Reflections on the past (2) week(s)

TLDR:

• Setup tailscale + jellyfin
• Finished the pragmatic programmer book
• Finished reading the radar from thoughtworks
• Finished reading the graphrag paper

In terms of coding. There was almost none. Unless you don’t count me setting up tailscale + jellyfin to access my media library from anywhere. It was a fun project and compared to the cloudflare setup was really easy. Got me excited to try and setup immich for self-hosted storage. However I want to setup a backup plan using hetzner before moving completely to this solution. But I’m thinking that if I get everything working and get a cheap backup plan to hetzner that I might actually spare some changes. Specially if I count this for both me and fiancee.

Ahhh, I also kinda focused on finishing the pragmatic programmer book. It’s been an eye opener to me. Suddenly I understand what are the good qualities I’ve seen in people I look up to. The midnset to always be learning and improving. To be humble and test lot’s of things. To test and automate. To be a good communiticator and a team player. These are all written ideas on the book.

Frankly, the book club has been really good to me. I already got good insights that I need to write down and apply throughout my life.

Next week’s plan

I’m taking this week to organize the next projects. One thing I’ve noted is that it’s important to write down the projects I want to do but I haven’t gotten the long terms goals set as proposed on the pragmatic thinking book. Need to revise and adapt the semester goals.

Focus mean taking one thing at a time. And looking back into the past weeks I see that I tend to have multiple projects which tend to be a bit overwhelming. Let’s see if less is more.

See you next week!
