"Enhancing API Performance and Quality Amidst Unexpected Challenges"

Mar 15, 2024 - 10:44pmSummary: I had a really nice day focused on improving and optimizing our API, dealing with various issues along the way. I managed to create and deploy Docker images, enhancing the overall performance and deployability of our system, which I'm quite excited and satisfied with. Despite it taking more time than anticipated and pushing back other projects, I'm optimistic about continuing this work. Additionally, I spent quality time with friends, preparing and enjoying meals together, which was a warming end to the day. Although feeling slightly under the weather, I'm hopeful for tomorrow and plan an early start for a highlining adventure, pending how I feel in the morning.

Transcript: Really nice day. Immediately got to work, ran into a bunch of issues, trying to clean up the API and just make it really, really good and fast and deployable, but got it down, got Docker images up. Live Docker images available. Yeah, I mean, it's there. I think it's all there. The performance is better. It's exciting. I'm excited. I think it's good. And, yeah, I think maybe just getting the things honed down, honed in. But I think everything's there. Everything works. So I'm pretty happy about all of that at the end of the day. So I'm excited. I'm excited to go out and be in nature for the next couple days and come back and kind of see what the next plan is. I mean, it took more time than I expected. You know, I was really hoping to move on to Whisper and all of these kind of things as well. But, yeah, I'm pretty stoked generally about what was done. So. Yeah, just going to continue to move forward. Probably, you know, I'd like to keep pushing on this thread a bit more. But I also want to think about Darren's application and how that can fit into everything else that I'm doing, specifically with Burrito as well as giving Kim a Burrito. Yeah. And for lunch, I had leftover pasta. For dinner, I made Indian food. For Kim and Jordan, I made chana masala and also aloo gobi. And we all had dinner together and hung out for a couple hours. And that was really nice. For breakfast, I had a couple parantas. And, yeah, now I really want to go to bed. I am feeling like I might be sick. But right now I'm feeling pretty good. So I guess we'll see when I get up tomorrow how I'm feeling and make a decision on highlining then. But. But the plan right now is to wake up probably around 5:30 and try to get out the door.

Today was genuinely good. I enjoyed a brief outing, had a catching-up call with Katie, and worked on getting an app ready for Darren, which I'm hopeful he'll find useful. It's sparked a desire in me to develop a more robust infrastructure, something I see as entirely feasible. Planning for tomorrow, I want to integrate a design from Jordan into my work and, if possible, continue enhancing the app for Darren, focusing on stronger infrastructure and deploying it to a stable, cost-effective, or free hosting service, potentially something like serverless Postgres. Dinner was light, just almonds and some couscous, not quite a meal. After a productive day, I'm feeling pretty exhausted and foresee just watching a YouTube video before bed. I'm looking forward to driving up for coffee tomorrow morning, though I need to check my car's charge for the trip to Encinitas and also plan to do some grocery shopping. I aim to start the day early, enjoy an espresso, buy some beans, perhaps a pastry, and then see where the day takes me. I'm debating between taking my laptop and opting to journal instead, leaning towards the latter to give myself a chance to reflect and process my thoughts. So, that's the roundup of today and the look-ahead for tomorrow.

A Productive Day

Today was quite eventful for me. It started off with a peaceful morning where I enjoyed coffee and eggs; I love waking up naturally. My work focused on making various installations easier to manage in a private version of Burrito, aiming for smoother access and queries - a slow but steady process. Apart from work, I engaged in several conversations and calls throughout the day. My first discussion was with Nick, pondering over the potential of starting a company related to a hotel concept we thought of. It's an idea I need to dwell on more tonight. Lunch was home-cooked ramen, a comforting choice. Catching up with John over a call was refreshing; we discussed meeting in person soon. Then there was the OKPC call, where financial updates were a key topic. My day ended on a high note with an excellent climbing session with Patrick. It's been a productive and fulfilling day.
