We’re off to the races. The Hack Reactor team gave us a long list of material to cover. It’s all about moving around in the terminal like a ninja, deeply understanding basic concepts of JavaScript, getting git and understanding the culture of Hack Reactor and how the hell we’re going to do this crazy thing.
The most surprising thing to me is how deep the rabbit hole goes. Each day I’m encountering new programs like vim, nano, git and more. I’m constantly stuck on blank black screens Googleing how to quit and save the file I made with almost no edits to it. It’s like crawling across the desert and repeatedly finding that you’re stuck behind a wall.
The list of material is pretty massive so I’ve just been heads down working my tail off with every second I have.
We’re on a road trip to Los Angeles and I’m running JavaScript files at just under 80 miles an hour on highway 5. I’m not driving… cool your horses. Every second is an opportunity to pull out the computer and start working my way through the materials.
