daily-blog-1

Writing blog is something that is close to my heart and I thoroughly enjoy the process. It also calms down the chaos inside me. I have decided to write one every single day. It doesn’t have to be long, just one paragraph will do as well as long as I am being honest.

Today morning was a slow start and I didn’t wanted to travel to office. Also, my kid missed his school, so I thought will just work remotely today. In the morning, got some important meetings with teammates and decided on the work that I need to do in the coming few weeks. At work, we are building a very cool feature which would work on all the major OSes. I am lucky to be able to play a major part in this process. I have also been enjoying writing TypeScript quite a bit for this project. The other part of this is in Go and that is quite fun to write a well. Coming from writing Python for 12 straight years, working with Type Safe languages is a breath of fresh air. However, the work is by no means trivial and I am learning /re-learning tonnes while working on it. I am really looking forward to shipping this to all our customers soon.

At Open Source front, I am going to ship a major demo project integrating React with Django CMS. However, React Router has undergone a major update and I need to learn a lot of things. My other team mate in Django CMS, Fabian is on Fire and It’s sometime hard to catch up with him. At the same time, I am proud of the progress we have been making off late.

I have also decided to work on my anger issues. Recently, I have let myself get into stressful situations and I have vowed to not subject myself to those situations anymore and to keep myself first while interacting with folks. Yesterday, I also caught up with my friend from college and his family and we had a nice time. Today, I also missed my Gym Session, as I just wanted to sleep in today. I have accumulated a lot of sleep debt and want to do better on it.

Alright, that’s it for now. Will post another update tomorrow.

Cheers! 🤘
