. So you don’t have to manually scrub through hours of footage because I have spent countless hours doing just that for you. I have…

You’re being very hard on yourself, but at the same time seem to be protecting yourself from any challenges. It’s a common paradox, but an unhelpful one. Each time you say “I’m bad at …” it would be worth probing that a bit rather than assuming there’s an absolute barrier in your way. Being “bad at …

Good suggestion. I’ve watched a couple, and in a way it’s kind of encouraging to see that even “programming heroes” like Jose must ease stepwise towards a solution. Just like the rest of us.

Would agree that advent of code is a good way to do this :slight_smile:

Elixir koans use tests to run through concepts like sigils, strings, or tasks. It has the left hand side of a match and the right hand side is usually ___ and looking for you to fill in the blank to make the test pass. You move through each test and each section until you’re done and all the tests p…

In the elixir exercism, just 6. But that’s because of the mentoring.
