100% code coverage of unit test for every single line of code I wrote

Wow!

Was this enforced by the team/yourself/both?

I enforced it since 2016, I promise that to myself, and I'm happy to can stick to that. The point was, in the beginning, to show with an example that good unit test coverage (and have tests in general) pays off, relatively quickly. I can say there was some skepticism at the beginning of some colleagues, but now everybody takes it as a standard :)

I really like dev.to because the achievements of others inspire me but they make me anxious as well. This was actually a great way to think about what you have achieved this year.
Goals for 2019 would be to start blogging & contributing to open source!

I'm definitely more a consumer than contributor right now. Β―\(ツ)/Β―

Of course, the GitHub commits above don't include what I've done at work (those are privately stored elsewhere), so there's that.

Wow nice! I wish I will be that prolific next year too!

I will cheat a bit and conclude my parental leave summary which had ~2 years. I was lucky and found some extra time to advance my career beside all the family time. I will write more about it in a post (wishful thinking).

Brick by brick, step by step build your own path towards the end goal!
