Aaand now I'm learning Webflow too. Freelance gigs are fun! (I mean it, I enjoy learning new, different things) #indiejourney #decodingcoding
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.
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.

Coding & project work 👨💻
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
