Status update - February 2025 Week 3


Things I’ve done this week

  • Maintained consistency with my TODO list for the second straight week. After years of trying, I’m seeing incremental improvements
  • Updated the blog to Astro 5.3, resulting in performance improvements
  • Created two issues for the Readeck project. Would love to contribute a PR once I improve my GO knowledge
  • Received approval for my article publication on the VDS blog
  • Completed reading “Pragmatic Thinking and Learning”. Need to compile notes and write an article implementing the key action items

Reflections on the past week

I’ve adapted my reading approach by:

  • Using eleven reader for audio consumption
  • Taking notes directly on Kindle
  • Successfully completing the book despite time constraints

However, I had to deprioritize the BAT-POS project in favor of writing the blog post about data loading to Glue. My current focus is on deepening my understanding of this topic to produce a comprehensive article.

Next week’s plan

Monday:

  • Compile and organize notes from “Pragmatic Thinking and Learning”
  • Begin blog post on data loading to Glue tables using Python (focusing on AWS Data Wrangler and Ibis)

Tuesday:

  • Continue work on Glue-related blog post
  • Draft the next VDS article

Thursday to Saturday:

  • BONUS: Dedicate focused time to the BAT-POS project development

See you next week!
