spec out the rest of the website launch project and realise I have an insane amount left to do #deutschgym
worked on job website over lunch. overall, it's getting closer
Realize I like my 24 hour prototype so much that I decided to closed-source the repo, considering making it a quick little SaaS #lillointeractive
started a new dayjob side project and got about 50% feature complete #mylife
🔨 hammered out an interesting project for building/hosting super quick and easy to update websites. felt cute. might keep it.

Worked on a first draft of a 1-page "how to hire and manage remote workers" PDF that I want to start sending along with my resume and possibly also use as a marketing thing for my Wailes & Company remote work management consultancy idea...drank a double espresso ~4-5hrs before my expected bedtime, I hope I don't regret this...emailed another YouTuber but w/ a slightly different email approach...continuing to learn how to use Cursor, resolved a deploy.yml error by signing into GitHub after some Googling to understand what was going on...spent a while breaking up my backend code into sub-app directories as a way of setting the stage to work on multiple app ideas at the same time, and also to continue to build familiarity with Go since I'm still very new to it...spending the time after the caffeine high has kind of worn off (3hrs post-double-espresso) just thinking about what I should work on next...decide on some next small steps for tomorrow: 1) be able to query the Algolia HN API and get back the list of HN jobs, 2) set up a new db schema for the jobs app, 3) figure out how to best use ChatGPT to analyze the different job posts (individual queries vs. some kind of batch request).
Got my personal website (nathanwailes.com) being served by Netlify after destroying the Digital Ocean droplet that was hosting it (just an index.html file)...got the welcome YouTube video working again, I guess YouTube requires some new iframe attrs now before it'll allow it to be played...bought a new domain (wailesgroup.com) for $10 and set it up on Netlify with a copy of my nw.com domain, I'm thinking of trying to start doing cold-emailing to get work as an agency / remote-worker management consultancy b/c I think the current agency I'm working for is billing my time at a way higher rate than I'm getting paid...spent a few minutes thinking about and adding Jira tickets for what I should work on next for that project (not today)...spent some time studying the [hnjobs GitHub repo][1] to see how it worked, to use it as a stepping stone towards automating applying to HN jobs...spent some more time thinking about trying to do interviews with YouTubers, I'm now thinking it may not be so useful, as I don't have a product I'm trying to sell right now, it's unlikely to have any lasting impact, and it would probably be a one-time thing...

#contracting idk what to write here. build all parts of my new portfolio website over the course of a work day I guess
💭 thinking about yet another job website because everything annoys me #mylife
👩💻 work on my first idea
work on little side project stuff #life
take on more freelance work from the agency, get assigned way too much and over-commit, realize this too late, cry — but get started anyway. 21 Ahref's site audits and fix everything plus 2 website builds and 6 articles in 3 days? TOTALLY doable 😅 (We're not even going to discuss the work I have for other clients lol) #freelance
rough idea for side project detailed out
✏ catching up on day job tonight and then doing some side project work #mylife
Starting work on a new project idea - focusing on projects I can build in a week
Talked a.friwnd and colleague for a website and played around with a new WordPress 🙈 stack = about 60 % done #jodaworks
finished day job for the week with some new ideas #revsys
got auth working for PageExperiment.com (super easy A/B testing). But now thinking I'm repeating the same mistake as I always do which is building something too complicated, maybe I should start with something easier to gain some momentum? 🤔 #ship30
