Feelings
I maintain a diary of my feelings using Daylio which I publish to this site daily. I wrote a bit about it on my blog, if you are interested in how and why.

- Offer number 4 is a good one. Gonna make the decision tomorrow really hard depending on where we can get to.
- Last day of interviewing tomorrow and it looks like a fun pair programming exercise that is very practical using Storybook.
- Got to do a video call with the boys, nice to see everyone!

- Had 2 on sites today + a final behavioral. I think both went fantastic, I hope they think the same. Really hope that they can get all their ducks in a row so that I can finish my search on Friday!
- Tomorrow, it seems that I have another 3 final round interviews. Just need this to be over.
- Played around with Remix a little bit. Got it working with sql.js & SQLite, pretty cool little framework, gonna play around with it more tomorrow.

- Offer number 3 is in the books. Shame I can only take one, but thems the rules.
- Had an on site go just okay today. I keep getting tripped up during the manager rounds. I just trip over my words and stop making sense. It’s very much unlike how I was in work. I’m also getting tired of interviewers not “yes, and”ing my questions during code tests. Your problem isn’t so special we can’t work like teammates, I thought we were pairing, dang.
- Just felt really depressed and exhausted after todays interviews. Nothing bad happened in them (well, except for the company that states their core value is “chaos”), just can’t take talking about myself and asking the same questions every time.

- Stripe on site went swimmingly, hopefully good things come from it.
- Offer number 2 is in the books. It’s a very strong one that is at the higher range of my base salary, team is very friendly and the business is solid. Lot’s to think about there.
- Finished the last season of Search Party, it really took a turn for the ending. I respect how varied each season was. I knew we were getting a cult season but I wasn’t expecting a hardcore zombie apocalypse ending.

- Absolutely murdered the 4 code interviews I had today. Seems like all of them are going to move forward to the next steps. Furthermore, I dig all the companies and it’ll probably be a hard decision to make.
- Today had 6.5 hours of active coding or interviewing. That’s a lot, if I had that level o of meetings + coding in my real job, it would be a nightmarish day, but I guess because I’m trying to secure employment, that makes it okay? I dunno, this stuff is wild.
- Started writing a blog post about crypto, should have that done this week.

- Job search was slightly humbling today in that a company passed. I’ve also overbooked myself for today AND tomorrow. This job search needs to finish soon because it is exhausting!
- I’m dreading the 4 code tests I need to do tomorrow.
- On the plus side, I’m the top candidate in another company’s pipeline, so let’s see what happens there.
- Made the Roberto soup, which is basically Italian chili. Turned out great, we really enjoyed it.

- I’m getting to the end of my rope interview. Specifically starting processes. I think I’m mentally okay to do code challenges, but I’m tired of recruiter calls and initial screens. The good thing is that I think I’m at a place process wise that I can stop having those calls this week.
- Had a code test that I thought I would kill go terribly. Had a code test for another company that I feared would kill me end up being very easy. Yay, it’s nice to be humbled sometimes.
- Caught up with someone from the Boro.js community about a good job working in design systems at a large company. It sounds like a fun challenge, I just need to fit their code test in Wednesday morning.
