<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.
|
|

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>
|
|
Have been working mostly on the website for our wedding.
|
|
It has been a lot of fun, added magic links, more interactiviy both from the guest and admin side.
|
|
Menu selections have been the most recent thing as well as linking the admin page to Mailgun so that we can send out customized emails to groups of guests.
|
|
For now that is private as it contains personal information.
|
|
I am starting to think that it would be fun to rewrite and generalize more to an event planning and coordination tool.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is a lot that I would do differently, and building and using it now has tought me a lot.
|
|
It is both a wonderful and terrible feeling looking back on past work and thinking that "I would do this completely differently".
|
|
It reminds me that I have learned a lot, but don't have the time currently to fully rewrite/redesign it.
