"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." – Shigeru Miyamoto

meals:

  • breakfast: oats
  • lunch: banana + tacodeli (chicken mushroom taco + chips)
  • dinner: kbop bulgogi beef

notes:

  • toured spaces, firmspace and industrious
    • spaces charged for coffee and was claustrophobic, biggest gym
    • firmspace is very corporate and uptight, 40% lawyers,
    • industrious
  • reviewed my first PR today
  • learned what django models + apps and makemigrations and migrate
  • always use dbeaver first
  • CHECK staging and PROD HOSTs
  • grateful for friends and living close to them.
  • excited about getting this project out for demo

reflection:

  • its hard to dive into a new framework and codebase, its super helpful to have R guide me through it
  • i've been getting home and going in a cycle of shopping while working till past midnight. on one hand i'm obsessed with buiding this because i enjoy learning and working on something meaningful, but i can't stop
  • i should pay more attention to taking breaks
  • i need to be GRATEFUL for having the opportunity to join an AMAZING startup with COOL and EXCITING work to do every day. and living in a nice apartment and having the chance to design and decorate it. STOP the mindset of "i have to" and switch it to "i get to".

tomorrow: getting query to work + continue to design my apartment

slept: 1:35 a.m.
