Coding Life

My kids sometimes share with me what are their precious moments.? A leaf they had in their pocket.? A rock that looks like many others.? A scribbling.? Even though those moments are small and trivial they present it proudly.? For them, it is a new and amazing thing.? It is in that spirit that I present my logs.

I recently started a company, Groe Solutions (soon to be Groe Solutions), that has me looking at life through the lense of coding.? I decided to keep logs.? In coding logs refer to the records of events that happen during the execution of a software application.? Like a chapter it implies a story.? But I like the word logs because it makes me think of going out to the forest and chopping down a tree.? Putting in the work to break it down to manageable pieces and then hauling it back.? It implies burden and responsibility but the promise to be and have something better.? So I thought what are the logs that I want captured during execution of me?? What are the logs I can carry?? How can I carry more?? How do I want to code my life?

We all know how life starts and ultimately ends.? To answer the questions I have, I thought that the end of the day would be a good place to start.? What does an end of day function look like?? I’d probably group together functions and commands like fitness routine, hygiene routine, review goals for the day, read, check logs, Stay Humble, and sleep.? Most of those are straight forward, but you might be wondering, what is Stay Humble?? I would say it could be praying, talking over your day with someone, or writing.? It would include a reminder to stay hungry, ask for more logs, and stay humble.? I’d ask for more logs because it implies more productivity, expansion, and the propagation of life.? Of course this means more effort is required.? So, we need to figure out what are the logs that best refuel or improve our energy expenditures?? At an individual level this could look like nutrition, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.? At a state level it may look like making decisions on infrastructure and energy development.?

My little life coding exercise made me think if life can be coded and designed, then what is holding us back from coding life in a way that allows every individual to reach their fullest potential?? I know that the problems that need solving to realize everyone’s potential are incredibly vast, but the difficulty seems to be in us working together.? ?

So I’ve decided to try in my own way to solve this problem.? Groe Solutions is a going to be a part of that process.? While I’m building I’m ?going to push out blogs to try and amplify my signal.? I’m searching for the people who agree that an individual needs to put in the work and effort to keep moving forward and must have the resolve to get back up after a failure.? ?People who believe in reaching down to help lift those that have fallen.? People who are willing to work together to create the systems or system of systems we need to move us forward.?
