This past month, I’ve been reevaluating my dev environment and workflow. My goals are to reduce RSI, be more efficient, as well as learn all my tools as deeply as possible. And have fun! - I’ve ditched VSCode and gone all-in on NeoVim. I’ve spent a bunch of time watching Primeagen, etc., tweaking my vid config and learning how to navigate as efficiently as possible. - Switched from QWERTY to Colemak-DH to hopefully r…

Strongly urge you to acquire a Logitech MX Vertical mouse. It takes a few days to get used to; now you'd have to pry it from my dead hands.

I spent the last week evaluating drag and drop form designers and came to the reluctant conclusion that I’d be better off building my own. Long story. So now I’m building a drag and drop form designer, quite the deviation from the road I need to travel down. Its almost certainly a rabbit hole but at least I’ve forewarned myself.

I'd be interested in code if you produce something you like.

I've been attempting to relearn music theory for the third time.

The first attempt was over a decade ago, and I never really quite got it.

The second attempt was about 6 years ago, and while the fundamentals clicked and I improved dramatically as a musician/composer, I still only ever learned some small portion of the basics.

This time, I'm taking it a few steps further. I'm going back to the basics first to recheck my existing understanding of things, and really trying to take my time and understand each new concept before moving on.

I'm currently working my way through this online textbook: https://musictheory.pugetsound.edu/mt21c/frontmatter.html

I've also picked up a simple little budget keyboard (a 61-key Casio CT-S1) that does just what I need at a great price.

Having a lot of fun so far and learning a ton! :)
