My Family Solves a Code Challenge 🔨
This is a story about what happens when you give a software engineer, a mechanical engineer, and a toddler too much free time...
Hey there, welcome to my site! I'm Lucia Cerchie, a software engineer in the U.S.
Here's where the code for this website lives! I chose to use HTML + CSS only because this was a single-page-app, and the most complex functionality I needed was links. You can check out my resources in the README.
I wrote this tutorial to helps others learn to use the git cherry-pick command. Sometimes, when it comes to using git commands, learning by doing is best. But you don't want to just play around with one of your treasured projects and mess up your commit history. Enter my tutorial! Clone it down and play with git cherry-pick.

I'd been counting the number of days from an appointment on my calendar. "0, 1, 2, 3..." I muttered under my breath. Good thing I said it out loud, or I wouldn't have caught my mistake. That's what spending hours on array-based JavaScript challenges does for you! But why does JS index from zero in the first place? Join me while I learn some computer science.
Building something in a different language gives you a bird's eye perspective that you really can't get any other way. Here's what I learned about REST APIs from doing exactly that.
On this stream, I joined The Practical DEV to talk GraphQL, providing an intro to using the GraphQL editor, creating a query, and more!
I hopped on this stream with Ben Myers to give the old version of my old portfolio site an accessibility scrub-down!
I gave a lightning talk for Cincinnati Software Craftmanship, dissecting the anatomy of a GraphQL query.
