I have already been to his article on it...you didn't think something about accessibility would slip by me did you πŸ˜‰πŸ€£πŸ€£

Keep shouting for me to look at stuff, it always makes me smile and is super useful!

I learned that this is undefined behavior in C++:

struct Foo{};
int main() {
  Foo* p = nullptr;
  delete p; // okay
  delete p; // undefined behavior
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To make it well defined behavior:

struct Foo{};
int main() {
  Foo* p = nullptr;
  delete p; // okay
  p = nullptr;
  delete p; // okay
  // ... but hereafter p is once again read inaccessible.
}

Overcoming my nerves when pair programming with a senior developer. Don't have to do that too often. As I'm usually the person offering to pair.

Good session though. Had to automate a manual task of editing archived file content and re-archiving the files and then batch publishing via npm.

Not sure why I felt nervous. Maybe it was a brief moment of anxiety. Feeling as though I didn't know what to program. Even though I've written so many different programs in the past. And live coded many times before.

An hour later the scripts were finished. Just before the end of the working day.
