Progress: Met with my matched mentor, who validated the new project direction, confirmed alignment with production best practices, and provided a strong confidence boost. Further refined the build strategy to focus strictly on a single-brewery scope for the pipeline. The goal being to perfect the research, cross-referencing, and evaluations for one entry before scaling out to parallel multi-brewery agents.
Struggle: Still feeling stuck in the planning phase without active code progress, largely due to external life obligations competing for time. Battling imposter syndrome regarding how the project compares to others when considering showcase opportunities.
Plan: Leverage Copilot CLI to rapidly build out the deterministic data pipeline for the single-brewery test case. Finalize the Week 3 demo, pull together a presentation, and have a fully functional demo ready to share with the mentor by the end of next week.
