Stage 3, day 26:
I am done with new feature #1. I have written over 1000 lines of code in the last 3-4 days for it.
Completions is really something that is boosting my energy level.
With this newly found energy, I might be able to complete the remaining tasks and upgrade the server software tonight or at least no later than tomorrow...
I think that I got a luck manifestation in the last 2 weeks.
I must have said numerous times in my journal that my highest priority is to reduce my system latency...
while browsing a linux news website, I have stumbled into a news reporting patches submitted for the kernel 5.17 by a Google engineer that were optimizing the TCP stack performance by about 20%.
Normally, 5.17 is not scheduled for release before at least end of February 2022... But since, I am compiling the kernel of my server hosting my trading system, I can fetch those specific patches and backport them to the latest 5.15 kernel that I am using so that I can enjoy the performance enhancement now instead of having access to them only in many months from now...
The luck is to have become aware of their existence. Those patches could have easily went unnoticed...
In itself, this might be luck...
