<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.

The team here at GB Toronto has become an external family.
|
|
I am so grateful for the community.

|
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.

<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>
|

|
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.
|

<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.
