A Pen by Akira on [CodePen]. The Ultimate Goal of this project is to average a person's GitHub contributions over the past 31 days and award them a fire rating based on the amount of contributions made. I will make heavy use of KaDw's API here: https://github.com/KaDw/github-calendar-api. I made this as part of a Mintbean Hackathon on Jun 22, 2020.

Eric Elliott's "Master the JavaScript Interview" Series

A collection of links to the "Master the JavaScript Interview" series of medium stories by Eric Elliott.


	Why you want to connect with this person and what you hope to talk about

	I contacted Troy Denkinger in Brooklyn, and asked if he could talk about the music industry and tech (he works at a music distribution company),
	as well as how to find a job in New York. I also asked to talk about one of his projects on github.

	I already emailed him. He has yet to email me back.
	What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

	I will send a LITERAL thank you card through snail mail immediately following our talk. I will also ask if we can have another conversation

	1. Music curation in general (spotify, pandora, apple music, itunes, etc.)
	Curation: the selection, collection, organisation and/or presentation of items, typically with the use of particular expertise, to be featured in an exhibition, programme or performance.
	we could deduce that music curation is about what music to select, organise and/present to evoke emotion or express something. It’s about the experience behind music, the emotion evoked the story being told, the deeper meaning behind that dope beat you head on the radio or the lyrics you can’t get out of your head.

	Essentially, giving people a fucking awesome experience of music like how we used to do when we made mix tapes for each other. but you have to really know the person and have an emotional
	connection with them for that mix tape to REALLY mean something.
	biggest thing to START with: know your audience.
	" It’s always about research. So make sure you’re using your network and thinking about people who know stuff, and test out ideas beforehan

	Task manager:
	Please unpack this section of the tutorial:
	"One quick note about the form: you'll notice that there's a hidden field with a value of `PUT`. Normally, HTML forms only allow `GET` or `POST` requests (see more information [here](http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_method.asp)).

	We're going to want this form to access a route in our controller (that we'll create momentarily) using `PUT` to be consistent with conventions about the HTTP verb that is used when updating a resource (take a quick look at [this table](http://www.restapitutorial.com/lessons/httpmethods.html) if this is new information).

	HTML won't allow us to use `method='put'` in our `form` tag, but passing it as a hidden value gives our controller the information it needs to route the request correctly."


	Rack tutorial:

	1. Included but shouldn't

	Absolutely do NOT include the sentence "Not everyone who starts Turing, finishes Turing." You touch on that later and it flows much better.


	2. didn't include but should mention

	The #6 assignement should be broken into two parts.
	Part one: suggested exercises to build and strenghten an outside support structure (ask the turing therapists for their input on this, they will have some good
	exercises I'm sure)

	The greatest loss in my life serendipitously led me to where I am now. When I was twenty I was at the peak of my academic career with a shining bright future in an operatic career ahead of me. One sunny, gorgeous afternoon, while en route to my boyfriends house, I got a phone call from my dad, in which he informed me in short, clipped tones that mom had cancer.



	She died, two gruesome and horrific years later.



	I watched my mom rapidly deteriorate from mathematical and academic genius into nothingness-unable to speak or move at the end, a paralyzed body lying in a hospital bed ridden with pain that she could not cry out and express, only silently shed tears down her beautiful face in hopes someone would take note of and give her a dose of morpheine.
