Trying a bit of cooking and chess (so not related to software dev) and although I enjoy it, I have a hard time remembering stuff (e.g. chess openings).
Same for software dev stuff (e.g. reading Designing Data Intensive applications, which is great and interesting, but having a hard time reading more than 2 or 3 pages before drifting off)
Thanks for the advice though. Definitely looking to keep pushing in that front.
I have since started a Spring framework project because I see Java postings at my company left and right and although I may not understand everything going into it, it all kind of explains itself as I work with it. If I were to read a Spring framework book, I’d be lost if i didn’t have a platform to play with.
I found what to do as a project through my girlfriend. She’s in molecular cell biology and we identified a problem that affects the community of phycologists and I started working on a tool that I think should help a lot and might land me a paper.
I’m not going to lie, it gets frustrating sometimes. I have no mentor or any friends in software to help me out when I’m confused and I have to take a few days away from it to let my brain relax and try again later.
I built it to the point of “well ok! Looks like it kinda works!” And then I realized that what I had built would be a problem down the road.So here I am refactoring the core of the app because “this MAY be an issue in the future let’s just fix it now”. And I got stuck a bit. There is nothing I want more than publish this thing and have something to show to employers.

Note: I have been thinking of a tool and i´m trying to put the right pieces of added value together.
The problem: The encoding and decoding is more but not less. Meaning: time is valueble --> I want to build a framework to work smarter, more linked and much faster.
The solution I did some thinking and i would like to talk to you about it. Ronald Olzheim.
