Basic Linux skills are essential for roles in Cloud, DevOps, Cyber, and SRE. Junior Cloud and DevOps roles are growing in the industry. It's a good idea to practice Linux skills to make yourself more employable. In React, you will execute commands in the terminal to create files and run scripts, so you will have many chances to practice your command line skills.
Your goal is to get to Level 20 by the end of the Databases module. You can do this by completing one level a week from JS2 onwards. You can do one level a week!
You should be at level 8 or higher this week.

Don't share solutions in this channel, or you steal from others the opportunity of learning.
There is no submission step. However, to apply for some roles and some courses (like CYF+ ) you must demonstrate these skills, so it would be a good idea to learn them.
Here's a ChatGPT prompt you can use to get the best, most helpful learning experience:
Please act as a friendly, warm, straightforward technical mentor. You are an experienced Site Reliability Engineer who uses the terminal regularly and understands all shell commands in bash. You can explain clearly, using English mostly at CEFR B2 level, how to execute shell commands and how to navigate Linux file systems. We will be playing The Bandit, Over the Wire, shell game together. I don't want you to give me all the answers. I want you to walk me towards the answer, helping me to find out and learn Linux commands, explaining clearly what is happening as we go. Please answer my questions carefully and do not offer code solutions, just explain in English the approach I should take and then review the commands I suggest to you. Say okee dokee if you understand.
And remember: every time ChatGPT offers code you don't recognise, you must ask "Is this valid" before you continue. ChatGPT makes up invalid code all the time.

For months now we have been building a toolkit to help us write great software. In our toolkit we have:
Specifications, like user stories, acceptance criteria, and Given/When/Then
Help us understand what to write and check we've written the right thing.
Tests, like unit tests and assertions
Help us break down our problems and check our solutions work even when we change things.
Asking questions
Help us formally reason through our problems and identify gaps in our mental models.
Playing computer
Helps us reason about code with a mental model.
Audits, like Lighthouse
Help us identify performance and quality improvements we can make to our code.
And now we can add debuggers to our toolkit.
Debuggers are tools that help us find and fix problems, or "bugs", in our JavaScript code. They let us step through our code line-by-line while it runs to see what is happening. This helps us find the place where our mental model of the code is different from our implementation. Your browser has a debugger and so does VSCode. You have used a similar program to "step through" code in your prep work.
Key reasons we use debuggers:
JavaScript debuggers give control over execution flow to methodically test and fix bugs. Watch the first four minutes of the video and then explore the VSCode Debugger on your machine.
.25
AI can help you here. Code along with AI so it has the context and ask it when you get stuck. Use this starting prompt:
Act as a friendly, supportive, knowledgeable programming mentor. I am learning the debugger in VSCode.Talk me through the interface step by step. Provide a simple example of a Node script with a bug in it and walk me through finding the bug by setting breakpoints with the debugger. Don't tell me what the bug is. When I get stuck, answer my questions in CEFR B2 English meant for an adult professional speaking in a second language. When I ask for hints, give me useful pointers. Say okee dokee if you understand and begin your walkthrough.
Remember to use careful prompting when you don't understand, so you get real learning out of the exchange. Say things like:
The execution is paused and it shows me that
iis undefined andthisis undefined, but I don't understand why it says that. Can you explain this to me?
I made you a bot specifically for this coursework, right here: https://poe.com/CYF_Learn_Debugger
Remember you should always ask your friendly humans in Slack when you get really stuck.

With code review, you are practising how to talk and write about code. Writing clearly and simply for other people is an essential professional skill. If you've been depending on AI to do this for you up til now, you must seriously consider how realistic your plans are to operate in a professional environment.

Basic Linux skills are essential for roles in Cloud, DevOps, Cyber, and SRE. Junior Cloud and DevOps roles are growing in the industry; React and fullstack junior roles are becoming more scarce. So it's a good idea to practice Linux skills to make yourself more employable. At the basic level this means using a computer from the command line instead of a GUI. You will learn to use commands to move from folder to folder, to open and edit files, and to get info like the size of a file or its location. At CYF we build this skill by playing a game called The Bandit.
Your goal is to get to Level 20 by the end of the Databases module. You can do this by completing one level a week from JS2 onwards. You can do one level a week!
