  • Made start of some more advanced topics of PostgreQL and started to learn about plpgsql (Postgres’ extension of SQL to make it much more advanced language). Made a simple calculator function.
  • Went on to install the plv8 postgresql extension and rewrote the calc in JavaScript, within PostgreSQL. 🤯. Then spotted that there is now also a way to run WASM binaries in postgres too. PostgreSQL land is wild!
  • Read a few pages of Deep Work. Emails are the bane of deep work. It cost companies literally millions of pounds of wasted productivity.
