nerve-wracking day juggling three clients, trying to keep them all happy when they all want stuff done ASAP
Figured out a new approach to studying Leetcode where every morning and evening I write out the code for the basic component-algorithms of Leetcode solutions as quickly as possible: breadth-first search, depth-first search, binary search, sliding window, etc.
Got a Flask/Vue app running on PythonAnywhere for a new client b/c trying to get it working on Digital Ocean had me dealing with a mod_wsgi error that could take who-knows-how-long to fix
Started going through the "Let's Go" ebook, started my first Go web app.
trying to decide whether to gtfo of Argentina b/c of the dengue outbreak, it seems like it's COVID in that it's going to be an issue almost every year, it's not killing a lot of people, and it's mostly dangerous for people with weakened immune systems, so I should be OK
Studying system design, I actually like this way, way more than studying leetcode
Spent time watching and summarizing system design and engineering resume interviews
Spent time learning about using Go for a web app back-end to see if it would be better than using Python.
Figured out how to use Mercado Libre to order stuff online in Argentina
