[Discussion] Time Tracking App

Aadesh Shrestha — Fri, 05 Jan 2018 13:29:30 +0000

Hi everyone

Recently I have been involved in more than 2 projects and I am having difficult time in tracking time spent on the projects. I tried Tsheets.com but it seems that it is only possible to track one time (not on basis of projects). I would also like to use similar apps in my team. I am looking for your suggestions and your review of the apps you are using for project based time tracking app.

How do you approach when you are learning new language ?

I usually go through the basic examples in the beginning and go through the language's documentation to see what the methods are doing.

How do you approach when you are learning the new language?
How effective have they been for you ?

Beginning Vim

For a long time, I had been "thinking" of learning vim. The first thing I tried was 'vimtutor' which was quite easy to get started with but at the same time, I could not grasp all the things taught in it. The very mistake I made in going through vimtutor was trying to learn all the commands at the same time. And also it was due to my keyboard layout (colemak). The k, l, h, j keys are quite not in vim "order"

After completing the vimtutor I tried using vim but with no success. I kept getting stuck at small tasks like copy and paste, changing modes. After using for some "hours" I got this feeling of being less productive. So I eventually gave up the idea of "learning" vim.

Few months later I again had this hunger for learning vim. To make sure that I don't give up like the last time, I asked couple of my friends( Swojeet and Rabin ) to try and learn vim together. We printed the vim cheatsheet and also learned few vim configurations. Now after 2 months of using vim with the minimum configuration as possible, I can confidently say that I'm quite comfortable with VIM. I'm still a long way to be able to do things like pro but I understand that it'll take time.

If you are also trying to learn vim and are stuck in exit, you should get a friend with whom you can learn it.

Looking forward for suggestions.
