👩🏻‍💻📓✍🏻💡 Week 3 learnings

Last week was hectic, especially the weekend, as I was juggling one of my freelance projects alongside the Sanity AI Challenge.

🧠 Design and Analysis of Algorithms Revision

Just a few weeks ago, I started learning one of the core subjects in computer science, Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

After a few days, life happened, and I had to prioritize other stuffs. Still, last week, I decided to take the initiative to brush up on the concepts I had previously studied and learn a few new ones.

I revised different types of algorithm analysis and some of the concepts I had covered initially. After that, I started learning new sorting algorithms, including Heapsort and Quicksort.

🤖 AI Terminology

Like most people in tech, I also pretend to fully understand AI terminology like MCP, RAG, Transformers, temperature, context windows, and so on.

But, as you might have guessed, I didn't actually understand all of them as well as I thought I did. 😅

So last week, I went back to the basics and brushed up on some of these concepts.

I also started learning MCP (Model Context Protocol) in more detail. I am still exploring it, but I now have a much better understanding of what it is, why it exists, and how it differs from concepts like RAG.

🏆 Sanity AI Challenge

I signed up for and participated in the Sanity AI Challenge, where I built MoneyVerse, a financial literacy game for kids.

You can read the full write-up about the project here.

One mistake I realized I might have made was related to how I structured the Sanity Studio. Some of the documentation seemed to suggest that the Studio shouldn't be embedded directly into the app when using a framework.

Unfortunately, I realized this just a few minutes before the deadline 😭.

I also planned to build another project called Budget-Bites for Path 1 of the Sanity AI Challenge. The idea was to create an app that would help students achieve their health goals while staying within a budget.

Unfortunately, I couldn't complete it before the deadline. I did, however, start working on it and have kept the incomplete version of the project on GitHub.
