Today may end up better than the past two days. Got some good sleep around the expected time, and whilst wasting my time on the Internet earlier a part of me kept nagging me that I want to build the habit of working on projects in whatever spare time I have, no matter how tiny.

But, first, time to go watch Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

I have been corrected on my word usage. Regimen, not regiment. I figured it was a french word or something and the t was silent.

Time to sed fix that little mistake with sed!

Woo!

So, not going to repeat problems anymore. Going to instead do lots of problems. If I hit a problem that takes me way longer than I anticipate, I will consider whether or not I'm biting off more than I can chew. If I am, I will save the problem for later.

Saving the problems I do and doing retrospectives/post-mortems are still things I should do.

They no longer need to be separate posts.

I may merge past posts if I feel like it.

I will start devoting 1 hour per day to HackerRank, as a part of my doing lots of problems plan.

I can work on gaining familiarity with how to solve similar problems via solving lots of problems.

It's like learning to speedrun rogue-likes.

Ideas on how to mutate problems may also be good. Also, keeping problems to solve again in a different language may too prove useful.

Oh, hey, it's Saturday now. Time to start a new post.
