I've been feeling unmotivated lately, perhaps due to my recent loss as well as working on the same project for so long.

What makes me feel motivated?

  • Teaching

    • Pairing with Eric has been great
    • Mentoring Alex has been as well
  • Designing systems and release plans

    • Very proud of User Management. Simple design, complex migration and release plan.
  • Studying and applying programming paradigms

    • Polishing the monad library, focusing on completing async Result to provide concise pipelining.

Lingering TODOs

  • Talk on Python Types
  • Talk on my work setup (Emacs, note taking, git client, etc.)
  • Setting up a concise framework for HTTP API services based on our current cookie-cutter. Not as exciting as some things, but still at least interesting.
  • Starting up a fortnightly seminar covering SICP and other texts / topics for anyone interested.
