What I’m Doing Right Now
- Trying to get back to building POCs that solve personal problems
- Simplifying my tech stack to make it more efficient and easier to maintain
- Getting back into RSS to stay informed instead of relying on social media
What once was now, is then.
- Reading more… and giving audiobooks another chance.
- Leaning heavily back into my front-end development days for some hobby projects
- Finally utilizing AI more consistently in my life for actual benefit (versus it just being cool)
- Learning how to make all my favorite cocktails (and saving a ton of money in the process)
- Finally seeing (and enjoying) more work travel for the first time since pre-COVID.
- Not loving the summer humidity that’s now in full force
- Reading more about reading and how to read better by writing
- Evolving to set aside time for unproductivity
- Using new frameworks and languages to force myself to grow
- Planning weekend getaways to embrace the chilly weather
- Spending more time than I should finding nice color schemes
- Honing in on the foods that make me most happy
- Making Stiegl Radler cocktails inspired by Chaplin’s in DC
- Learning more and more about Python
- Enjoying an Aperol Spritz or two to welcome in Spring
- Exploring Philadelphia’s ecclectic restaurant scene
- Reading about value extraction
- Enjoying mulled wine to combat the cold evenings
- Learning about and trying to apply mental models to everyday life
- Constantly hemming and hawing about buying a pizza oven
- Reminiscing about DC as we finalize the sale of our house there
- Holding onto and making ramen recipes despite 90° days
- Trying out new happy hours all around Philadelphia
