Spent an hour reading some of [the backend code][1] for a Go / Vue chat app I saw posted to Reddit, as a way of trying to build familiarity with how my Go / Vue projects should be structured / work. [1]: github.com/wizzldev/backend/

Kept going on the code to send Gmail emails from my Go backend, this is a good way to get comfortable with Go...successfully ran the `quickstart.go` file example from developers.google.com/gmail/a… more time reading advice on Reddit about how to apply for jobs.

Started going through the "Let's Go" ebook, started my first Go web app.

today was my first day actually doing Go development instead of just tutorials: took a magnesium tablet b/c I felt anxious last night, I think from the caffeine in the cocoa I had been drinking; copied my frontend code from my flask/vuetify template repo to my go/vuetify template repo; confirmed I can serve the frontend code locally; installed Go; drank an iced cocoa; successfully started my 'Hello World' main.go backend file as a web app server; asked ChatGPT for help converting my "POST /users/" request to use Go; created a Go module; installed Postman macOS; took a 15min break after an hour; got my frontend app "talking to" my Go backend (successfully returned "Hello World" and had it on-screen in my frontend app); added Go middleware to log every request to the console so I can see what is happening; renamed my (default) branch from 'master' to 'main'; got live reloading for my Go backend (it automatically reloads the backend when I make changes to the code); confirmed my "POST /users/" returns 201 when I use the frontend registration form; came up with a task for tomorrow: get "POST /api/session" working; set up PyCharm to be able to explore my SQLite db from within the DB toolbar; confirmed that my user registration created a new user record in the db

Experiment with using Golang

Spent some time learning NextJS and Express

Started work on a Go+Vuetify+Digital Ocean template, copied over the parts of my README for my Flask+Vuetify+Digital Ocean template that should also apply here. Feeling good about making forward progress towards making Go apps instead of staying stuck in tutorial hell.

Spent time researching whether to switch the app to use Nuxt.js for server-side rendering / static site generation. #rhymecraft

got my personal website (nathanwailes.com/, just an index.html) working on a new $4/mo DO droplet that I intend to move everything over to while switching backends from Python to Go, nginx is way easier than Apache so far. Switched my personal site to use GitHub version control.

search for best practices in golang web development

Started looking into why my existing frontend code in my whatdo repo isn't working with my Go backend code when I try to log in, I think I need to update the URLs that the frontend is making requests to and maybe also change the request data format.

Read Julia's notes on web dev in Go x.com/revcd/status/1841412092… #life

Spent an hour going over my app ideas to try to decide on what to work on next, settled on trying to build a Line+ChatGPT bot that will run on my Dokku droplet.

Spent more time learning about mod_wsgi

Started looking into how to debug Go code: blog.jetbrains.com/go/2019/02… #govuetifytemplate

Spent more time trying to figure out how to connect to the DigitalOcean DB from PyCharm. #rhymecraft

Only got ~5hrs of sleep after two double espressos yesterday, so I took a Lycopene capsule...signed up for a LinkedIn Premium free trial so I could send a message to a Kasikorn backend engineer to ask why users can't export their transaction history in CSV format...removed the 'Blog' link on nw.com b/c I don't have the WordPress blog up and I never really used the blog that much, added a link to my email address instead so people can contact me...started going through the Kasikorn API "Slip Verification" challenges...got the first one done...the second one requires I have SSL set up on my domain and not through Cloudflare...discovered while doing that that my whatdo site is returning a 404 if I try to sign in...got GoLand's db tool connecting to the digital ocean postgres db b/c I noticed that wasn't set up yet...install postgres on my macbook b/c something got messed up and somehow it seemed to not be installed...got all the db problems fixed, don't know how that happened...now having a CORS issue when running locally, all this stuff was working, IDK how it all broke...ok I remember now, I YOLO'd the backend code and disabled the existing router to get the Line echo bot working...sent an email to another local YouTuber to ask if I can be in a video with him...installed cursor and tried using it for a simple refactor task to get a sense of how it works...figured out a way (thanks to ChatGPT) to get the Line callback handler working while also not breaking the existing routes...went for a massage to give my brain cells some time to recover...used cursor some more and I get the hype, this is really cool, I'm surprised Jetbrains hasn't copied it yet...after a long while I finally got my whatdo backend working properly again (auth + user middleware working), it was a good learning experience with cursor and Go...got a GitHub Action set up so my DO dokku VPS will update when I push to main, so now both frontend and backend will update automatically when I push to GitHub...ending the day on this banger set: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2340… Tomorrow: I need to bill hours to my client to make $, I want to try to finish the KBank API challenge to see if I can do the Slip Verification, I want to email another YouTuber, if I have any time left over I want to keep going with that Line/ChatGPT bot and try to make a frontend interface for it.

finish learning golang, off to programming
