progress

This past week I have continued working on my algorithm. I thought it would be much easier to improve upon the foundation I built for myself. But, I have learned so many things in the past couple of months in terms of coding it has been such a complicated process. I have so many tools that it has become hard to navigate. One of the main problems I am having now doesn’t even have to do with the processes I am writing, it is just having too many lines of code on the screen. Having to scroll up and down a page full of code visually disrupts my workflow. However, after a little bit of organization and reminding myself that I need to keep it simple, I am progressing well. While it is a little slower than I expected, progress is progress. Previously, my algorithm would only be able to make a pre-determined “full-day” program. There was very little “thinking” to my algorithm. Now it is able to write exercise programs of different types. Additionally, it is able to filter through my exercise database and choose the “best-suited” exercise for the client. It isn’t as refined as I’d like it to be, but that is okay. I’m going to continue building the next step, then refine it from there. Build, refine, build, refine. No skipping steps. Make it work, then make it better.
