Handling rejection, rake tasks and hackerrank

Got the news that I was rejected for Build@Mercari.

Kind of a bummer, but I expected it as I did poorly for the Hackerrank test. I haven’t been exposed to enough types of problems (and solutions/approaches), and need to continue working on it.

What I did today:

  • Made a 100 days section for my website. I’ll use this as a journal of sorts.
  • Hackerrank: Plus-Minus; Mini-Max Sum
  • Site reorganisation: added 100daysofcode directory + its own _posts directory; moved _posts out of the root directory to its own directory (posts/_posts).
  • Wrote rake task to create new post in 100daysofcode
  • Useful link of the day: Pulling from specific subfolders using {% for post in site.posts %}
