Cycle 3, stage 4, day 9:
Switching from stage 3 to stage 4 did change a lot my mental state. During stage 3, I had the feeling to be depressed. I feel much better now. I feel full of energy, enthusiasm. I did experience a very productive stretch in the last few days... I really wonder what are the themes that are worked during stage 3 that may make me react that way...
The release of openssl v3 did break my app in severe ways but fixing it by porting my app has been very stimulating and fun... I was even not aware of the technology but one major feature introduced by openssl3 is the support of kTLS (Kernel TLS)... I did adapt my program to support kTLS... This did make me expand my knowledge of openssl and TLS to the point where I must have improved my SSL settings to improve my app communication performance...
Performance was not on the radar neither but I was under the impression that I did reach the limit of what was possible to achieve and in the last 7 days, I did open a book that I did purchase last summer but I did not bother to check until now and I have been blown away by what I did discover into the book. I have been introduced to branchless programming and this has opened a whole new horizon of opportunites. I did spend a lot of time in refactoring my code with the new knowledge that I have acquired...
I am going to put in production those new improvements soon. I am not expecting a game changer event from this alone but I get the occasional missed trade by not being fast enough... Hopefully those new changes will improve the situation in that regard...
