Tuesday Edition: Daily Stand Up!

Slow, if not fun, start to the month... who out there is side hustlin' in April?

Why?

That extra nudge of accountability to achieve even a small step on your IH journey each day.

To join in:

01 Share your epic (a big chunk of work with a meaty objective) you'd like to complete by the end of April.

02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

04 Comment on at least one fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in.

Optional:

05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.

Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!

    Got a new puppy...and my time has been consumed with that...but was able to get prod keys into production and have the app deployed and live.

    TODAY

    Smooth out any issues I may see with prod instance(s), and add prod exception tracking, etc.
