Totally!

Just changed the blog theme - it now works perfectly with JS disabled - serious, huge thanks for telling me this, I wasn't aware of that issue.

Crazy stuff! :D I'm wondering how our future-self would feel about such cleverness haha

I really liked this: "#{String.to_integer(hours) + 12}" Used it now refactoring the code, many thanks for your suggestion!

Yeah, that's the point: "i bet I could find a function in the standard library that could help me solve this problem"

Awesome! Many thanks for the tip. I'll refactor the code :)

In HR you can see other solutions as well

Yes, great option. One thing I like to have to write tests is actually practicing writing tests :)

Thanks for your comment. I'll fix this.

Many thanks for your comment. You are totally right. This is a theme from the Hexo platform I use. I'll probably create a theme to address this and other issues.

Very interesting. The big point should be: do some practical stuff to keep you motivated while you are learning!

I actually started the same way. In the article I focused more on step 4, but in step 2: "Familiarize with the syntax and semantic of the language" I watched a video course and bui…

The approach is actually learn enough about the language (through docs or a book) and practice such knowledge solving code challenges and writing your on tests first to get exposed…

I agree with you. But I believe that solving this kind of challenges forces one in a good way to know more about what the language has to offer, while keeping motivated to learn it…
