RC Day 17 - Unsettled

It’s been kind of a frustrating day, because I didn’t settle to anything in particular, and instead flitted between projects.

• Execute Program. Everyday TypeScript and Asynchronous JavaScript. There was a fun lesson on event loops today.
• Spent a little time reading about zod, and looking into parsing files uploaded to the browser (for the little ML metrics viz app I’m working on).
• Also looked more into implementing a combo box component, and then started questioning if that’s even the right interface for the thing I want.
• Some hacky scripting for a semantic similarity project I’ve been working on using a commercial large language model API. This is the project the combo box is for.
• Paired on Game of Life in Rust for an hour. Successfully read a board state from a file.
• Coffee chat with another Recurser.

Maybe I just needed a couple of days away from the metrics viz app. I’m feeling good about focussing on it tomorrow.
