    • created a product grid of images of books
    • wrote backup script to backup every hour; scheduled as a cron on OpalStack

  • All code generated via antigravity or cursor. I review code or chat with the code to understand;

# Week 2 (2026-01-10)

  • Prepared my first sermon of the year - Developing Spiritual Perception
  • Developing with agy is at once amazing and utterly disappointing. It helps me to debug a complex infrastructure issue but complicates a simple logic.
  • Implemented downloading images for books in Zlynks; Happy the app is coming up well
  • Weekly some of us are meeting over zoom and track our 12 weeks goal. Super happy about this.
  • Jerry started learning Chinese. He seems to enjoy it. In a test, he scored 2nd (out of 7). Everyone else is a corporate employee.
  • Temp is 5℃ & so cold; This week is going to be cold like this.
  • Met Hemant, with whom I use to run DSD (startup) a decade back. So many fond memories.

# Week 1 (2026-01-03)

  • Went to night service on 1st. Came back only at 3 am. Slept, ate, and slept.
  • Late in the evening, went to Cafe Well-Being for reading, relaxing, and some snacks.
