Sleep Schedule
Posted on June 29, 2013
I'm really bad at sleep. There are so many more things I'd rather be doing. There was the one Bond villain that only had to sleep for 15 minutes a day or something. I want that.
I generally go to bed around 2am or 3am. Since I work from home, I wake up around 8:30 and starting in bed right away. I spend an enormous amount of time working in bed instead of at my desk. On most days, I don't get out of bed until 11 or 12. It's pretty great.
After my Seesaw work is doing around 6:30ish, I hang out with family and such. Around 10 or 11 I'll start working on whatever side project I feel like that evening. Lately, it's been Roon.
I know I can't keep this up forever. Occasionally, I'll just go to bed at 11 to catch up on sleep. I know this is bad and all, but I get so motivated at night to work on stuff, I just get my laptop out and start hacking away.
Once I move back to San Francisco and get married, I'm sure I'll switch to a more normal schedule. In my free time, there is nothing I'd rather do than spend time with family and make stuff, so that's what I do.
What's important to you? Spend your time on that.
Making Roon Faster
Posted on June 24, 2013
Last night, I deployed some changes to Roon that made things a lot faster. Drew told me I should write about it, so here we are. I did three things:
Our assets were taking awhile to load because S3 is a tad slow. We use the fantastic asset_sync to serve assets off of S3 instead of Heroku. This is a big performance (and cost) win by itself since Heroku is expensive and is better suited serving dynamic requests.
The main problem here is webfonts. Users can't see any text on our pages until the font loads for the first time. This is kind of a big deal for a blogging app. Even worse, due to iOS security, if you hit Roon in Tweetbot (or any other app using UIWebView), it will have to download it since it doesn't share the system HTTP cache for security reasons. All of this made Roon feel super slow—especially on mobile.
