Happy Halloween, everyone!

Today's a special occasion, so I didn't code that much. I only did like 2-3 hours of productive work to respect the challenge, then the rest was pretty chill. Glad to finally have a chance to unwind from constant daily routine!

Halloween? Not for me.

We don't really do trick or treat where I live, and I'm not too interested in going out to celebrate. Instead, I just chilled and watched anime, gaming streams, and played FF14. I'm such a geek, I know. It's what makes me happy so I don't really feel pressured to go to horror houses or put on costumes.

That said, I do hope that everyone had a fun Halloween!

Yesterday

Like I usually do every week. I did my Weekly Sprint Review and Retrospective, in which I went over what I've managed to do well, what my shortcomings were, and what I could do better in the future.

Today

Just as like every new week, I planned out what I should be doing and established my new Sprint Goals. My focus for this week will be Next.js as I would like to build my company's website soon. I will still be studying Scrum and continue writing my guides!

Weekly Sprint Goals

• learn and review Next.js.
• lay out my plans for my company's website.
• write user stories for my website, so I can plan ahead and prioritize what features I will really need right away and what might be desirable in the future.
• finish my beginner Scrum guide.
• finish reading Scrum and XP from the Trenches.
• continue studying for Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) certification.
• finish my guides about Scrum.
• continue networking, but allocate less time to this (coding is more important).

Trick or treat! Have fun, everyone!

My Super Secret Scheme

Some of you already know what I'm planning in secret... It will be interesting and hilarious once we see what happens. I can't wait for the reaction of "that man."
