learning about just files and standardizing some projects to making handling them off easier #mylife

write blog post side projects

Went through my Google Tasks notes-to-myself of stuff it would be cool to make, turned my favorites into Jira projects, and removed them from Google Tasks. Next: pick one and try to come up with a summary of how an MVP could work. Removed links from WhatDo homepage for projects that don't exist (yet). Feeling super happy I set up Netlify / Dokku now that I can just push and have my changes immediately live. Spent time drafting an email to ask a YouTuber if I can do a video with him, I'm on the fence about whether I should do it.

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.

Last week, I finished connecting the 3rd-party LMS to our internal LMS for the bridge-time while I build out the dream version. I'm actually really enjoying not being tied to daily workshops that fit into week sprints. This opens up a lot of interesting opportunities. #pe New videos about screenshot tools, writing a blog and why/where/how, and collaborative white-boarding tools for documentation

added a few dozen features to #djangotv using some Claude 3.5 automations I wrote #research
