great job 👍
Thanks @arndom
I love your badges! Congratulations! ✨
Thanks a lot
I have decided to join the #PublicSpeakingChallenge to overcome my fear of talking about what I most like in tech. I do believe this kind of project gonna help a lot!
It can sound really simple but I'll do it with all my might. I'd like to bring a brief introduction to what Linux is and what it isn't, what is Kernel, why the comparisons with Windows and Mac are strange and meaningless, the importance of open source, and how we end up using it daily without even being aware of it.
Congratulations on taking your first step! ✨
I believe the best thing for us anxious people is to just put ourselves out there. We will get stronger because of it 🙂
You can do it! ✨
Well done! That deserves a round of applause.
Another week in which my therapist didn't have to see their therapist.
I am winning and adulting
@michaeltharrington what's yours?
Let's just say I'm happy to have made it through last week — my work week was very busy. 😅
I feel your pain. Let's get off the stool and dance again 😣😥☹🙁😢😭
Haha, for real!
I think the clouds are beginning to part... 🌤
One thing I just completed is I finally got a loan to begin construction on my house. My dad and brother are our contractors and I'm siked for this ball to begin rolling. Hoping to be able to move in around December, so it's exciting times!
Well done! Keep it up! ✨
I'll try...my goal is to have their therapist see one. It's the small things in life that bring me joy
I had a great time presenting a session on Ethical AI during a meetup group. 🌟
I find learning about Ethical AI is very important in this day and age, well done! ✨
You should do a write-up here, I would love to read it.
@schalkneethling similar content but different example..

the weather was very nice here (except today 🤭) We did some performance improvement in our product. I will start to give a new Ruby on Rails bootcamp. Me and bootcamp sponsor company talked about the details 🚀
The weather is still nice as the sun is just hiding behind the clouds for a little bit 😀
It sounds like you had some amazing productive days, congratulations! ✨
I hit 3,000 total post views here on Dev. Also crossed some frustrating hurdles in my current app project; nearing MVP on that!
Woo-hoo, well done! ✨
Funny story and win... I was supposed to speak in a conference and wanted people to check out my books while I was there. So I put 4 of my books on a table and stepped a bit a way to give them some space. I wasn't looking for a minute and someone took one of my books.
Anyway I get up on stage. 600+ people, pretty nice. And while I mentioned my books I said that three of them are being passed around the crowd. It would have been four but someone had "sticky fingers" earlier... I end my talk (which went well) and I get back 4 books. One of my friends gives me the forth book. Apparently someone gave it to him. A cousin of that friend was in the audience and was sure he's the one who stole it which made the whole story even funnier.
I hadn't been in a conference for a while and this was so much fun.
These are my wins:
Congratulations, well done! ✨
I successfully launched the ticket sales platform for a motorsport event, which will make driver registration a lot easier to wrangle going forward!
Then I forgot to buy my own ticket before they sold out... But it properly stopped me, so hey that's something! 😅
Aw, well, well done on launching the ticket sales platform for a motorsport event! 👏 ✨
started writing blogs again and got feedback!
Awesome!
Really fun taking part in judging the frontend challenge
Very well done, that could not have been an easy task! 😀 ✨

Michael Tharrington for The DEV Team ・ Apr 4
💟 I received a new badge on DEV! ✨
💟 I received a new badge on Codecademy! ✨
🎮 I completed two singleplayer levels on CodeCombat! ✨
I also earned the following achievements:
📘 I have donated most of my books to charity and I finished reading two fiction books which I also gave away! ✨
🍕 I had heart-shaped pizza the other day! ✨
I was super happy to see the Dev.to team pick up my post with 21 pieces of unsolicited advice for junior developers. ❤️ That pushed me to make a video version of it inspired by Kevin Kelly's, 68 Pieces of unsolicited advice video on YouTube. 😁
Somehow I sat down at 11 PM, completely exhausted and my brain was like:
"You know what would be a great use of your time? Rewriting the entire font rendering code to use texture atlases"
It worked on the second run after about half an hour. Now why can't I always be that productive?
