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.

Started writing a figma plugin for my emoji project. Next: setting up cloudflare workers to prepare an api endpoint. #figmoji

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

Started first steps of planning out next project, bookmark app idea #persoanl

📐 worked on an engine for building json-ld schema.org properties to many of my websites. #research

🤖 wrote a bunch of files-to-claude-xml profiles on some projects and started working on a few new features to make this easier

Next iteration of my to-do app going live!

🤖 Took a stab at rewriting parts of Claude Engineer to make file and project storage better. #research

Scrolling, understanding the new codebase for freelancing work. Asking lots of questions using GPT. Checking Vue dev tools. Cmd+clicking through to component files. Got familiar enough. Will dive deep into coding my first feature next week! #indiejourney #decodingcoding

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

Working on a Website to Markdown/JSON for LLM #shipit

Day 916 - Hard truths about my Carrd plugins project - golifelog.com/posts/hard-trut… #lifelog

Started work on a Go+Vuetify+Digital Ocean template, copied over the parts of my README for my Flask+Vuetify+Digital Ocean template that should also apply here. Feeling good about making forward progress towards making Go apps instead of staying stuck in tutorial hell.

Finally got Dokku working with my frontend. Documented my issues here: github.com/dokku/dokku/issues… Tomorrow: figure out what to do next. Maybe look at my Google Tasks, old Trello, etc.

Writing down some things for a new upcoming project #life

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).
