My book was officially approved and scheduled! The contract is still cooking, but the project is launching.

Also there's a minor thing of me starting a new job this week, it being fun, and already starting to make an impact.

It's nice to use something more simple in terms of syntax and not so strict in terms of "building". To be fair though it's really refreshing learning something different

I launched a SaaS MVP called crudl me that provides an adaptable, REST-like API and data storage.

Maybe I'll write an article about it soon..

Spent two hours at my dentist yesterday for a root canal. Roots have been disintegrated! Sore today but pain free finally.

I finished my proposal for a new workflow for the office. TBH, I hated writing a lot of it because the tone of the writing is not how I prefer to communicate (I hate using corporate sounding language to describe things). But I do see the value in completing the exercise, both for the organization and myself.
