Set up the Backend

by Cory on September 7, 2019

I refactored some of the react code and set up my django models so now I have forums and threads. I also made forum and thread list views.

I changed the editor a little bit so that it appears in what would be the next post in a thread:

    Forum Progress

    by Cory on September 1, 2019

    I'm actually making progress!

    So over the course of the last week, I was running into trouble trying to keep "mirage-editor" and "sp-forums" in separate packages. Someone explained to me online that you need to build the mirage-editor files (beca...

    Mirage Editor

    by Cory on August 11, 2019

    I've been slowly chipping away at making a text editor using React. Damn, I thought I could make something quick and simple real quick but text processing has so many corner cases and shit. This isn't even a simple react app.

    The progress I'm mak...

    Starting Something New...

    by Cory on July 22, 2019

    I quit my fucking job! I almost have a new job, maybe. I might have about a month for a nice vacation.

    I haven't been keeping up with my projects during the job hunt and I fell off the meditation wagon really hard. I'm in a much better place ment...

    Session ?

    by Cory on June 3, 2019

    Damn, I haven't been doing these lately. I flew to Boston this past week and went to a job interview. It was pretty stressful.

    But that's not why I'm making this entry. I just happened to go get some water with a work friend and we sat down outsi...

    Session 5

    by Cory on May 28, 2019

    Note to self: need to do this more regularly. Every night before bed?

    Was unusually calm this time. Not sure if meditation is working because I was stressed and depressed and angry after getting bad news on Friday but then I felt strangely calm a...

    Session 4

    by Cory on May 22, 2019

    I'm sitting seiza on my bed. The lights are on and I'm staring at the books on my bookshelf.

    Slightly elevated heartbeat. Probably around 80bpm. Minor, dull pit in stomach but nothing extreme.

    I'm concerned about my definition of success and cha...

This is the most beautifully laid out book. It's for really new beginners though, but the later examples are pretty substantial.

Anger Management for Everyone

Raymond Chip Tafrate

I had to read this because I started to hate my job and all my ideas don't make any money. It's a good book though with a lot of techniques that cover lifestyle changes, behavioral changes, and provides you with ways to manage anger. Not just anger but bitterness and over negativity too. To get the most out of the book requires picking a new strategies and following through on them until they become habit. I've been trying to keep a disciplined schedule and practice for these couple weeks and I think I can already feel results.

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup

John Carreyrou

I didn't know that Theranos was so fucking crazy. Just from casually listening to the news I thought it was just some girl who bit off more than she could chew and then started lying. No, this is the Final Fantasy 7 house of silicon valley start ups. I was captivated by this guys book the whole way through. I thought 350 pages would be long but it flew by. Also the stereotype pairing of young girl engineer and creepy piece.of shit incompetent old guy is really common in Silicon Valley. It's the worst. I need to get out of here.

12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Jordan B. Peterson

This book is life anecdotes backed up with psychology for how to become an enlightened person. He also really likes the Bible. (Belief not necessary to enjoy the book). I think he has some interesting points but I disagree on a couple things, for instance when he says it's completely unreasonable to not want to have kids or that "striving the maximum good for most people" is specific enough to let you figure out what you should do in a day. I learned a lot of cool things about lobsters though.
