I will continue experimenting with Docusaurus. I need to build my "Author" page, because for now it's all in Lorem ipsum 😅 Maybe I will also try deploying it somewhere 🤔 Here's what I have for now:

As for writing, I want to document my journey through Docusaurus and also finish writing my second post on dev.to ✍🏻

trying to finish a branch that's been sitting for two weeks. also trying to debug without reaching for the AI assistant first this week - it's easy to outsource the trace and miss what's actually wrong.

I will try to do some marketing for my SaaS Squidly (squidly.sh/) to get people to try it. But as a developer, I find it difficult to tackle this subject.

Your goal of pushing through content for side projects is impressive. Balancing that with a job search is tough. When I'm focused on tech interviews, I've found prachub.com to be really helpful, especially for system design mocks. It's better than scrolling through random Glassdoor threads. Keep those camera goals in mind too; capturing moments is just as valuable as coding.

I'm working on setting up meetings with potential clients for my new endeavor, a local digital marketing service that helps local businesses fix their online presence. I'm aiming to make 5 meaningful connections this week to lock down my first clients.

I want to finish reviewing chapter 2 of a book about AI agents. I am also on vacation in France. So, I am not sure if I can reach my goals. C'est la vie :)
