Ideation Abounds
Found an interesting book I had saved. 140 simple python programs. Gave me an idea for my portfolio site. Might make it a randomizer button that loads one of the simple programs side by side within the code.

Group Projects
One of my favorite things we've done in my Intro to CS classes is having code reviews with small groups over a few assignments. I've found them to be incredibly interesting and helpful. Getting to see others approach things like doc strings and class inheritance helps contextualize a lot of what the instructors teach.

Reading over and over
Because I've taken a lot of personal steps to learning programming and coding over the years, I've also had the same concepts presented to me in a wide variety of ways.
It's easy enough to follow along with writing your own scripts from a video tutorial or book, but for me, I think it's limited my lateral thinking for code.

Searching through searches
Working on some homework to modify bubble sort and insertion sort functions. Was able to get them mostly done. Still trying to figure out how to sort case insensitive lists to finish up.

Silly starts to silly careers
I've had my silly little flask test site up for a month now. I enjoy going to my star wars jokes page everytime. I'm following along with Flask Web Development by Miguel Grinberg. Picked it up in a Humble Bundle a few years ago.
