Today I Learned
This is a special part of the digital woods where I try to log what I've learned every day. The universe is big and complex thing - learning a little bit about it every day makes life a bit more interesting.
Date | What I learned |
|---|---|
| Jun 15 2020 | People who work in the produce distribution business really do hustle. I met someone at the food terminal who wakes up at 12am to drive 2 hours downtown and sell flowers from his truck by himself. |
| Jun 8 2020 | I learned how to the React-based graphing libraries Nivo and ReCharts to visualize user activity over time. Also learned to the SQL GROUP BY function to summarize timestamp logs based on the day. |
| Jun 16 2020 | It's important to have a ritual of some sort. They are great ways to practice doing something with commitment. |
| Jun 19 2020 | Learned about Azure resource groups and how to use them. |
| Jun 14 2020 | Website translations are tough. I discovered Weglot, and a business model that is blatantly obvious in hindsight. |
| Jun 13 2020 | If you're a student developer, the free stuff from Github's Student Developer Pack is a huge money saver for projects. |
| Jun 12 2020 | Learned the importance of checking my emails more often. Also learned that POST requests take some time. |
| Jun 18 2020 | It's important to stay in touch with friends and reach out to new people. Don't let circumstances such as quarantine serve as excuses not to contact people in other ways. |
| Jun 23 2020 | There's a lot of free time in the day if you know where to look. |
| Jun 24 2020 | You can never plan for a conversation. Just go with the flow and see where it takes you! |
