2023-04-09 "Because my past helped me" [長年日記]

For the past week or so, I have been working on a means of obtaining real-time information related to Yokohama City Transportation Bureau buses and a viewer that uses this information.

Yesterday in one day, I replaced the code of the infrastructure, uploaded it to AWS, TLS support, and finally succeeded in making it a server.

But even I was surprised, as I did not expect this to be completed in just one day(In most cases, the estimated cost will be 3 to 10 times the estimated cost until completion).

How was this miracle possible?

"Because my past helped me"

-----

I, in May 2020, replaced my website platform with WordPress.

And there I have been writing notes all over the place, ignoring genres, and publishing them in an uncontrolled manner -- as I'm sure you are well aware.

Of course, the notes are 'only for me to know', and all the prerequisites, construction environment, and directories to be specified are left undocumented.

I honestly think, 'If someone else other than me reads it, they won't understand it at all.

But only I, who have been writing, 'get it'.

This is pretty important.

-----

If it is a memo like this, it doesn't needs to be published on a blog.

However, "blogging" prevents 'misplacing'.

When I centralize my notes in WordPress, no matter where I am (office, parents' house, university, etc.), I can find my past notes with a single keyword shot.

And WordPress is a great way to display code nicely and paste information. It is also easy to add later.

Once I get used to this, making memos is just plain stupid.

-----

Of course, some of the information concerns my personal life, but I keep such information private.

WordPress, however, is not so trustworthy with this "private" feature.

So, today I found a serious security issue and was in a big hurry to deal with it (it took 4 hours of my day. It has not been completed yet).

-----

When I don't know something, I search on my blog rather than Google.

At a fairly high rate, my blog answers my questions.

I myself am relatively unconcerned about "information dissemination" and use blogs from the perspective of "getting help from the past me.

I recommend WordPress as a tool for this purpose.

Well, I only know sticky html and Wordpress as blogging platforms, so I have no way to compare them.
