As the second week of my internship has come to an end I have learned even more. The first week I mainly focused on learning django and getting comfortable with the sites code. This second week however, I began actually writing my own code. The most challenging part of this week was definitely the first bit of code I wrote on my own. It was a struggle to figure out exactly what I needed to do and how to accomplish it. However after each bit of code I wrote it got easier and easier. I think a part of the reason I was able to get up to speed with the code so quickly was because of my supervisors management style. If I have a question, I can just ask and he'll get back to me very quickly. He listens to my ideas and will tell me what I'm doing wrong or could be doing better. He allows me a lot of freedom to be able to write code for the site all on my own. After a week of working on the code for the site and becoming very comfortable with it I've realized something. There is no "perfect" code. Before this internship I always felt discouraged coding by myself because I thought my code wasn't professional and was structured poorly. Now I realize that no code is perfect and that instead of fussing over every line of code its better to just get something good that works.
