Happy New Year to everyone. It’s time to write my report.

Last week:

Digital drawing 🖥️🖌️ 35 hours
- I spent almost all of my free time during the Christmas holidays finishing a large drawing.
Foreign language 🇩🇪🦉 3 hours
Coding PngCrushBatch 🖥️🖼️ 3 hours • https://github.com/hinst/PngCrushBatch
- I noticed that the PngCrush program works incorrectly in some very rare cases: about 3 images out of 10k files are compressed poorly. Therefore, I replaced the tool with OptiPng. It seems to work better. I haven’t noticed any poorly compressed files since.
- SQLite: Here I made it so that it doesn’t open and close the database every time, but keeps it open constantly. Performance has improved. I don’t know if I need to close the database every time to guarantee data integrity. There is very little documentation for the Deno-SQLite module.

2D game 🎮 123 hours
- I dropped it because it’s difficult; the project turned out to be big, and I am just one small person 🥺
Drawing 🖌️ 91 hours
- Completed two large drawings, one large painting, and several AI hybrids.
LeetCode 🖥️ 85 hours
- Completed 68 problems.
Video recording 📺 44 hours
- My best video got 200 views on YouTube.
Node.js grind 🟨 23 hours
- This was preparation for a Node.js developer interview in the summer. I didn’t manage to get the job.
Foreign language 🇩🇪 many hours
- I only started logging my hours in Clockify in December. I haven’t decided yet if there is any point in using the Clockify timer here.
Kubernetes ☸️ 19 hours + SmartProgress archiver 📁 12 hours • https://orangepizero2w.tail46746a.ts.net/smartProg…
- It was interesting to study Kubernetes in practice; but I feel like I’m already forgetting a lot 😴

Next year, I’ll accumulate even more hours 💹

I need to manage to write all the programs and draw all the pictures 🥵
