What was your win this week?

Started learning to play piano and learning to drive a car

Migrated mysql database to postgres and gone serverless with aws serverless v2. It was really exciting 🤩

Hitting the goal of publishing a new video ;)

I decided to build my personal website in Vue insetad of vanilla JavaScript!
Oh, and GitHub Copilot was behaving kinda weird:

It's supposed to give me snippets, not links, and the link didn't really answer my question lol

Been a while since I've posted here....
This week I've:

• finally fixed bugs for my app
• Worked on Smartlist: smartlist.tech

I presented the results of over a year of work at a team conference!

I am in the process of learning to program in Go outside work.

This week I was facing an assignment as a product manager where I needed handle a challenge we face at work. I wanted to do proposal for a possible solution and I had an idea - so I decided to do a prototype in Go.

I got the prototype working and I could write up my findings for discussion with my developer colleagues. The prototype was simple, but I was confident I could do it in Go and I did in with fewer visits to fewer external resources than expected.

During my morning coffee I fell over this post and a Tweet from @jessitron

Once you reach the level of conscious incompetence, it’s very hard not to improve at something every time you do it, because you notice what’s wrong each time. @DRMacIver

And the responses mentioned the four stages of competence, which I recognised, even though I only new the representation as a matrix.

The situation reminded me of earlier when I was learning to program (I was a developer before I was a product manager), I learned by doing, I learned by challenges and I grew more and more competent and confident - now years later I am applying the same approach to learning a new language.

I am on the brink of being conscious incompetent - so things can only improve from here if I keep at it.

Thanks @jessitron - your tweet resonated with me in more ways than you can imagine

I finally started blogging again after finishing my bachelors and starting with my masters - Busy time, but definitely enjoying it ;)

Being an introvert, I find it difficult to interact with new people. But recently had joined dev.to and last week only, published an article here for the first time. And the best part it got 7 reactions so far! yay🥳

I know its not much, but it still means a lot to me! 😌

Spent quality time with someone in support, learnt lots about sumologic, and identified weak spots in our logging strategy that we will strengthen next week.
