I completed the part of the initialize linode bash scripts that installs Postgres. I am working now on adapting the script that initializes the database with roles and permissions to work locally and on remote server.
I think I need to change the proportion of time I spend on reading vs the time I spend on building the gadm-api project. It feels that the progress on the project is a bit too slow, while taking detailed notes on the books I read take too much time.
