over hump day already?

 four and a half months in israel, and i'm still not used to weeks beginning on sunday. i just registered that i have two days left on this one. next week: "ninja" (on-call). the week after: a staycation week for the summer holidays. this means i have to deliver the thing i thought i'd be able to deliver last week - it's a bit of a bummer that it's not ready yet, but the code quality and testing have both improved dramatically and i've learned a lot.

also, github copilot is AMAZING. it doesn't always help, and it doesn't do all the work, but my gods it saves lots of time on the repetitive coding and on the documentation hunting.

...

i felt terrible - thoroughly exhausted to the point where i felt perpetually on the verge of collapse - from friday until monday. i'm still feeling tired, but since yesterday i've been feeling actually functional.

that's physically.

psychologically i'm feeling relaxed and safe and confident for the first time in so long i can't remember. while i still have plenty to do vis-a-vis writing up and publicizing our stories, we're finally on the other side and it's such an enormous relief that i cannot describe it in words.
