Tonight built most of reset password functionality. Pretty good. 80% done. Debugging and configuration to go.

Not too shabby. Skipped my workout but I feel like my site is getting in shape.

Everyday you have a choice: build or don't.

Tonight I have a good friend who's in town.

I could go out and have fun but I want to build and have fun.

Watching your dreams come true is fun.

Let's all do that.

So I had a spot instance that I Amazon reclaimed so I had to rebuild some jobs running on it.

Used the opportunity to save on Cloudwatch costs.

Always use infrastructure recalls to look at process improvements and cost efficiencies.

I haven't done as much as I wanted the past few days.

But everyday I do SOMETHING. Just do SOMETHING.

As Dr. King said: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

When I tell people about my paulineslist.org people ask about my 'real job'.

I always think 'what about my real security?' b/c unless you have valuable stock options or work for the gov't what security do you have besides the things you own?

People sometimes ask me how I became a software developer.

I didn't start that way though I took some classes in HS.

Rather mine was the path of a blue collar kid trying to make his way in the world.

Good morning Webslingers.

I know I want to have a beer. But sling some web first.

Builders like to build. But maintaining isn't nearly as sexy.

There's no #maintaininpublic because it's not sexy. The glory goes to the architect, not the handyman.

But as my product grows I have to balance both. Because both are important.

Good morning Builders.

It's Thursday. Thursday's always the best time to build. The second best time: any other day that ends in 'y'.

So I've been fighting with an encryption protocol for a while.

In order to solve it I had to install #docker, AWS Linux in a container, and zip the encryption using a bash script with docker commands.

Good morning Doers.

So Election Day is over. People are inevitably disappointed one way or the other.

The good thing about being a builder is your future is still in your hands.
