Goals ReDerb. Start very slowly 2025-02-23 08:50 Try and do stuff slowly. Still half asleep Shower thought. Here’s why it makes no sense for me (or anyone else) to compare myself to others success or measure myself by the progress they make / effort they are able to put in. It all boils down to, They’re not me and I’m not them. Time, Effort, Intensity. My life, what i can do, how much energy I can put into doing it. These probably are in my control in the sense of how much I can give. But I need to realise that what I can give, varies. Other people can probably give more, because of two other factors. Luck and Privilege. And those are not in my control. So folks are not inherently better or superior than you or me. So what I need to do, is give whatever I can, the mostest, while also being aware of all the other duties and responsibilities I have. And be aware that my life, my circumstances are different from others. That gives me peace. More expounding on the previous thought, on the effects of what I can give or pay with No money, means giving time, which means stuff takes longer than other folks. to speed it up, I can be more intense, which means giving up other things (that may be as, or more important.) Intensity also takes a toll on the body. (slipped discs at three different portions along my spine, have proven that to me 😂) So Intensity has a cost. Which brings us back to money. That is the most fungible resource, which is ofcourse why the “rich” favour it. (and also why, when some “rich” new client demands something outrageous of me, I now tend to price them out of my life, by demanding they pay in the same currency as they demand of me. Time and intensity12) So spend money when you can. And when you don’t have it, consider if whatever big thing you are attempting, is worth the time and sacrifice you are about to make. If not, temper them. Bind them with limited time, or lower intensity. Realise that everything has a cost. The best things in life aren’t priceless. They are paid for with your time and attention. Spend them wisely. ReDerb Referring back to books to learn more about packages and such Redid the rederb directory.

2025-02-20 Notes

Goals Some Golang Client Meeting 2025-02-20 11:00 Making some progress on Golang. Slow going the concept of a golang “package” finally clicked. As long as multiple files share the same package name, as far as the data and functions are concerned, it’s a single, abstracted whole! 2025-02-20 13:30 Client Meeting 2025-02-20 16:30 Some more Go Now I only struggle reading Go code. Instead of drowing and flailing about like I did earlier. Tiny steps Figured out what music I can use as the background, now that neither Classical or songs with English lyrics work. I’ve begun listening to K-drama soundtracks in the background. Keeps me focussed. It’s lovely and peppy and soothing and fun! Feedback on this post? Mail me at feedback at this domain. P.S.
