<h2>Work</h2>
<p>
The project that I am focussed on we took too big of a bite from the apple all at once.
Trying to deliver something too large, and without being able to iterate quickly there were roadbumps.
We have re-prioritized on what will be minimally functional so that the new tool is used, any other features we can add after the fact.
That portion is almost done.
</p>
<p>
Still keeping my eyes open for other opportunities.

<h2>Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu</h2>
<p>
The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
I am so grateful for the community.
</p>
<p>
Training has lightened up post competition.
The competition did not go very well but that happens and I learned a lot.
Now enjoying having a break from the stress of competition prep.
</p>
<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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>Tinkering</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Have been spending most of my tinkering time on a private project.
Have learned a lot, still web development, using HTMX for speed.
