• What makes me feel motivated?
• Lingering TODOs

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.
