I'm at 25 of 30 articles in my 30 days challenge! Todays article is almost done.
It's difficult to write every single day, I'm glad I'm doing this challenge, and I look forward to finish it :D

Also, I'm happy with the writing of my latest article, probably my favorite so far:

Thank you ThaΓ­sa for the support πŸ™
Yes being consistent is hard! Even if I try to plan my days as much as possible, unplanned things are coming daily in our lives, or some tasks may take 2-3 hours more than expected.

Keep writing, it brings a lot of value for you and everyone!

Thank you @qyrus πŸ™ Everyday is kind of a new challenge: Writing represent 25% of the time spent, and preparing projects examples and good visuals is 75% (like GIF/Diagrams). Even if I already prepared all subjects, code examples aren't always working the first time (that's part of programming ahah)

I got to go see Queens of the Stone Age live in Raleigh last night!

A promo for Queens of the Stone Age's tour... in a black & white we see a zoomed out shot of a big stage with the band on it and you can see the words "The End is Nero" written over top of it in red

They played one helluva set.

I gave a presentation about Kotlin at the JetBrains HQ in Amsterdam and I talk all about it, and explain the details in the article I created for it here:

It is associated to my first ever series on DEV.TO called "My Kotlin World" and its there to point out odd, strange and potentially unexpected things this great programming language has to offer.
Have a good one everyone!

I interviewed with several companies this week! I am so excited to see where this takes me and if anything, I got a ton of practice!

I was invited for another interview with a company I truly love!

I found that I love cybersecurity, but finding a niche has been a journey. I have always studied social engineering, but I am growing to love learning about the ethics surrounding AI and how companies will need to change data policies if they are considering using it.
