about me

I'm not a trained developer. I am a N00b with a keyboard and an itch to scratch.

motivation

Everyone else is building a pizza ordering app, so why don't I?

And, I was just telling a .jr dev that he should remember the business owner of the pizza joint: reporting on income, pizzas made, etc. Not just the pretty front end. Now I'm knee deep in the problem without much of a plan!

requirements

Patience and the ability to pull back and look at the bigger picture.

install

I set up a venv for VS Code

pip install -r requirements.txt

Don't rush, think through the problems!

I built the order schema before I built the endpoint and I was surprised when I discovered that there was no endpoint!

problems:

db creation
endpoints talking to database
database duplicate entries
permissions for viewing what parts of the systems! (complex logic there)

users should be able to

create a user
create a pizza order

manager should be able to

create a new pizza offer
how many pizzas were ordered

owner should be able to see

how much money was made from orders

trying to use GPT4 and copilot to build this app is not easy

GPT4 output is limited
copilot code awareness is limited e.g. I can't tell copilot to look at the my whole code base. Hell, it's only aware of the file I've selected!
