Okay, here’s my blog post about my “projaska” experience, written in a casual, personal style:
So, I started this thing called “projaska,” right? I didn’t really know what I was getting into, to be honest. I just saw the name and thought, “Hey, that sounds kinda cool, let’s try it.” It’s like picking a movie based only on the title – could be great, could be a disaster.
First, I fumbled around trying to figure out what “projaska” even was. Was it an app? A website? Some weird new programming language? Turns out, it was a small project about creating a basic task management tool. Nothing too fancy, just something to keep track of to-dos.
Getting My Hands Dirty
I decided to use Python because, well, I like Python. It’s like my comfy pair of slippers. I created a new folder on my messy desktop (don’t judge) and named it “projaska” – keeping it original, you know?
Then, I opened up my code editor and started typing. At first, I just wanted to get something, anything, working. I made a simple list to store the tasks. Like this:
- “Buy groceries”
- “Walk the dog”
- “Conquer the world” (maybe later)
I ran the code, and boom! It showed my list. Felt good, like I’d actually accomplished something. Baby steps, right?
Next, I wanted to be able to add new tasks. So, I wrote some more code that let me type in a new task and added it to the list. It was pretty basic, no fancy user interface or anything. Just plain text.
Then came the tricky part – marking tasks as “done”. I spent a good hour or two messing around with this. I tried a bunch of different things, made a few mistakes, and googled a lot. Finally, I figured out a way to do it. It wasn’t pretty, but it worked!
The “Aha!” Moment
I keep adding new features to the tool.
It’s all about taking small steps, making mistakes, learning from them, and celebrating the little victories. I add the feature of remove task, change the priority of task, and search some specific tasks.
The feeling when that “done” feature finally worked? Awesome. It’s like solving a puzzle or finally beating that level in a video game you’ve been stuck on. That’s what keeps me going with these little projects.
So, that’s “projaska” so far. It’s not going to win any awards, but it’s mine. And I learned a bunch along the way. That’s the whole point, right?
