"Commitments", not "git commits". For revenue teams, this could be signing a contract, scheduling a certain number of meetings, drafting a blog post, etc. Similar parallels for any team within a company. The key is being able to break larger projects into manageable weekly commitments that are specific and measurable.

I'll be sure to go back through and clean up my code, the site should however be displaying 0 if yesterday at this same time it was also, 73 degrees F, does this seem correct?

Of course, up until now my experience has been something along the lines of... first I completed Chris Pines learn to program and all of the exercises on Codeacademy. Next, I read the book, Beginning Ruby from Novice to Professional and completed some other online exercises such as the Ruby Monk problems. Most of the preparation I was doing at the time was to get ready for my interview to App Academy so, I also completed their prepwork which consisted of some TDD problems and an event planner from Jumpstart Labs.
Unfortunately I didn't do so great in the interview for App Academy and was rejected, which was last week, however following my interview I decided I would just set my mind to actually trying to build something to begin the process of teaching myself!
Hope this helps

I'll check into that background issue, I think the locations are off for some people because it's just checking their IP? I was hoping to include the option for people the just manually search locations in the next iteration. Thanks for the feedback though!

Ask HN: What do you think about my first coding project?
I've been teaching myself to code over the last couple of months and finally, this past weekend, decided to put my mind to actually trying to build something! So this is my first little project, Clearli a quick and simple weather app.Please let me know what you think!http://clearli.herokuapp.com/

I'll look into that for sure, like I said I'm still in the infancy of learning to program, thanks for the heads up!

Show HN: My 1st project - Clearli Weather
Over the last couple of months I've been teaching myself Ruby and finally decided this week that I was going to put my mind to something and try to ship some sort of a product. Like I said this is the first thing I've ever built so I'm sure it's full of errors problems but I just wanted to put it out there!Cheers

Wouldn't that be a good place to start learning then? Without a community of people now to push me and work through problems with me, wouldn't a school of sorts be the perfect place to get those things?

I suppose there's nothing really stopping me other than thinking the project might just be too big to even attempt right now.
I've been working through a few books as well as the standard online exercises and am now looking at a program like dev bootcamp or app academy to really accelerate the leraning process

I'm currently finishing my last year in university and will be graduating next month with an economics major. It was only recently after thinking up a project that I thought would be awesome to build, did I even begin to get interested in coding but I can safely say I've found something that I truly enjoy and want to invest my time into learning.
My major sources of motivation are the hopes of making myself more marketable in terms of getting a job after university and the motivation of having a project that I want to see built
