livecode and blog fixing a paywall issue #codewithswiz

spent an hour implementing CRUD functionality on the yelpcamp example in WDB2024 from my notes and memory - and got *most* of it right! #learning

Tweet about trying out a paid version of #whatsnew

Spent the day trying to fix a bug that a paying customer faced for Mobile Navbar Pro plugin (mobilenavbarpro.carrd.co), but no solution cos it's conflicting with some hidden scripts native to Carrd itself. First time having such a tough problem with Carrd, no avail even after all day debugging with ChatGPT4. Will try again tmr! #pluginsforcarrd

🤖 got sweep running on my Mac Studio and spent $0.73 letting it write five pull requests to try it out. Not bad.

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.

checkout and payment user testing #tindi

Only got ~6hrs of sleep, so try taking 120mg of lycopene...emailed back the WorkTime rep b/c their software isn't tracking any activity, it's crazy for it to be so broken in such a basic way...ask on Upwork forums if identity verification ever needs to happen again...created a Jira board for managing studying system design...started a pastebin system for rehearsing basic system design patterns daily b/c that's been working well for studying DSAs...feeling anxiety today, presumably from all the caffeine yesterday, so I'm going to take some Caffeine+ capsules to see if the extra vitamins in it makes the anxiety go away...run the Algolia HN API request that I found in the hnjobs repo in Postman as a first step towards grabbing those jobs myself...spent 30 minutes feeling anxious about what the next step should be, thinking I should set up the backend pulling jobs, before changing my mind and deciding I want to be able to use a frontend UI to connect my email address and then press a button to have the backend send an Gmail email for me...

Test WIP and Todoist integration

Write a test #accountcrowd

test entire flow as anon user with own Trello or get someone else to test #zaptrellotowip

yesterday I declared a pause of #studiolist and today I coded for hours (HTML, CSS, PHP) to launch a simple version of Studio List. Intentionally, I left out graphical design elements because when I worked on them in the past I never actually shipped something. So, I’m staring with a plain-text version I like how fast it loads and pure it looks. — and the launch date today is also when I reached the 100 % streak here at WIP *yippie :)

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)

day jobbed and finished off some AWS testing and copy code #revsys

Talked a.friwnd and colleague for a website and played around with a new WordPress 🙈 stack = about 60 % done #jodaworks

livecode progress on my little CMS #codewithswiz

write failing tests polling #homestretch my god

🤖 letting Sweep do about $10 worth of updates to see if it's worth while running self-hosted. It has a ton of potential but has been more broken than working today.

built validation tool for paid members #newco

worked out some odd AWS S3 pagination and testing code today #mylife
