Psalm 126: those who sow in tears will reap in joy

bought tables from a harvard cs student building a meal planning app: intent. tried it and it seems well built, lots of onboarding questions to personalize it for you.

thoughts from studying

Is comprehension speed innate or trained. can i train myself to absorb and understand faster? My brain seems to be slow. like i know i can be faster, or I have the memory of being faster, and i can feel something blocking me but i can't remove it. it's there, somewhere, lingering.

I wish i could sync apple notes with my blog so I don’t have to transfer these into vscode and commit and push.
