π€ learn Rails (8%): From zero to deploy
Peeked into the the Rails deployment ecosystem, i.e. shared hosts/VPSes, full-service deployment co's, cloud deployment services, etc.
Had a nice Heroku refresher, learned some new commands, and deployed test app to production environment.
Bonus: discovered (on my own!) that Heroku has a setting that allows us to link our GitHub repo as a deployment method, et voila! Reduces two commands to one `$ πππ ππππ`. Less typing, more shipping! π₯

A better guide to the MVC architectural pattern than the one I'd learnt before -- and finally a lightbulb switched on as to why "Model" is named as such! Duh!π‘ (i'm dumb)
Got the traditional "hello, world!" test page working (although, i personally tend to default to "hello darkness..." π¦)
There was also a nice Git refresher in today's lessons.

Haven't been working out consistently since July. Reason? Not sure, honestly.
Today I did 2 sets of each exercise instead of the usual 3 to slowly ease back into momentum and not stress myself out unnecessarily.

π¨βπ» learn Ruby on Rails (3%)
Installing Rails itself wasn't as straightforward, which is weird because I've installed and built a working Rails app 3-4 years ago on the same damn laptop!?!
Then there were issues with Yarn, which involved `nvm`, and something to do with node and npm etc etc. Anyways, nothing a little Technical Sophisticationβ’ (*cough*hoursofgoogling*cough*) couldn't resolve.
iTerm now launches with a lovely welcome message of `env: node: No such file or directory` but other than that, everything still works so I'm just going to back away slowly and not touch anything for now.
But I'm still feeling happy! And excited!
