A little reflection.
A little growth.

Today I finally implemented the wait-list function for my boothy wait-list app. I'm very happy I finally got to implement it with no errors.

Today was a productive day, both technically and personally. I was able to code, attend my meetings, and work on improving my typing speed, with the goal of increasing my average to 35 WPM. I also made time to read the Bible, specifically Proverbs 7, and research and reflect on its main message rather than simply reading it passively. I also took time to meditate, which helped me slow down and reflect instead of spending the entire day operating on autopilot. On the technical side, I made meaningful progress on Refjou by implementing profile editing. I added the ability for users to edit their name, username, bio, and avatar. I created a new /settings page for editing profile information and added a POST /api/profile route with server-side validation. For username changes, I implemented an atomic Firestore transaction to ensure the username uniqueness index remains synchronized. I also updated GET /api/me to return the user's bio, added an Edit Profile button to the user's own profile page, added a Settings link to the navbar, and created a shared AVATAR_EMOJIS list in src/lib/avatars.ts. What I learned Today reminded me that progress doesn't have to come from one massive achievement. It can come from consistently moving several important areas forward: technical ability, discipline, physical/mental focus, knowledge, and spiritual reflection. One thing I particularly appreciate about today's development work is that I wasn't just changing the UI. I had to think about data integrity and consistency, especially with username changes and the Firestore uniqueness index. That is the kind of detail that separates simply making an application work from actually learning how to build reliable software. Main takeaway I need to keep becoming someone who can make progress across multiple dimensions without allowing one area to completely consume the others. Coding, learning, reading, meditation, communication, and improving my typing speed may seem like separate activities, but together they are building the capabilities I will need as an engineer and as a person. Today wasn't about doing something extraordinary. It was about stacking meaningful progress.

Today I left the house very very early in the morning to TN center in Abuja. I was assigned a desktop for my workspace. Actually got to connect with the fellows over there like Ola who is my workspace mate. I was able to do the exercises the drills and I learned a lot today from the talent nation website. Later on i got to read the Bible on the book of proverbs chapter 5 which talks about fleeing away from adultery and women if they are not yet your wife or you're not in a relationship, also talks about not giving strangers (women) who are not dedicated to you you're wealth because you shall regret it at the end. This does not mean that you should not give but actually what it means is that Wisdom is profitable to direct. Most times I've seen several men spend money on a woman who doesn't give a f*** about them thinking that will marry her at the end of the day the woman eats their wealth and goes away. Moving on to this night I was able to do the laundry after having a stressful day oh my God.

Today I was actually stressful and interesting at the same time. Started with green so check our Abuja center for Talent nation moving forward justin one of the coding mentors showed us around the facility and how it look like and everything and this was actually beautiful and lovely. He said that we should speak to our hoc to see if we are willing to switch from the Benue which is the Otukpo campus to the Abuja campus. Moving out forward I met song Chinese guy I spoke to them in Chinese in a car dealership, so I told my friends I'm going to come back to the car dealership and see them. So on my way going in my friends didn't want to follow me inside or at the end of the day Victor Alabi followed me behind and in the process of going inside the dealership i fortunately met the owner of the dealership and he asked what am I doing here do I want to buy a car and I told him that I am an I AI engineer I work with website I checked the website and I've seen that people are not able to order car and I told that I could add AI into his business and cut down the cost of things for your business. I also referred my friend who was behind me Victor that he's in charge of social media he could handle page and grow social media accounts. Moving on we shared contacts we get to know our name found out his name is Charles like mine and he say we'll see when he calls or something. Moving out today's evening i read the Bible i am actually reflecting at a very late hour and I should keep up the Habit of reflecting and stop wasting time that's it. Proverbs Proverbs actually talked about wisdom that Wisdom is really important as you are and gold and against that is Wisdom is being able to do the action executing like being able to use your knowledge into work.

Most times I feel like I'm getting tired of doing my daily reflection it feels stressful I need to add a Voice Note feature to this application. Today I was able to go to church pray to the lord and listen to the word of God, we also praised and danced, I was really blessed today. So chatting with a few friends we went for my friend's mom 50th birthday. We really celebrated chatted and by the end of the day my uncle came back and I had to go home then meet him because I haven't seen him in 6 months. Where him had a nice conversation and it was really really interesting and lovely seeing him. So currently I'm consistent on doing the TN drills and lessons every single day. Working with python is actually a bit simple and bit of similarities with golang but like Go language is more of a compiler than an interpreter like python.

Today was a very lovely day i meditated in the morning like I usually do i read the book of Proverbs Chapter 1 and learnt that the beginning of knowledge is is the fear of God. Moving on later in the afternoon me and my friends went to play pool that is me and Excel, while victor was doing braids in the saloon. I came back and did a little bit of coding and Talent nation drills.

I keep on improving day by day, today I went for meditation in the morning and my mind was blank and clarity came in. Yeah I was able to keep up with today's attendance we had a discussion about AI models and Eyung or friend of mine was the one leading the session for today it was actually interesting I learned a lot about how AI model work, tokenization and from my other fellows in the discord channel. So moving on today's afternoon I guess I did tutorial on Python hands on project by free code camp, i was able to perform some arithmetic operation using python, which I did using Go few weeks back. I learnt about the types of operators in Python which are the arithmetic, relational, logical, equality and identity operators. Moving on today's evening i had a long chat with my friends talked about the Bible and made plans to words reading each chapter of Proverbs every single day of the month .

Today i would say that i was able to mediate very early this morning, did my talent nation attendance on discord. I was able to like code and do some programming today, really practice on python for AI how to set up a virtual environment, how to set up a workspace on vs code and those who preparing for more upcoming milestones.

So I would say I was able to watch anime today like classroom of elite learnt how not to be manipulated. Also read um Project Phoenix which um talks about IT and devops and then learnt about how security management work and ssn works. Today me, Excel and Victor played an interesting car game today, funny enough we were all winning I was winning. At the end Excel didn't like the game again and left and maybe he likely came back but what I learned is that winning really feels good I guess.

The only thing I practically do today was I went to church praise God and have a meeting with my friends

A short day I would say. I was able to visit my cousin and my family members today who are living in Abuja. Also got to make my hair in saloon. Also i was able to attend home cell, a program under living Faith church for praising God and praying. The cell today was actually interesting because I've not done it, for the past 6 months now.

I would say I was able to go to fidelity bank and regularize the issue and upgraded it to tier 3 and get an ATM card. Before as all this me, Victor Oko, Samson Oko, Excel Meyanga and Victor Daniel were faced with several issues that would lead to us giving up but never the less we didn't give up, we keep pushing and we achieved the goal for that day. One thing I would say is that I learnt that patience and persistence can make achieve anything

Today I embarked on a journey from Benue to Abuja with Victor Oko and Samson Oko. It was actually interesting meeting old friends and going home after 6 months.

So what are we said I did today what time I was able to do programming basics to understand how we computer work how to communicate to you computer precisely because it is not a human so you can give it a vague instruction so you have to give it a very detailed precise instruction I learned about the States and it is a particular situation or condition for a computer to respond in giving circumstance. Okay so you like today I was in the class and i got this idea because we have to be doing attendance online on discord and I cannot always be online because I'm traveling like tomorrow so I'm trying to build this kind of bot that it will represent me the name of the bot is called discord a way bot.

So basically i would say my day was actually really great I was able to like work on revjou PWA functions so that users will be able to download it as an app on their phone and this actually really wonderful to have this like an app and also go to here so many stories about Otukpo.

Actually today has really been a great day and I what I did today was that I play FIFA with David, Wordy and Xavier. It was actually an interesting game that we played because he has been so long I played the game and a recently learn2earn locked down in Otukpo campus. They moved our activities virtually now I'm going to be doing the program online. The other thing I guess that I did was that I was able to have conversation with my fellows collaborate and have nice discussions here. I guess I was really thinking about leaving the campus and going to Abuja where my house is and continue the program but like I have a current case which I'm going to have to solve tomorrow by the grace of God. I also got to watch football with my fellows today the match between Spain and Argentina in the lounge and at the back of my mind I was already supporting Spain to win the match because Argentina are racist so the better f*** off even if Messi is my goat 🐐. I was unable to access the cluster where I normally do my coding, so I was unable to code today so I just made a commit in my README.md because I never miss a day pushing.

i would love to say that today i was able to increase my typing speed from 28 wpm to 35 wpm now as my average and it was all done with the typingclub.com after learning how to type from typing.com and it's really lovely to type without looking at the keyboard. I'm really happy for solving my problem's and the problem's people face that is having a journaling and reflecting habit with this platform refjou.
