## 2026-01-09 () - Nand2Tetris Unit 1

**Task:** Finalize the last logic gate implementations for project 1.
**Blocker:** They were hard to understand at first. The logic is not quite there for me. Hope that it later will make more sense.
**Discovery:** A little bit of a realization of how the logic gates work together. Still a bit fuzzy. dMux4Way and all that.
**Lesson:** HDL. Trial and error.
**Fix:** I got it at last, and the the dMux8Way was just copy paste from dMux4Way with some adjustments.
**Tomorrow:** Probably read up on Unit 1 again. Otherwise start Unit 2.
**Time Spent:** 90m

## 2026-01-08 () - Nand2Tetris Unit 1

**Task:** Implementation of the HDL logic gates.
**Blocker:** The logic behind it. The coding mindset. Need to change the mindset a bit to be more systems hardwiring. It's okay. It's a process.
**Discovery:** Learned about a web tool that helps build the logic implementation. It clicked a little bit with the gates and creating valves instead of doing if statements in my head.
**Lesson:** Building the logic gates. It's kind of cool.
**Fix:** Just playing around with it. Visualizing it. Drawing the diagrams before trying to code it.
**Tomorrow:** Finish the last Logic Gates.
**Time Spent:** 90m

## 2026-01-07 () - Nand2Tetris Unit 1

**Task:** Getting started with the project 1 implementation.
**Blocker:** Struggling a little bit with HDL and getting started.
**Discovery:** That the first building blocks of gates are used on top of each other. Not, And and Or gates all build on top of each other.
**Lesson:** HDL scriping/coding. Built And, Or and Xor gates. Wrote them i guess. Had a hard time understanding and planning the implementations. Had to look some of them up on Wiki. Not the HDL solution. Only the diagram.
**Fix:** Researching the HDL language.
**Tomorrow:** Continue with the Project 1 implementation. The next gates.
**Time Spent:** 90m

## 2026-01-06 () - Nand2Tetris Unit 1

**Task:** Basically just reading and understanding the first unit of Nand2Tetris.
**Blocker:** Understanding the logic gates and how they work together. Did not block too much. Read some sections twice.
**Discovery:** Logic gates and how they can be combined to make more complex components. HDL.
**Lesson:** Same as above. Reading through the material helped a lot.
**Fix:** Nothing.
**Tomorrow:** Starting on the first project of Unit 1. Implementation section of the first project.
**Time Spent:** 90m.

## 2026-01-05 () - Nand2Tetris Start

**Task:** Getting started with Nand2Tetris.
**Blocker:** Not really anything.
**Discovery:** Read about what the project really entails.  
**Lesson:** Not much yet. Played around with their online IDE.
**Fix:**
**Tomorrow:** Starting Chapter 1.
**Time Spent:** 90m.

## 2025-12-18 () - Svelte Mostly

**Task:** Play around with Svelte and get used to it.  
**Blocker:** Not really knowing the syntax.  
**Discovery:** $state, $derived, general file structure syntax.
**Lesson:** Playing around teaches you.  
**Fix:** ...
**Tomorrow:** Clean up and reflect on the week.
**Time Spent:** 90m.

## 2025-12-17 () - Svelte, Generators

**Task:** Generator functions and yielding a mock stream of data.  
**Blocker:** Not being very comfortable with Vim & Svelte. Meaning slow movement.  
**Discovery:** Generator functions are pretty sweet. Helps open the call stack.  
**Lesson:** Generators, Svelte and some Vim.  
**Fix:** Not a lot.
**Tomorrow:** Play around with Svelte and finish the UI. Learn more about Svelte.
**Time Spent:** 90m.

## 2025-12-16 () - WebLLM

**Task:** Read up on the WebLLM and play around with it.  
**Blocker:** Had some problems with the WebGPU in the browser.  
**Discovery:** Found out that it's new technology and some browsers blacklist the use of the GPU in the browser.  
**Lesson:** Learned about about:config in Firefox and how to enable different configs and blocked things.  
**Fix:** Above lesson. Allowed it and removed the blacklist. WebLLM ran in the browser and i was ready to test it out.
**Tomorrow:** I will create a fake stream of data in the UI and yield the results with a generator function. All in Svelte.
**Time Spent:** 45m.

## 2025-12-15 (Mon) - Event Loop

**Task:** Play around with Event Loop and Svelte.  
**Blocker:** Understanding the Event Loop & Being new to svelte.  
**Discovery:** Svelte Setup & Syntax. Event loop yielding & Tasks.  
**Lesson:** How to yield promises. Understanding the Event Loop somewhat. Svelte syntax a little bit. Playing around with functions and loops that can crash your browser.  
**Fix:** Yielding will make hard to compute functions easier to manage for the browser and eyes.  
**Tomorrow:** WebLLM.

## 2025-12-11 (Tue) - Event Loop

**Task:** Learn and understand the Event Loop.  
**Blocker:** Needed to understand the event loop properly.  
**Discovery:** How the call stack works. Performance checking Firefox.  
**Lesson:** SvelteKit init/quick crash course. Difference between Call stack, microtask & macrotask. Also which order they're being called.  
**Fix:** Run SvelteKit app & play around with the Event Loop. /lab in the app.  
**Tomorrow:** Play around more with the Event Loop in the browser to understand properly.
