I want to set up a n8n self hosting instance on my server and run a marketing funnel for this site. I want to present a pop up like substack to subscribe to a newsletter and build an audience. And at the end, turn some readers to paid members.

One of the things I am weak at as a fullstack engineer is the backend. I very comfortable in developing interfaces for users. I'm much more confident in CSS, HTML, and JS than I am in NodeJS and Express. For the past 3 weeks, I've been going through Frontend Masters NodeJS API Design, presented by Scott Moss of Netflix. It's really helpful in understanding the backend. Here are my notes:…

The challenge was that I'd have starts and stops on a projects. I would end up forgetting what I was doing and didn't have a good way to kickstart a project. In fact last year, I developed deep sense of alienation from my work. I felt I didn't have any…

I recently discussed AI in the workplace with my manager. I had a growing sense that he's feeling the pressured to get on the AI train or be left behind. I prodded him with question about education but it didn't go anywhere. He interpreted my question was about AI in school.

And I mean that very seriously. You must accept them and accept them with love. For these innocent people have no other hope. They at, in effect, still trapped in a history which they do not understand; and until they understand…
