I am starting a weekly summary/reflection series that will be a high level view of things I have worked on or fixed or just things I want to track or note.

Things I enjoyed:

• deployed this site
• got an old raspberry pi running again
• started back into some rust learnings with blockchain, TUI, and MQTT hacking ^{1 2 3}
• started working on a walnut utensil rest
• applied to 10 jobs

Things I did not enjoy:

• seemingly bricked my RockPro64 as it won't boot past a black screen. ordered an adapater to help debug at a lower level.
• rejected from multiple jobs
• felt very confused by some of the rust learnings. makes sense in pieces but hard to see as the whole picture just yet
• confirmed old fitbit can't be flashed with any open source/non-fitbit software
