Day 42

End of Full MEAN

As of now, I'm 60/70% done with the last assignment. Gonna crank it out tonight. To be really frank, I feel really burned out. If you asked me last week how I felt, I would say pretty damn good. Going into full stack MEAN was a huge jump, not in difficulty (although there is a gap) but in how much patience is required. Sometimes I get so absorbed in how the information flows that I overlook a lot of syntax errors. And because there are so many files, you have to check each one to make sure the flow of data is correct and after hours of doing this, it can get really tiring. 

For our black belt, we know that we're gonna have the following being tested:

1. Login/Registration 
2. Validations
3. Associations in Mongo
4. CRUD operations

And, as I've said before, it's nothing new. But adding them all together can really wear out someone's patience simply because the task is pretty ginormous. I wrote that during the Red Belt Exam, it felt like the 4 and a half hours flew by. And I feel like this time it's gonna be even more so since we only have 4 hours. And on top of that, we have to deploy our project. But this is what it means to be a programmer; to really love what you're doing even when you would prefer not to. So let's go. I'll update you guys tomorrow on deployment.
