Consistency ≠ Perfection Developer Operations Engineer is more than just my job title! I build Software (start to finish) in my job and free time. This blo...
Energy: Low to Moderate (v sleepy recently) Time: 30 mins Project(s): Houdini refamiliarization Notes: It's been a little while since I've done anything in Houdini and version 22 has been released. So a little time needs to be spent understanding where some of the projects I was working on have gotten to. What's changed that may help with anything and with some of my improved C++ knowledge can I…
So the title and intention of this blog is inspired by the artist Beeple. What's impressive to me about Beeple isn't that he sold his artwork as NFTs for a bajillion dollars. It's that his consistency is unlike anything I've ever seen. Imagine 15 years of always making sure you do at least one thing on a passion project, every single day! Imagine 15 years of consistent progress toward any goal. To…
Energy: Ok (Does anyone actually get 8 hours of sleep like in stretch, every night?) Time: 1 hour Project(s): Notes: Got the repo(s) updated and in sync with my local computer and server Win: Got something done, yay! Next: The most important thing right now is workflow, so tooling around that is what I'll be focusing on next
Energy: Good (decent sleep clocked 7.5 hours but concerned about waking up a lot 73 sleep score) It's been over a month, like over a month since I've written a single word here, wow! So considering how my life has unfolded over the past month with work projects taking up an ungodly amount of time outside of work (often working at 2 - 3am), I need to make a change to how and when I blog. I want to…
Energy: Ok (Think I'm still catching up from a busy weekend and insiting on waking up for the Australian Grand Prix!) Time: 1 hour Project(s): SpecOps Lab Notes: Got a comprehensive output from OpenClaw about what it needs in specs I think it's way more thorough than the output ChatGPT gave me and tbh, I'll be reading up about spec writing as much as I can to make sure I'm not writing these tools…
Energy: mid (Should be more tired went to bed at 2am woke up at 4am to watch a bit of the Austrailian Grand Prix, but couldn't really stay awake lol! Really disturbed sleep Saturday to Sunday) Time: 3-4 Hours Project(s): SpecOps Lab Notes: So I know it seems I've been away for 6 days or so but it's more that I've not blogged while working on other things My work project is really intense a lot of…
Energy: low-mid (Don't think I had much sleep but the watch says otherwise - funny thing I know I was awake for times it said I was asleep sooo...) Time: 0 hrs Project(s): Notes: Having existential discussions Still have the work task pending over my head with aim to get it done ASAP, so likely won't be progressing meaningfully with many personal projects Win: Keep going! Next: Get back into what…
Energy: Low ( 4 hours sleep ) Time: 0 hrs Project(s): Work, Work, Work! Notes: So I've been putting in some extra time to both get up to speed an impelement changes to an existing code base at work... Not easy stuff I'm junior to the role and understanding internal processes plus the codebase I can tell you is way more than 9-5! Thus will maybe putting projects on ice until I'm in a good place…
Energy: Meh (Kind of tired, but mostly eyes, need some more omega 7 supplements which seem to work for me) Time: ~ Project(s): ~ Notes: Not sure how 5 days went by without checking in! Work this week has revolved around eBay items and the work project I've been given. They say 9-5 but no way are you meeting expectations only working on things 9-5 so I've had to use personal time for dev on that…
Energy: () Time: Project(s): Notes: Codecrafters build Claude Code recreation of work project - spilling over to personal dev time Win: Next:
