 I had to throw the beanie on cuz got a little chilly and I got out the shower not that long ago So my hair's still wet today's Monday guys I wanted to actually like talk through some of the things I'm working on for work in my last work week in my life I kind of talked about my work from a higher level perspective But today I could talk about it from a more granular level. So right now. I'm working on Unit testing for our dead phone product that our team owns And this is why I still consider myself a software engineer my job title is developer advocate, but 50% of my job is software engineering focused Some quarters It's like 75% of my work is solely focused on maintaining our dev phone or adding new features I don't have a ton of experience with unit testing So I've been leaning on some of our software engineers for help with how to start like what? Frameworks and libraries are most popular and easier to use for a mono repo library So right now I'm looking at just and white which are testing frameworks along with react testing library Our goal is to have a 50% test coverage So I found this really cool tool called Istanbul Which is a JavaScript code coverage tool that tracks which parts of your code have Executed unit tests or executed by unit tests All right, what's up everyone today's Tuesday, and I had a few meetings this morning did a Recovery run have a basketball game today at 9 15, but had a really productive day Had a great conversation with one of our UX designers And it was just nice to be able to have a conversation with a UX designer on like a different team Well, there's no UX designers on our on our team anyway So it was nice just interacting with a UX designer to talk through some developer experience and user experience along with some research And then we also had our Department-wide all hands the first one this year and energy was really good And it's always refreshing to have like those department meetings have really good energy Especially when you see some of your close co-workers in those meetings that you don't normally get a chance to interact with on like a Even weekly basis and everyone's kind of together now about to make lunch Really late lunch and been cooking our meals with hello fresh hello fresh with it I never thought I would be interested in like pre-packaged meals, but I love it It prevents us from spending extra money at the grocery store when we don't need to or eating out especially since we've been really focused on making our own meals to walk to a cafe and It's a blue hour So it looks really cinematic and I'm also going to peak design to get another tripod So I need them like more portable tripod So I'm gonna check out their carbon fiber tripod and their aluminum tripod But they're both basically like travel tripods that are easier to carry around. I only have two layers on right now I'm sweating. So today is like the first semi-warm day and Probably like at least a week and I didn't really know how to dress I only wore two layers as I thought I'd be hot because I sweat easily and thankfully only wore two layers I'm gonna try to find a coffee shop. So I could do a little bit of react programming with Testing libraries. I talked about yesterday and then also have some video editing doing to do for this event I did a few months ago with a really cool brand and I've always been fond of I wanted to try out some of your tripods. Yeah Okay It's outside of the way. Is there any other difference like The release plates are the same Hold down on this twist and out comes the phone Oh, that was quick that was super quick. Wow, that's way better when I've been doing in the head turns and like each direction to So today's Wednesday, I got up really early honestly just couldn't sleep past like 6 15 Which is really early for me So I decided to just get up because I know that if I would have went back to sleep I would have woke up even more exhausted So I'd rather be tired midday than exhaust in the beginning of the day So I decided to stretch up and using this app called pliability on the pixel It's just really like calm and immersive stretching app and I Stretch for 23 minutes, which is like a really long time, but I had a basketball game yesterday. I have to probably run for like 60 70 minutes today So I need to make sure that I'm feeling good and mobile also. I love stretching because it gives me Time to be more present. I don't I don't love stretching. I love when I do stretch like that I like the benefits that stretching gives you nonetheless. I have Spanish lessons today. So I have to finish up my homework and I've been learning Spanish Aprendiendo a spaniel mucho and I've been taking Spanish lessons weekly and I can already see a difference I'm learning some cool idioms. I guess Banco Miro cuando coro 10 miles as Banco Miro So I basically said that when I run 10 miles, it's a piece of cake another idiom I learned is Edis a mi media naranja, which means you're of my other half So excited to keep learning Spanish. I want to become fluent one day. So I have to get out of my comfort zone So right now I'm watching an easy Spanish lesson and I'm doing some chunking homework Which basically means I'm taking verbs that I don't know words that I don't know and then I'm writing them down And then writing them down in a sentence to help remember them I was looking crazy in that last shot definitely not one of my better angles But I want to get more comfortable talking to the camera and just having these more like low-key Sections in the video where we're just having a conversation and definitely comment below if you enjoy when I just chat Because I enjoy watching other people chat but as a videographer and cinematographer my highest priority is always like keeping you engaged and Filming really cool B-roll segments, which are dope, but I think the value is probably from the conversational piece I Started doing this new stretch routine. Oh, wow new bands. Okay Nice So I found this tiktok video on how to warm up Before you work out because a lot of people don't work out warm up and I was one of those people I know you should always get hurt, but I stick to this same Think it's a total of five exercises five stretches active stretches it totals to 50 reps and Since then I've just been a lot more mobile and I haven't gotten injured also haven't strained and like tried to Oversert myself with lifting anymore and focus more on having good reps and mobility actually a lot It's seven exercises, and it's 70 reps. I got no headphones. Might just have to back it out At least for the pull-ups for those of you all who are curious today's pool day for one But also the workout is called see the ultimate conditioning or horsepower. I honestly can't remember how I'll just screenshot it to the right of me But we have why group pull-ups three sets of ten already did two sets only showed you my second some out of breath some lateral raises T-bar rows, but we're gonna replace those with regular barbell rows spider curls resistant band tricep extensions and then the killer is the ten sets of ten Deadlifts which I got to be careful because I'm probably gonna run like six or seven miles today So I got to take it easy It was so snowy and icy and just freezing like you know, New York You're still walking around and being uncomfortable, but walking around in 20-degree weather With snow everywhere on the sidewalks is not fun, but I'm in Prospect Heights about to go to Hungry Ghosts You guys know it's like my favorite coffee shop at this point coffee shop I'm gonna be working on some react programming and I also need to finish up this edit But yeah, just it's a good day. It's 45 degrees. So I'm just happy like that the weather is bearable enough to take a walk Productive at home. It just is well hard to be motivated and stay focused So sometimes you just need a change of scenery not cargo to you, but I honestly don't know the name of the more beautiful Locations on the water and I'm excited feel good. We got massages yesterday to loosen up two days before The race and now we're about to grab Some food and then walk around San Francisco hit a few shops Just you know, we just enjoying being in Cali, right, babe The gems just right. All right, it's 843. They cancel the race, but I'm forcing Julian to run To build character theory to callus to callus our minds
