Note: the servers are oversized for the load we’re currently seeing. The reason for that is that we tried to solve a production issue by increasing the server specs. It didn’t solve the problem, and now we can’t down-size the servers without re-provisioning them ️.

Does anyone know the minimal provisions they could potentially use in this case?

Yes, currently focusing on one component. Once this is done, I will reimplement the other components.

Weird - there have been both good and bad things for my mental health. For example working from home has been great and bad at the same time.
- Great because I have more time to myself, am able to relax faster, I have more time to work on my side project or play video games.
- Bad because my routine is really out of wack now. My sleeping patterns are non-existent at times. I feel extremely tired most of the time.

> Small steps are key
I have been working on NearBeach for nearly 4 years. I have always done it in small steps.
- Implement projects functionality
- Implement customer/organisation functionality
- Implement tasks
- etc.
I find this helps me keep myself motivated. That and I couple it with a set goal - a very achievable goal.
Currently NearBeach is a minimal viable product currently going through a UI/UX and backend refactoring, with the goal of improving UI/UX and backend readability of the code.

I heavily use this - it has made my work flow so much better as I can separate work/personal/NearBeach etc.

Thank you

I throw out stuff because it does not either make sense or flow for me. Or I feel it is not the best way to start a paragraph/essay

Most likely between 100 to 200 bookmarks. The majority of these bookmarks are sorted and placed in folders. It is just useful links for me - I do revisit them

I am writing my own project management system - currently working hard to bring it out of alpha into beta over the next week. It is called NearBeach
Demo - https://demo.nearbeach.org Site - https://nearbeach.org
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to update the demo site in the next few days with a more stable version
I went through a 3 month stink last year where I was without a job. The main reason why I stayed sane was due to;
1. I worked on my side project https://github.com/robotichead/NearBeach. 2. I improved/studied my knowledge
From working on my side project I was able to show a lot of companies the project. This actually gave a foot in the door and an eventual job. I am not saying start your own project, however if you see a project online that you want to jump in and contribute I would highly recommend. You can then use this experience for your CV's STAR.
As for improving my knowledge, this is not just programming. There are many things you can improve on that can help, for example I noticed a lot of companies were using AWS or Azure. So I spent my time learning AWS - which was a second pillar for me getting my current job.
Those are the two main things that kept me sane during those 3 months. Good luck at getting a job - it is horrible being knocked back :(
