It's crazy how complicated the “modern web” has become...

Is realizing this complexity and getting hang of it and then choosing the best ones out of the wilderness depending on product case is what developers especially in open source-based companies paid mainly for?

Knowledge and getting through javascript fatigue and then applying it with programming makes the job enough tougher to get started off with or to learn and is overwhelming for someone just starting out.

Javascript: 6 entries 2h 30m

  • Learnt using currying functions using lodash library
  • Watched videos from MPJ's FunFunFunction channel on advanced usage of Reduce and some other higher-order functions.
  • Got really enlightened with hoisting and scoping concepts in JS

Computer Science: 7 entries 2h 55m

  • Got a detailed overview and understanding on the concept of asymptotic notation, time complexity and calculating it for various cases except the recursive ones which require recurrence.
  • Covered concepts, algorithms and various methods abstract data type structures for:

Time complexity analysis for the above stuff is yet to be done along with properly studying the code implementation.
