📝 Daily Log – Reflection
It has been absolutely delightful to write here. It's been only 4 days doing it daily, but I've rediscovered the joy of writing. I wrote for over 8 months daily on a notebook, filling pages with thoughts, my daily activities, my struggles, and everything in between. It's nice to do it again. I'm going to stop numbering the days, as this is a marathon, not a sprint, and in the long run those numbers will not mean anything.
While this is not a place for more deep thoughts about life and my daily activities outside of the MVP journey it will bleed in from time to time. I'm not the best writer, but I enjoy writing way more than I enjoy reading. It might be reflected here, with many grammatical errors that may come with writing daily and without much proof checking. I don't truly care about that, if there is an error I will still be able to understand, and it shouldn't be that hard for other people to understand as well.
The journey on this planet is numbered, but on this website it won't be. As I think about numbering things, I also think about the demand of creating a new project every week. While it forces me to stay consistent and with discipline, it also comes with the darker side of forcing myself to work on something when I don't really feel like it. I enjoy creating projects and new stuff, but making everything into a project to share with the world, even though there isn't any feedback from this website, puts a lot of pressure to make it presentable.
I want to be able to go through this journey at my own pace, even though putting pressure on it might drive it to be more successful. The journey has begun a long time ago. I realized yesterday that it has been 16 years since I started programming, and this programming journey has been incredible. There has been so many projects over the years and many other things that will contribute to this journey that is just starting.
Moving step by step but with focus. Focusing on what comes every step of the way, and on the bigger picture. Even though the journey just started for this particular chapter, it will also end some day. I want to make the best of it. Today will be a day without much to show for. Gogo is dying (probably today) and it represents exactly what this website also represents. Every day should be cherished as it will end. Memento Mori.
It took a dark turn, but not all days are bright. This is just a dump of my thoughts, unfiltered. See you later.
