Last Week's Win 🏆
Finally understood RESP protocol in Redis which is really important if you are planning on creating your own version of Redis.
Today's Survival Strategy
The One Thing Rule: Do ONE thing today. That's it. Not your entire backlog, not that refactor you've been thinking about for 3 weeks. Just one thing.
Mine? Finally writing tests for that function I copy-pasted from StackOverflow 6 months ago. (We've all been there, right? ...right?)
Monday Brain vs Weekend Brain
Weekend Me: Remembers every plot twist from 3 different Netflix shows
Monday Me: Forgets the variable name I used literally 5 minutes ago
Pro tip: Leave breadcrumbs for Monday You. End Friday with a quick note about what you're working on. Future You will thank Past You (trust me, I'm basically pen pals with my past and future selves at this point).
Quick Reality Check
- Coffee/tea/energy drink? ☕
- Weekend commits pushed? 🔄
- Expectations set to "survival mode"? ✅
Perfect. You're ready.
Monday Mantra: "I just need to not break prod today. Everything else is bonus points."
What's YOUR Monday survival tactic? Drop it in the comments - misery loves company, but so does solidarity!
Tomorrow: Tech Tip Tuesday (spoiler: it's about that one command that'll improve your workflow)
