Daily Dispatch 27 - Debugging Issues
So hello, it’s been a while, and I haven’t being keeping up with my daily dispatches, or maybe my days are longer than yours. Relativity man, who knows? So I was playing around with a Node.js (nodejs.org) project hosting it using Docker alongside a Postgres database.

Daily Dispatch 26 - Black Swam
How do you predict the unpredictable? Some of what I’ve found reading Black Swan (Still haven’t finished it): * What Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues in his book Black Swan is that the first step is to realize which variables you can and can’t predict. Emphasis on the “can’

Daily Dispatch 25 - Pomodoro
One of the things I started using in college and was such a game changer that I continued using was the Pomodoro Technique. What is it? Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s created what is called The Pomodoro Technique. He wanted to help improve with his studies by making it

Daily Dispatch 21 - Gym and Kotlin Native Memory Model
I know y’all miss my daily dispatches, that aren’t daily at all, only on the days I do write them. So I’ve been out of gym, due to the price rising too high and my current employer recently giving me Gympass access. So I decided to cancel

Daily Dispatch 20 - Web of Ideas
... forming those relationships trains your brain to look for patterns. After all, connection is learning.

Daily Dispatch #19 - Guitar Practice and Learning
It takes about 5 minutes a day, over 2 months to have those calluses on the fingertips to be able to play a classic guitar without feeling sharp pain. So I decided to pick up guitar as a daily practice, just to have some hobby outside of looking at a

Daily Dispatch 18 - Enter Niklas Luhmann
What if your notes could talk to each other like free objects in space? Or like neurons talk to each other?
