Planning Principles
- Job search is priority - Taylor is actively job hunting (since March 2025)
- Learning supports job search - Jira DC on AWS for interview prep
- Side projects are secondary - Unless they support job search (CareerBrain)
- Balance is important - Personal life, health, social shouldn't be neglected
Current Focus Areas
Job Search (Primary)
- Interview prep (SAS went well 2026-01-11)
- AWS + Jira DC technical depth
- CareerBrain for tracking applications
Learning (Supports Job Search)
- Queue: EFS, ASG, blue/green deployment, Secrets Manager rotation
- Spaced repetition reviews
Side Projects (When Time Permits)
- Active: Coordinatr, ollama-agent-manager, leafspec, 49th-floor
- On hold: YourBench (until job secured)
