A month in and I’m still at it 🤔 I had over-engineered this thing to hell.

Started refactoring Filtru's Web API this month ahead of adding new features.

I feel like a seasoned developer as the first thing I did was to write full integration tests to be sure nothing went unnoticed.

This meant making the API run off SQLite for the database, and tests hitting the endpoints do mutate the database as opposed to using in-memory mock service before.

New machine is set up, time to sell off the other ones ✌️

I’m really looking forward to stress testing this M2 Max processor with my work.

God I love a good Makefile 😍

It was fun learning last night on how back-propagation works. Dusting off those A-levels Maths skills and applying them to a good use 👀

As I’m off on holiday next week I might get into how Transformers work next 🤖
