• I want to start live streaming as a way of learning and building in public, and while looking up videos about live streaming, I learned a new trick. I tweeted about it and it got a bunch of likes and retweets from random people.

• I experimented with lighting and camera angles for my live streaming setup, but didn’t find anything I liked. I think I was overthinking it. Since most of the livestream will be me sharing my screen, the quality of my face and background is not that important.

• Met with a client for whom I’m maintaining a Rails app. The app is using an old version of Postgres that Heroku will stop supporting soon. In order to migrate to a newer version, I need to be able to provision a new DB, which requires a credit card. But because I’m not the “owner” of the app on Heroku, I can’t do that. The owner is not tech-savvy, and it doesn’t make sense to transfer the ownership to me. The solution: teams! Heroku lets you create a team of up to 5 people for free. Once the team is created, they can invite me to the team, and transfer the app over to the team.
