Our midterm evaluations have come, and thankfully my mentor marked me as "on par". I have a few loose ends to tie up before making more progress, but all in all, things are going quite well.
I've made some big strides since start this endeavor. I started this project and the first time I looked at this code I was feeling nearly in over my head. I pounded away at things, partially out of panic, partially out of being stubborn and knowing that if I wanted to go anywhere in this field I should really get intimate with some production quality code.
I pounded away, and pounded away, getting pushed by wonderful people like Tomas Doran, Kieren Diment, Matt Trout, Jason Kuri, and many many others. I now feel I'm at a point where I'm a near expert with the C::Helper code, and will soon be able to analyze things and realize what optimizations and feature enhancements can be added on.
I've got a long road ahead yet, but being maintainer of this section of Catalyst is a badge I wear pretty proudly.
