The madness of peak is over, we are figuring out our plans for development for the year.
|

May partially loose one team member for a few months for personal reasons,
|

so figuring out what we can accomplish and how we will allocate work with the reduced headcount.

Still keeping my eyes open for other opportunities.

<h2>Learning</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I am working to learn japanese and portuguese on Duolingo.
|
|
I love the program and it is 100% worth paying for, but the fact that even when paying it keeps asking for ratings, putting widgets on my home screen, or turning on notifications bothers me.
|
|
You already have my money now please don't bother me.
|
|
Finding the lessons really helpful.
|
|
Coupling it with Anki flashcards for memory is working well.
|
|

Starting to learn <a href="go.dev">Go</a>.

|
A very simple and concise language.
|
|
Both similar in ways to Rust (focus on performance, strong type system), and completely different (still a runtime, much simpler).
|
|
Enjoying it so far, still very early days.

Joined the <a href="https://leanwebclub.com">Lean Web Club</a> course for web development.

Have been muddling my way through on my own up to this point trying to just use HTML and CSS with most of the actual logic in the backend where I am more comfortable.
|
|
Figured it was time to learn all the stuff that browsers are capable of and how to make the best use of them.
|
|
They have come a long way and there is so much that you can do with just plain JS and no external dependencies.

Shifting my attention back to adding content to my personal website.

I have been having a bit of an ongoing moral crisis with the state of the tech industry at the moment.
|
|
First I want to get my <a href="/technology">thoughts</a> clarified and down in writing.
|
|
Then I want to see what I can do about it and how I can contribute to a user centric web.
