THE LADS

My mate Shmiddy has been taking learning to code seriously. I thought he’d bitch out but he committed and actually did the work. This is fucking awesome; I love seeing lads try new things.

I’m having him start off with React by building a blog. He’s taking a tailwind HTML theme, converting it to React + Typescript + NextJS, and then to write an article in MDX. After that we are going to deploy it on Netlify. This will be awesome, because hopefully by the end of this week the fucker will have released his first product.

After we’ve done that he’ll feel empowered to build a whole bunch of stuff. It always happens this way, so I’m looking forward to see where to direct him next.

I ordered fish and chips and got FISH FINGERS 🤙

ME

Body

I’m getting little nitrogen-pops all over my body. Its been 3 days since I first MMT’d my lower + mid back and 1 day since the glutes. I feel like my bones are “knuckle-cracking” all through my ribs etc. I’ve got one that feels like a muscle tear, but its not painful… more like I’m just aware of it? I’m assuming that this actually something that has become “unstuck” but its really hard to know objectively.

Work

I need a life.

Blogs

I’ve been frustrated by the nextjs project and tailwind. I couldn’t get the styles to compute. Turns out my stupid ass was ignoring .ts and .tsx files. This took me a week to figure out 🤦‍♂️ I’m wondering if the build will be more performant now? It looks like the Netlify(AWS) CDNs have been rough.

GOALS

• Fill in one “previous employment” section of the professional website.
• MMT - Lower back again. My brain is fighting me to do this, but no bitching out. I’ve had a fucked lower back for 10 years and I’m unfucking it.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• MMT lower back and thoracic spine - wow that hurt
• Professional website stuff
• Talked to the boss - I think I’ve been fired? 🤷‍♂️
• Watched the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre :D
