I finally made the research and took a decision on a privacy-centred alternative to Google Analytics for my tiny blog :) I wrote about it in today's blog post ;)
I also integrated the RSS feed from my blog to dev.to so that my blog posts get easily ported here! :win:
Not necessarily a win for this week, but my appraisal is coming up, and unlike last year, I've been bullet journalling my work notes, so pulling out my achievements and challenges for the year was soooo much easier than last year.
Recommendation to you all : journal, and put your tasks in your journal. Future you will thank you.
Agree makes life so much easier Journaling is a big W!
Totally a win!
I am required to provide a weekly report with weekly accomplishments. It does makes it easier when appraisal time is due. It also keeps him informed minimizing surprises.
And yes, future you will thank you!
I've been journaling my daily work (and life) for about 2 years now, it has proven extremely useful. At work, I can always have a list of things I worked on to prove how I spent my time, in case someone asks. In life, it helps me fight the inner chatter in my head that says that I haven't done enough things today and that I have wasted my time. Visualizing how I spend my time at work and life helps a lot!
Every end of the month I go through the ~30 notes and make a general monthly review of achievements. At the end of the year, I go through these 12 notes for an annual review.
I learned a few new tricks using JavaScript, small win but so worth it.
And I laughed a lot this week, always a Win when I can laugh at least one time a day.
Score.
Laughter is the best win of all ❤️
Curious about the tricks! Javascript is a very interesting language with a lot of history, and yet is constantly evolving. The more I learn, the more I realize there is so much more to learn!😊
Finaaaaaaally deploying my portfolio website! I finally have something decent to showcase my projects self high-five

Well done. I built mine when I first learnt React. Super slick site.
Thanks Bernard! Same, I was waiting to know a bit more React to do mine so I build it with Next.js
Your portfolio had great UID
Your story is told in a very creative way!!! I did a bit of inspect and very creative use of classes for those anims ! class="typewriter-has" ;-)
Would love to see a post on how you got that done...no pressure just an idea? Congratulations!
Thanks Hunter! I used an npm package for that effect, it would've taken me ages to do otherwise
Which course did you mean when you said this "I graduated from a JavaScript and React Development course with General Assembly to further deepen my skills." ?
I took the JavaScript course at General Assembly In the last weeks we learnt React too:

My last post. Published it and went to sleep, woke up to it trending. I appreciate that fellow devs find my contribution useful to them somehow.

Also, started learning Rust and created a simple game while at it.

Las he tenido peores, pero siempre hay algo positivo; en programación aprendí algunas cosas de Typescript y de JS que no sabía que existían; organicé un poco mi vida personal y aprendi a hacer ensaladas con vinagre, cebolla, col y tomates. Espero que la que viene sea mejor. Saludos, suerte.
Made an improvement to our event queueing system to add reliability on failed events 🥴🥴
