- Ookie daycare has independence day celebration. Anu found a costume for her.
- Notion raised the Plus plan’s monthly cost from $5 to $12, which I grudgingly paid. I guess time to ask for a raise đ. Even though AI is often pushed down my throat, Notion is very good at what it does. I use it for nearly all of my work.
- It was is just too much hassle in migrating to Joplin or Obsidian. Besides publishing and syncing services cost roughly the same.
- Notion is mostly being built in a high-income country and I am in a medium income country. I understand that I need to pay this price. We need more software and service that are built and used by folks in same income range like Zoho is for business. Only if they have something good for personal use.
- I can wish all I want but I am unlikely to see such great homegrown solution unless we have homegrown customer willing to spend money on such solutions (Innovation starts with consumers, not academia).
- At work, I am more willing to take responsibilities and ownership â lead role. I was reluctant before and wanted to remain IC for a while to avoid dealing with people problems. I was naive, people problems always find you!
- This week went into learning about what is current in software architectures and system design. This blog Everything I know about good system design was timely.
- And I didnât do any planned work on my personal projects. Perhaps time has come to make peace with the fact and I can do only one or a few things in life properly.
