Leon's Last Dance

Made some progress with connecting our Flask API to our Vue app this week. I’m pretty pumped since I didn’t have the best experience in my web development course but was able to understand and debug farther than I expected myself to be able to do. Currently blocked, but I think a good part of…

This week has been humbling. I’ve been able to adapt well up until this week, but it has been one of those weeks where you stare between your project, documentation to implement something, and back to a different page of your project, and then back to a different section of the documentation, and barely any…
