This week, as a mentor, I did attendance and classly announcements as usual. In addition, I helped a particular student that struggled with the mid-semester summary and needed some pointers on what to change. Specifically they weren’t in a coding position but rather had a physical project that they were assigned and wanted to know how to get more commits in, and I said to take more pictures of their work and commit pictures individually to help them get to the 25 commit expectancy for the final summary.

As a student, I worked on clearing the cache for Redis in shubble, which needed to happen in two seperate locations and had to be placed in a way where the clear happened on startup and not in the loop, otherwise it would significantly slow down normal operation. I believe I finished this task and set up a pull request for the work so that it can get properly reviewed, but not before making sure that I provided plenty of information about my additions and how to review it in the pull request. I also worked on EzASM and finished up the tests to uncover another potential issue with the code, but more importantly convince myself that it’s solved for the most part, although I made an issue for the problem I discovered so it won’t be forgotten if it turns out to be a big deal.
