Today started off on a high note! We had an engaging interactive session during our daily standup where everyone shared their thoughts on a candidate we’re currently interviewing. It was a productive exchange, and it felt great to hear everyone’s perspectives.

The rest of the day, however, was one of those classic “working hard but with little to show for it” situations. The implementation I’m working on is proving to be more challenging than I initially thought.

To give a simplified version: I’m working on a component that needs to be cloned into n copies, with each clone placed in a separate container. But then it gets trickier — each component is draggable, and if I drag one of them, all the other clones (including the original) need to move as well, maintaining relative positions within their respective containers.

The real challenge is; there are already a plethora of features built around this component. And I need to implement this new functionality without breaking anything else.

But, it’s just a matter of time, I’ll figure it out.

Also, it’s my Dad’s birthday. Happy Birthday Dad! 🎉
