Ordered a FocusCap visor model b/c people walking by when I'm working in public is the most distracting thing for me right now: focuscap.io/products/focuscap ; bought a $7 baseball cap to use while I wait, I keep it pulled down low over my eyes and it's probably 90% as good. Verified that for local development my Go backend seems to be able to talk to my Vue frontend with the new way of having the API at a different domain instead of at /api/. Added the new env variable that stores the domain of the API to my Netlify setup and tried using the app, and got an "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED", realized I hadn't set up a Cloudflare A record for the 'api' subdomain to point to my Digital Ocean / Dokku droplet. After ~20 mins that error went away and it switched to a CORS error. Added my domain to my backend code as an allowed origin for CORS purposes.

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.

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...

Spent hours trying to fix domain issues with Vodien which randomly took down my uvindex.sg domain. Domain now all fixed but waiting for DNS records to propagate... #uvindexsg #socialimpactpatronage

Tried various ways to improve lighthouse score (60!) like add async/defer, preload font, self host fonts, use diff cdn etc but somehow all didn't work. Only thing that worked slightly was adding async to vue-touch to reduce chain critical requests 🫠 #psisg #socialimpactpatronage

Tried to work out why a Carrd plugin pushed down an element instead of overlaying over it, for 1-2h. Couldn't figure out even after tweaking and testing all the CSS, comparing line by line. In the end, ChatGPT saves the day! (Great for issues like these which are hard to google for) 😯 CSS is a mystery sometimes. Or I'm just bad at it (in the end it was just position: relative vs fixed 😩). #pluginsforcarrd
