HUNGRY FOR PROGRAMMING AGAIN
I am programming again. This pleases me. I am tinkering with
a ESP8622 project, trying to get a clutch of sensors setup
around some rooms, publishing temperatures to a MQTT broker,
and subscribing to topics for LED colors and simple
interactivity, like turning on LEDs when someone walks into
a room.
I have an appetite for more programming, and configuration
of my network for things like ad-blocking, better
backups. I'm not too worried about actually doing any of
this, which I believe is why I enjoy the work again.
What got me back into this hobby is scheduling. I set aside
the time every week to sit down and faff around. Mornings
feel best, as my mind is fresh and less likely to get bogged
down by bad programming habbits, like rushing to
implementation at the expense of accuracy.
Another bad habbit my wisdom seems to have put to rest:
endless workflow configuration. I seem to be outside of
that nauseating loop. I use simple tools that don't require
much in the way of configuration. That is nice. What a
breath of energy.
