Starting off the day at 8:15 AM, waking up. That gives me 30 minutes to be out the door by 8:45 AM to catch the train that leaves at 8:53 AM. I setup two types of alarm, one alarm on [Amazon Echo](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51tXORv8LAL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg) and 10 alarms on my phone spaced out every 5 minutes.

Since I live in Jersey City and our office is in Dumbo, Brooklyn, I'll have to make 3 transfers. First is the [Lightrail](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/HBLR_Jersey_City_July_2013.jpg), followed by the [Path](https://www.trains.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/TRN_PATH_Exchange_Place.jpg), and finally the [A Train](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) dropping me off in Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Where I'll grab a black coffee from [Joe's](https://joecoffeecompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/IMG_8426-960x1440.jpg) right before heading into the office. Black coffee, which has less than 5 calories and is great for weight loss. More on this later!

The team headed out for lunch while I decided to stay back, mainly because, as an engineer, I haven't gotten real engineering work done yet 💀 due to those meetings. I wanted to use this time to get some smaller items done so I can focus on some bigger projects later on.

One of those smaller items dealt with decreasing the load times of our Challenge Packs. Sometimes they would take 5 seconds to load, which was really bad UX. So some refactoring was done, and the speed was drastically improved. Below is the before and after.
