Simple Solutions

All though there were multiple problems I solved today. I would like to say my initial problem was much simpler thant I expected.

Being new to this system but also web development in general has made me cautious with my estimations.

As well I should be cautious, my name and my team are relying on me fulfilling my word. And I need to add in how long it takes to learn this new part of the code I haven’t seen before.

It just so happens this story was to remove a button from a location. I was unsure where this was, or what functionality this was connected to.

When I finally found it it was a quick and simple fix.

Of course I had to change the tests a little bit but I literally just had to remove the button.

The once thing is I did want to leave a little extra padding to the end so I did

 [:li.margin-left-0.padding-right-plus-5
                (new-story-bar-button plan-view?)]
 [:li.margin-left-0.padding-right-plus-2]

Ta da!

Long story short, write good code so people later can make changes easily!

Best,
