Dear Diary,

Today is Tuesday, July 9, 2024. The weather is sunny.

As usual, I took the subway and then transferred to a shuttle bus to get to the company. I walked through the company lobby into the cafeteria and had a pancake for breakfast today.

After finishing my breakfast and arriving at my workstation, I started working. Yesterday, I deployed one of my microservices using the canary deployment method. When I checked the logs from the past day and found no abnormal errors, I pushed the canary deployment traffic to 50%. If there are no anomalies, it can be pushed to 100% by the afternoon.

Yesterday, the IT engineer informed me that I needed to replace my computer. After lunch today, I went to their office. However, it was lunchtime and no one was there, so I had to go back in the afternoon. When work wasn't busy in the afternoon, I got my new computer, an M2 MacBook Air.

In the afternoon, two abandoned but unreleased clusters were discovered during work. After confirming with SRE and relevant personnel that they are no longer in use, I asked SRE to follow the recycling process to recycle the cluster. This can save the company at least tens of thousands of RMB per month.

Today was also a day without meetings, so I could get off work on time. When I arrived home, I had dinner and started learning English. I used EnjoyApp to convert yesterday's diary into audio for shadowing practice. I found this to be a very good way to train my speaking skills. Then, I started writing today's diary. And now it's finished.

Goodnight, Diary. Until tomorrow.

Best, Jasper Van
