Platforms And Monads And Sagas

๐Ÿง - this week i have spent a lot of time trying to get to grips with redux saga. i can see the benefits of it at a high level but it involves a lot of abstractions that iโ€™m still a bit uneasy with. i definitely know lots more this week that i did last week
๐Ÿ”‘ - iโ€™ve been pairing with a platform engineer this week working on setting up two-key deployment for our production jenkins, i am not sure how helpful i was as a pairing partner but itโ€™s great to learn more about deployment and how stuff fits together in jenkins
๐Ÿ“ฆ - i might have some more of a clue what a monad is this week
๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป - today i ran Code Club, our weekly session where we work on code katas. loads more people turned up than usual (because weโ€™ve moved it to a friday) and it was lots and lots of fun, spent some time thinking pretty deeply about where to start writing tests and at what point in writing which tests to start designing an implementation
