Welcome to Oceanheart Notebook

This is my space for learning in public — a place where I document my journey through code, ideas, and the fascinating intersection of psychology and technology.

What You'll Find Here

• Technical explorations in Go, HTMX, and modern web development
• Cognitive skill development tracked through special tags like cognitive-skill:*
• Bias awareness with bias:* tags to document psychological pitfalls
• Learning notes that capture insights as they happen

The Psychology Twist

What makes this different is the integration of cognitive psychology into the content system. Posts are tagged with:

• cognitive-skill:abstraction - Building mental models
• cognitive-skill:analysis - Breaking down complex problems
• bias:confirmation - When I catch myself cherry-picking evidence
• bias:dunning-kruger - Overconfidence in early learning phases

These special tags render as colored ribbons, making it easy to track patterns in thinking and learning.

Technical Notes

This blog is built with:

 1// Simple, fast, and focused
 2func main() {
 3    store := sqlite.MustOpen("./notebook.db")
 4    loader := content.NewLoader("./content")
 5    
 6    // Load and cache all posts
 7    posts := loader.LoadAll()
 8    store.UpsertPosts(posts)
 9    
10    // Serve with HTMX enhancement
11    http.HandleFunc("/", homeHandler(store))
12    http.ListenAndServe(":8003", nil)
13}

The entire system is designed around simplicity and speed:

• Single binary deployment
• SQLite for storage and caching
• HTMX for progressive enhancement
• Goldmark + Chroma for beautiful code highlighting

Learning in Public

The goal is transparency in the learning process — documenting not just what I discover, but how I discover it, what biases I encounter, and which cognitive skills I'm developing.

Welcome to the journey!
