Last week I started on the project for this class with my group and we submitted a topic. Surprisingly it was approved on the first submission which was unexpected. My Algorithms class spent most of the week preparing for the first test come Monday. I also started on the project for OOP with a single partner, which has a much different feeling than working with a large group.
What's in your way?
What is currently in my way is understanding how everything works and fits together for the project in this class. I have never used any of the tools needed for the project, so it has a very steep learning curve. Another thing in my way is my upcoming Algorithms test on Monday. This is the class I am least interested in so it is the test I am most nervous about.
What will you do next week?
Next week I will finish the project for this class as well as the project for my other class with Prof. Downing. I will take my first Algorithms test of the semester and hopefully do well. I also have to start preparing for my first Chinese oral test that takes place the following Monday. I have to start studying so early because it is so highly emphasized this semester.
What did you think of the talk by Ed on GCP and Hannah on AWS?
What did you think of the talk by Ed on GCP and Hannah on AWS?
I enjoyed both talks quite a lot, but I found Hannah's much more informative, while Ed seemed more like he was trying to sell a product, which he is. Hannah's was so good that it made it seem like AWS was easier to use, but from the experience of trying to set up a bucket for both AWS and GCP, other than setting up https on GCP being unnecessarily difficult, GCP was much easier to navigate. The $300 credit applied to my new account did not hurt either.
What's your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
My tip-of-the-week is that if you are working in a group, choose a communication method, or supplementary method, that does not rely on everyone in the group being present at the same time to effectively communicate. For example, while chat room services like Slack are very convenient once everyone is in the room, it is not conducive to actually getting people to the room in the first place.
