 Woke up at 5, then tried to sleep till 6, but I couldn’t. I had some dreams, but boring as hell – I woke up, walked in the room, open the drawer. What’s the hell. Can I see interesting dreams? By 6 it is already bright outside. Slow breakfast, egg salad on toast, coffee, Omega-3, then I thought I’d bike to work. 

The park was pretty empty despite the sunny morning and comfy temperatures in the 50sº. It was mostly old people who biked or exercised in the Upper West Side, not many commuters. It was about 8. Then, by midtown, yuppies started coming out walking their dogs. Girls in bras and shirtless guys were jogging on the trail. The headwind was making pedaling harder. It took me 50 minutes and more effort to get to the office.

At work, I tried to make Lambda run locally in AWS SAM. That worked, but without DynamoDB. With DynamoDB it died from OOM killer without reporting anything. I didn’t figure out why. Instead, I wrote a local harness and tested it this way. Nothing interesting.

Learned about JWT. It is a cool idea: instead of a session token and storing user variables on the server, it signs those variables by a private then clients can decode using a public key. 

Then biked back home by 6. It was sporadically raining, but I had a portable parka jacket with me; still, I worried that it would start raining heavily. 

We ate pizza for dinner from an Italian owner who spoke Spanish to his employees. Hamilton Heights – everyone speaks a bit of Spanish here.
