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

practiced writing out the basic leetcode algorithms and went through a section of the Let's Go ebook

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 learning about using Go for a web app back-end to see if it would be better than using Python.

Read a bit of "Let's Go" ebook

Started using Gowod app (awesome!) #life

make a go app and put it online

first golang project done #bw

get started on #doneapp

Start designing the #coffeeclub web app

still playing with Go #life

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

First module of Go course

Created a very first GPT app. #sidecar

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/

learn + deploy first real-world small go app (learning from scratch ➡️ prod deploy in 3 days 💪) #alertyo

make my first live coding + go through the first 2 lessons of cryptozombies.io

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.

bought an HTML and a CSS book to accelerate my learning as I build my first web app #mindbody

Go: Bought "Let's Go Further" b/c it has a section on authentication for API backends; read that section; notice he has the code in his project set up differently than mine; rearrange my project directory structure to match the book's recommendation; spent some time looking at how he does authentication in the book; decided that I should maybe instead try to follow the Huma guide to doing OAuth 2.0: huma.rocks/how-to/oauth2-jwt/
