I succesfully implemented what I call a Momentum carousel in a project I'm working on.

Got back to the gym and started eating healthy again. Guess what? Just a few days and I'm already feeling more focused when working/studying/reading

Awesome!

This book is a really great investigation of the link between exercise and brain function. I'd recommend it if you haven't read it. Really helps me hammer home the need to get physical exercise for the sake of a healthy mind.

I finished “The World We Make” by N.K. Jemisin. Marvelous book from the only author to win three consecutive Hugo awards, and to win awards for all three books in a trilogy.

I also managed to take a whole week off of work without logging in at all, which is a really big accomplishment for me.

My new book is out and already the #1 new release in Java Programming!

I started on a newer book last week and am past the halfway mark at 150 pages. Will probably have it out in a couple of weeks...

Decided to leave a startup I was working on. It's technically a loss but I'm counting it as a win because in the past I would have had a hard time with the "sunk time fallacy". This time I made the right call early on and cut.

Wow! That is quite a feat. Major congrats!

I am not surprised though! Your output and work ethic is incredible. I regulary see ya sharing awesome content in the Java space.

As for leaving the startup, it sounds like you have a good outlook on it all. Anywho, wishing ya the best on the new book and whatever else comes next!

I finished writing a chapter that wound up being almost 50 pages long, sent edits back for 3 other chapters already in review, and fixed a particularly tricky bug yesterday.

Sounds like an accomplished week to me! Nice to hear the book is coming along well.

Yeah, I'm real near being done with the first drafts on the whole of part 1. In a few days I'll have 6 chapters in first draft or better and 11 remaining. I suspect that first part will be the hardest chunk of the book to write, other than a pair of technically challenging chapters around Roslyn Analyzers. Still feels a bit surreal to be writing a book through a publisher, but I'm really enjoying it.
