I realised that my happiness was too tied to the internet and to other people, so I went outside and tried to find happiness. I looked for every colour of the rainbow in the parks / fields around me and saw the largest, fluffiest dog I have ever seen.

My happiness may not be as tied to the internet anymore, but oh my is it tied to big giant fluffy dogs!

Received this awesome sweatshirt that I bought from the shop.dev.to. I am loving it :)

Not dev related: Advocated for my cat to get the care he needed at the vet hospital. They act like I'm paranoid up until they do an ultrasound and take him back to get prepped for surgery >.> Now I have a groggy cat laying next to me who gets bed rest and pain meds for the next two weeks

Dev related: Actually kept up with work this week while running on little to no sleep due to all that happening on Sunday/Monday :o

🤓
1) This week i won the T-shirt from Daily.dev and in the same week I received the shipment code of the Hacktoberfest t-shirt, from DigitalOcean.
2) For improving my JavaScript (pure) skills i built Etch a BitSketch:

😜
This was my best result: github.com/casiimir/TheOdinProject...

PS. thank you for this post, I was really looking for something like that xD

It has been a super exciting week! I've enrolled in the DEV + DigitalOcean Hackaton and already submitted my project 🙌

DO Hackathon: Phase 1 - The Idea

Launched my new portfolio 😄 studio.icvn.tech

Managed to overcome a lot... and I mean A LOT of errors and bugs in my DO Hackaton submission project. I am amazed at how much weight the sentence 'leave it for a couple of hours' has for successful programming. I also bought a new pair of winter socks 🔥🧦.

Got 11k+ total post views in dev.to!

I was always scared to put my thoughts out there so starting blogging on here was a win 🤗 and landing an interview at a place that I REALLY want to work at! 🎉 Hoping that I make it to the next round!

Other than the sudden relief of lots of poorly-planned deadlines removed and finally getting it off my chest, it doesn't feel like much of a win yet but it will be in the long run:

Finally telling a startup CEO, who dragged his feet on an equity agreement for over a month (which I should have made more noise about early on instead of being so head down trying to adjust my schedule for said deadlines) and who is going to have an impossible task explaining to investors what two of the co-founders on his cap table actually do, to F right off after weeks of micromanagement and lack of consideration for other things going on in my life.

The project I've been working on, a sign that turns on when starting streaming and off again when finished, is complete! Or at least version 1 of it is. I've started on version 2 a little, but want to finish a post about the initial build and code first.

Plus I'm now on leave until the new year, so time to relax.

I learned how we can extand vue next and how we can create and test in local a package (and push it to npm)
Created a post on dev.to about it ^^

And get Access to mod center on dev.to

Great week :D

dev.to/noprod/update-of-vue-rx-to-...

After discovering some performance issues, I presented my findings to the team. Mostly around image compression, it was nice to delve back into an aspect of web development I haven’t looked at professionally for a few years and pass on that knowledge. Not only will the team be better placed to optimise but our customers will get a nice speed boost too!

Excited to see how they take that information on board and apply it to old and new projects.

My first class as a lead instructor graduates today. They did quite well and I'm very proud of them.

Postponed a launch for 2 months. Felt like a failure at first - and now it just feels super right. almost as happy as brad...

I switched back to Node/JS after trying Go(lang) for server-side and I understand it immensely more after going somewhat in-depth in learning Go.

Learning GSAP library, it's so amazing !

I just released version 0.4 of my Vue CLI plugin! I'm going to write an article about it soon

Finally managed to complete a blog post in a long time, just need to find the confidence to publish it 😶

I got Plotly.js to plot OPC UA node values in realtime.

I started a DOCKER Series - ⚡️DOCKER Practical Guide⚡️

Finished the static site generator I was stuck on building.

1. Joining dev.to
2. Getting my Hacktoberfest t-shirt this week :)

I restarted training Krav Maga after 16 years!

Lots of wins this last week including my new badge on dev.to :)

Won my first place in my first ever Hackathon hosted by CitiBank this weekend with an amazing team. Beyond thrilled with my growth and development as a codenewbie.

I developed my portfolio website with flask and here is the source code.

Maybe saved a big relase from blowing up. Will know for sure in monday.but Things are looking good.

Learned a little more about React and how it works, and how some functions in AWS works
