Decided to frak everything today and just code on F&B Tools. No one's at work anyway because it's two days to Christmas, so no one's checking on me.
Figured out some Jekyll `{% if %}` statements to display or not display the logo and filters all by myself. Made me so happy! This sense of accomplishment reminds me of The Feeling of Power short story by Isaac Asimov (here's the tl;dr). I learnt about it in high school and think about this story all the time. Someday I'm going to make my own archive of it because I worry about linkrot.
Excited to do my firstly weekly review this weekend. I love having this journal by my side every day now. Worth its price! Can't wait to meet me in Week 13.
I have a degree in Marketing Management from University of Otago, New Zealand. I ran a successful restaurant for 13 years in Singapore, a brutally competitive market for F&B. I also ran a bakery for 7 of those years. I sold both businesses for 6 figures in 2019.
Then I taught myself to code, and have been working in software since. In 2021, I was hired as General Manager for a restaurant software startup, where I helped market and grow the app to $400k/year revenue.
On the side, I started building my own small projects, aimed at near-passive income. So began a 10,000-hour-long experiment to see if I can make $10k/month by "f*cking around and finding out". This blog is a daily record of the real hours spent & dollars earned.
