[#100DaysOfCode] Playwright: I'm learning that I need to re-engineer my thought processes from developer to QA. I was trying to navigate to another page by changing the URL. I need to use the "on page" navigation; works perfectly. I've also been creating a pseudo-Cucumber tooling!!!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 53 I started to work #Playwright into my #Angular Project; I should have looked at the Angular documentation first.

After hundreds (almost thousands) of Coffee Chats about job searching I’ve seen a few things: * a lack of goals, * limited ability to find jobs to apply to effectively, * no identification of companies of interest, * no focus when networking, * and minimal interview research.

I'm a positive disrupter (a term I borrowed). job-squid.com has tools I use in other software and always wanted a better approach, or they are tools I've chatted about and dislike most of what I see on the market. More to come; I've got 9 more tools to build ... #jobhunt #jobsearch #resume

Long term ... I was recently asked about my long-term goals/plan for job-squid.com. Basically, I want to disrupt an industry and provide career tools; short-term job-hunting, long-term career management, and all those "in-between" parts. #jobsearch #jobhunt #careermanagment #resume #100DaysOfCode

More features or better infrastructure? I had conversations with some co-workers today about development in general. It got me thinking about job-squid.com.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 52 For those that haven't heard, job-squid.com is LIVE. It works; there will be much more. I have plans for 9 more features and people are starting to get into the conversation about these tools. Today, I added an odd overlay for non-Desktop mode. #jobhunt #jobsearch

I built a site that is NOT mobile ready. job-squid.com Yes, I clicked the link last night to see if it was working and it looks HORRIBLE on my phone. All data is stored on the local machine. To me it doesn't make sense to use it on mobile. Thoughts?

To all those I’ve had Coffee Chats with … I’ve had hundreds of conversations about the job search, the right job, right company, career switching, career management, and so much more.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 49 I realized that my data requirements might be much more than localStorage can manage. I wrote, integrated, and tested a data layer service to make management of storage over time. All data will be saved locally on the user's machine for Job Squid!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 48 I realized when showcasing Job Squid that it wasn't as scalable as I wanted. I was storing all data in localStorage, which has a 5MB limit. I built a service layer that lets me use IndexedDB. I've got to adjust the unit tests, but it works!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 46 I completed the functional work and Unit Test Coverage for the Resumes to Job Comparison on the site. I got to test the various environments. The env variables did a number on Unit Test Coverage in the pipeline. This work puts me solidly at the 90% mark.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 45 I spent more time on the job-squid tool today. I realized I had a percentage calculation that was wrong; fixed. For the first time, I'm seeing the chips - what matches and what doesn't. It's getting pretty exciting.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 43 I didn't have much time to code; I had a birthday party to take my daughter to - it was fun. I also had one coffee chat that got cut short and one that ran way over. Code-wise, I focused on visual and some thoughts on future features I want to implement.

[VALENTINE’S DAY] I did a thing for the love of my life, Jennifer Fornal. Songfinch helped me create an amazing song. It tells our story in such an amazing way. Check it out! open.spotify.com/album/71WkZ7...

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 41 & 42 Yesterday and today I dove back into comparing resumes and a job posting based on a generated list of keywords. It's working the way I want. I know that I need some scenarios figured out and quite a bit more functionality, but it's coming along.

I'm at the age where my mind firmly believes I am 29, my humor suggest I'm 12, and my body died in the Civil War (and, no I'm not quite that old).

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 38 Today, I got all the functionality in place. I'm leaving the import/export functionality for later across the site. It got the Goals working in a way I'm comfortable with. Unit Tests!!!

I had an amazing time at this event. I hope I get a chance to go back and reconnect with some of the attendees I met last time!

Cynicism. I know we don’t trust each other, but it seems to be getting worse. Them: “I’ve been struggling to find work over the last year.” I see this post, but they’re blocking replies. I know there are scams out there, but there are good people like myself that are blocked from even trying.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 37 Today, I had a good chat with Sumit; working toward what our mentoring is becoming now that he's found the job. Additionally, I got the goals section of the #100DaysOfCode Tracker "mostly" working.

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 36 Today, I used @angular.dev #signals for the first time. I've used Observables and Subjects extensively. I love the new direction!

[#100DaysOfCode] Day 35 I made amazing progress working in the base navigation for Job Squid. I now have a Resume to Job Comparison page, a #100DaysOfCode Tracker page, and an About page up and working. There's more code to write and things I want to get integrated, but it's getting close.

[#100DaysOfCode] Days 33 & 34 Working on Unit Test Coverage is something that I've always found calming and relaxing. I got the tests to 100% coverage! I've added some additional imagery and have ideas for more content on the job-squid site.
