Sometimes I get stuck and I need a break.

When I make a commitment to myself and I break from it, I try to remind myself to be as kind and understanding with myself as I would be to anyone else.

I'm not very good at forgiving myself, but I'm learning.

I think that my ability to forgive myself is probably also related to my ability to accept the grace of others.

Just another part of #100DaysOfCode 😊

More code inbound.

Day 3 of #100DaysOfCode is in chapter 3, Functions.

Functions are another simple concept. We take some piece of code that performs a task and we encapsulate it so we can reuse it without repeating ourselves.

Functions are one of the simplest forms of encapsulation, which is obviously a very big concept found throughout programming and computer science.

There will be more on functions tomorrow as I continue the chapter.

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode. Today is flow control in Python.

Thinking about such a basic concept as flow control, especially in such a plain language as python, is a strange contrast to working on problems that are difficult by being complex.

The elements of flow control are interesting: Booleans, conditionals, blocks, and even the very procedural way in which statements (like the ELIF) are written in Python is a tease.

Their very nature says something about the logic of computing.

I'm starting #100DaysOfCode today! I'm working through a couple books by @AlSweigart.

First up is Automate the Boring Stuff, and after I crush that I'll move on to Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python.

I'm a computer science student and I've programmed in python before, but never studied it directly. My goal is to increase my knowledge of python by writing python code, and to make my day job easier with a little automation.
