Day one was difficult, but not because of the material. We started our orientation meeting at 9am and didn’t finish our lecture until after 5pm. If this were in person, it would be cake, however, we are dealing with the beast that is Zoom and I found myself utterly exhausted.
Have you heard of Zoom Fatigue? It’s a real thing. Basically, our brains want to process non-verbal cues and that is difficult via video. There are several other stressors involved, but that is the primary cause in most articles.
I had a feeling this would be an issue for me. I talk to several friends on Zoom and Discord weekly and afterwards find myself wanting to take a long nap. Not possible here, but that’s okay. I will pump myself full of caffeine and carry on!
The first day was mostly introducing the tools we’d be working with. We practiced various commands in Bash. After we were comfortable with those, Brian, our instructor, went over how to use Git.
I must say, the Git Pro Git book made me think using Git would be harder than it actually is. After Brian walked us through it, the concepts were much easier to understand.
