Weeknotes 176

We spent the first few days of the week down south. I managed to catch up with several people I haven’t seen in a while, which was worth the trip. I was glad to get home though. I guess this is a good sign.

The plans we have for the house are starting to firm up. We now have drawings, which will soon be submitted to the council for planning approval. The beginning of many headaches I fear.

The amount of decision making that is going to be necessary for the renovations to take place is a bit overwhelming.

I attended another local meetup group this week. It’s good to be getting back into the swing of things. Having something to focus on that is regular is a good thing for my routine.

Heroku is expensive, but he’s not wrong.

Hot take: it’s trending right now but indiehackers launching on a VPS are creating infra overhead for themselves that could be better spent on building product or doing marketing.

If you’re a solo founder I still think Heroku is the best fit, and I’ll die on that hill.

Scavengers Reign which I really enjoyed last year has unfortunately not been renewed for second season. I hope they can get it off the ground some other way.

The new computer arrives tomorrow so I spent some time tidying up my dotfiles, which are in a constant state of flux as I try out random snippets of Lua I found on the Internet.

Some small progress on my new side project this week. I’ve been thinking about starting a development journal of sorts, so I can get my thoughts down on progress. I tend to see all problems as too difficult for me to solve, but if I do solve them then I attribute that to luck, or pick holes in the solution. Maybe writing down what has been done will help.
