I want to code more because I want to learn more from different people, and also transition careers.
I know I'll reach my "code more" goal when an employer is willing to take a chance on me and offer me a position with a team that cares about mentorship, my network of developers has grown, and I can talk someone through my code confidently without hesitation of hoping I know what I said.
My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:
knowing when I have the most time alone and be able to work in silence
breaking things up into tasks and mapping them out
doing standups with my friends from full-stack boot camp
Of these assumptions, my riskiest is not respecting the time I dedicated to coding vs everything else in my life.
When I think about my riskiest assumption, three possible root causes are:
Fear from imposter syndrome, and that I will never be good enough to get hired
Insomnia and then crashing
Having developers block and wasting too much time figuring it out
3 ways I might address these root causes are:
Respecting my workout time during the day
Avoid coffee after 5pm
Draw or do a creative coding session
Of these, the biggest cause that's worth tackling first is knowing when I can have time to myself and focus.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for the great question! Standups are basically check-ins with people to keep yourself accountable for what you are working on, for example, when I check in with my former classmates/friends, we usually indicate the following:
DONE: Wireframe (sketches of layout)
DOING: Working on frontend routes for react-router
BLOCKERS: Unsure of how to set up component hierarchy
I hope this clarified it a bit better, if not, please let me know :)

Hi D,
You said one of your goals is:
What are standups?
