JQuery

Yesterday, I paired with Ivan. I like the fact that even if he had not been fully recommended for phase 2, he kicks ass in phase 3!

We build a new version of JQuery, just to make sure we understood things, we got in the mind of libraries makers, and we broke the idea of “this is magic” that everybody has. The idea is to not be a consumer of music, but more of an audiophile, or even a sound engineer if that is what we are looking for (Said by Steven).

And so we worked on that, made the whole part of the library we had to, with clean and tricky javascript.

In the end, I had a very good coding day. At 6, we had finished the program, understood what we had to take from it, and had a clean refactored code. All in all, I can say we rocked ;)

Superego

Yesterday was also the new day where phase 1 learn about their superego. Just like every time a phase get in one, we get to witness that change in some mentalities, that feeling that make people talk more, share more of their experiences, knowing that things happened the same way for all of us.

In the end, some, mostly outspoken people, reacted with the experience being easy on them. When you don’t hesitate in sharing and talking, sharing about your superego should not affect you that much, right?

Some others were more affected and ended up sharing more (Go David!).

Most of them though had already one week before that hard session. So in the end, it was “less” heavy on them.

But since that made people share a bit more, I love it ^.^

Cookies

I have a tremendous amount of cookies in my locker.

Coming here, I started eating a lot of cookies. I went to good bakeries, found ways to get more, etc.. to the point that nowadays, I am called “Cookie Monster”.

A few days ago, I went and get some at Subway. When it’s 10€ for 12 in your country, but 5$ for 12 here… you don’t hesitate much, do you?
But then I also got some cookies from “Batter”, a very good bakery down the street apparently.

So in my locker I have close to 30 huge cookies just waiting for me.

Then, a funny thing happened. 2 days ago, I paired with Chris. We finished in a decent amount of time, and while he was “expected” to get home around 10PM, he actually came home around 7.

So his girlfriend ended up saying: “How come?”
And the answer she got was apparently : “Quentin”…

After that, she just suggested she would bake cookies to thank me…

So… I am getting more cookies! Thuy is gonna be so proud ;)
