Spent the last two hours helping the spouse set up Get Shit Done (GSD) so that she could scaffold the technical testbed for the PhD program that starts tomorrow. The testbed isn’t the research; it’s what the research needs so it can even get done. Honestly this involves a tech stack and integrations I am functionally illiterate with. I can’t imagine how she and her research partner, having had to lean on another PhD candidate to do this who frankly hadn’t the time, would have done it.
