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).

Wrote out 2 new project outlines: one to essentially build a wordpress-like CMS and one to build out a social network akin to the original MySpace. Planned out a new video showing the very most basic “full-stack” framework you could build while covering all essential concepts. Researched and bought the right mount to mount a new screen behind my wall-mounted camera. #pe Left the office early and took my partner out to some much needed Indian food and Poppyfields. Reading “How music works” (David Byrne)

finishing off Section 12 of the Web Developer Bootcamp - Bootstrap. It took my patchy understanding of Bootstrap and accelerated it in just 2 hours. #learning
