It’s my last day on my current project and I am in fact spending most of my time preparing for the next one. The new project utilizes technologies that I’ve never worked with (Docker and Kubernetes) so I’m getting familiar with them at least in theory.

I find video tutorials difficult. I get bored and lose focus. (I also never watch Youtube videos for fun, or TV series – I only do that as a mostly social activity together with Eric or the entire family.)

The biggest problem with video lectures and all other videos is that they happen at someone else’s pace. When I read, I decide how fast I go. I read fast most of the time, and slow down to re-read bits that are important or interesting.

Luckily this platform had controls for playback speed so I could do the same here. I started out at 1.25x speed, quickly moved on to 1.5 and then settled at 1.75. The speedy delivery, combined with knitting to keep my hands busy, got me through the day quite productively.
