Time to Bank Visit

I had plan to stay productive this day. No particular plan for what I wanted to build or learn yet in the morning. But first thing in the morning after dropped off my wife to office, I went straight to bank because I got troubled for enabling their mobile application after changed my phone. This is become little bit urgent since my emergency fund is in that bank.

Turned out it was because my identity number registered in the bank already outdated, that’s why when I tried to input my identity number always got invalid error. 15 minutes later it sorted out and I was able to access the app again.

Drive straight back to home.

Visiting Job Application, Again

Really becoming daily routine as unemployed person, eh?

Yesterday I followed up to a recruiter the rejection reason, no replied yet. Already talked to friend who works there, he was little bit surprised about the rejection. Although I didn’t have a clue about the reason, I just assumed I failed because in first assessment I said NO if I willing to relocate. It because my friend said there are several peoples are working remotely in this town for the company so I guess it was ok to said no. But again it was just assumption, let’s skip it for now and wait for the official response (I doubt it).

Also I sent a reply to one of my job application which been responded the night before. Again, stated that it is WFO policy and asked if I willing to relocate. I said no and also gave them a reason why I choose remote working without loosing productivity. Very understandable for me if they choose to reject me on this one. I wonder why I applied to this particular vacancy knowing it’s not remote position hahaha.

Just got idea if I should write some like remote manifesto for my self where I explained why I prefer remote working

There are update for several my applications either my application already viewed or in CV review process. Let’s wait for several days.

Next, I checked on Upwork proposal. Seems already hired a person to do the job. Move on.

Working on Short URL Project

I have a fun project to build some kind of short URL application like bit.ly or other similar application. Built using Go and it’s still very raw, only covered index application and redirection function, no database integration yet. So I planned to integrate with PostgreSQL and DB migration tool today.

BTW, here’s the repository https://github.com/didikz/goshu

After prepared the database, I decided to use Golang Migrate as DB migration tool. Oh boy, spent couple hours to just make it usable and also integrated with PostgreSQL.

By afternoon I created the migration scripts successfully, query the data using sqlx, and redirecting the slug into the original URL. Will create a blog post for DB migration later.
