What I did today:
- I worked on bugs, bugs, and bugs. Actually, I only worked on two bugs. But still, one of them was pretty tricky to figure out, but I finally got it. It came down to the PersonManager class not handling the case of new objects to be put in the cache until after, or something like that. I just used the same code as what was in a similar method, just adapted it to fit.
- I tried to convince Alan, my mentor, to allow me to take on an Engineering story all by myself, but because there were higher priorities of tasks that needed to be done, I ended up scrubbing bugs. But hopefully I’ll be able to take on that story next week…maybe. I’m gone from next Wednesday to Friday, so we’ll see.
Highlights:
- I talked to Alan Smoot today about my plans for fall and mentioned that Brian had suggested to me that I should talk to Alan about extending my internship. I talked to him about that, and he said that there is a possibility to have me take a “Student Engineer” position for the rest of the year! I was pretty excited about that. But he said it’s not final, but he’ll see what he can do.
