Applied for my first freelance gig.
Five hours of “requirement definition” later — still nothing decided.
Client confused. Me confused.
Maybe that was the requirement.

It’s been a while since I last built something for myself.
Now I’m back, armed with Tailwind and too much coffee.

Setup diary: integrating Stripe Connect Express
Hour 1 — test-mode KYC?!
Hour 3 — UI labyrinth
Hour 6 — error parade
Day 2 — doc deep dive
Day 3 — shipped! 🎉
Lesson: keep going. Also, I’m wiped out.

Seven months ago I couldn't parse anything.
Touch one file—error storm. I kept going.
Today I got my first client reply for a Stripe Connect build.
Luck? Sure. But also showing up daily.
Not a finish line—just proof I'm closer.

Firebase was great for prototyping… until I spent 3 days fighting Firestore rules.
Not only did Firebase hit its limits — I hit mine too. 🥲
Switching to Next.js + Node.js + SQL felt like breathing fresh air.

Just finished practicing the fundamentals of CRUD operations with Node.js + PostgreSQL.
Learning how to handle Create, Read, Update, and Delete is the first step toward real-world backend work.

3 hours gone just to register on a freelance site.
I thought I was a dev, but apparently I’m a professional form-filler now. 😂
Still… building apps costs money, so here we are. 💸
Does anyone else feel this pain?

Tried signing up for freelance platforms…
- Same info again and again
- Clunky forms
- Endless steps
First impression: energy drain 😅
So I just quietly closed the tab.

Sept 23 — Shūbun (Autumnal Equinox).
Day and night are equal, balance of light and dark. 🌅🌕
In Japan it’s a day to honor ancestors—not religion but gratitude.
Day is human, night sacred. When equal, the two meet.
My Waka app: capture this spirit in design.

The real challenge in building my Waka app lies in strengthening the UI.
At the end of the day, it’s all about design. I’m still learning, but my goal is to translate the beauty of Japanese culture into modern UI.
How much atmosphere can I capture in a single Waka card?

Hakuro (White Dew, Sept 7–22) is expressed with:
・transparent colors
・dew drops as motifs
・silence through empty space
It’s simple in words, but tough to bring into UI.

Man, this sucks…
I can’t focus, I can’t code.
I kept checking my work over and over, losing my sanity.
And the culprit was—
“The Neighbor’s Drill Construction.”
Come on, seriously?
