the laziness remains

code test feed back

I got feedback on my code test the other day, here's my takeaway notes:

• Always do the most accesible thing - semantic html, buttons, links etc
• Do research on "best practices" as much as possible
• Have a presentation template already made
• Ask what they want to see most, you probably won't get the whole thing finished.
• Don't get lazy in a rush, it will be obvious. The urgency is gone, the laziness remains.

They want me back for another interview, exciting! They wanted one tonight but I said I wasn't available. I'd like a little more time to prepare, I feel quite nervous. I'd also like to apply for some more jobs, so I don't feel desperate.

conjugação!

I've written up the current verbcard wireframe using tailwind - it's a little off but I'm surprised how close I managed to get.

Here's the wireframe:

Here's the actual thing:

It's a little tighter on the spacing, that was trying (and failing) to accomodate this:

The next steps are:

• Design a solution for longer verbs
• Tighten up implementation
• Clarify design decisions as rules (spacing, widths)
• Design tablet and mobile options
• Change readme
• Create dev blog

bad news

The ipod doesn't work :(

The battery is shot, probably hasn't been used in a long time. I'm thinking of trying to fix it, I think a friend has a soldering iron I might be able to use. All I need to do is get a new battery. The official ones are expensive, I think I'll try a generic one. I don't know much about this stuff, but I do know enough about pattern recognition to give it a go.
