• Installed anaconda
• Installed jupyter (pip3 install jupyter)
• Installed wordhoard (pip3 install wordhoard)
• Installed neo4j library and neo4j Desktop client
• There’s something wrong with my python setup that I need to debug at some point (essentially running python3 isn’t working, don’t remember the error message rn)
• Worked in a jupyter notebook for a bit to build out the basic logic for the thesaurle game. We found that wordhoard seemed to have pretty good results for synonyms but was slow and kinda buggy. Ended up using an API from API Ninjas that hits the thesaurus API but the results were pretty whack. More opportunity for improvement!

Went to the pairing jam demos and learned about some cool shit:

• Charm.sh for “making the command line glamourous”
• asciinema for recording the terminal
• prezento - command line presentations, built by RCers!
• creack/pty - PTY interface for go (also as a reminder, PTY is the acronym for PseudoTeletYpe for emulating a virtual TeleTYpe (TTY))
