I was able to edit some projects after abandoning them for 3yrs. Also, I reached out to my mentors after a long time. It's a win for me

Removed Redux from my app and started using useReducer+useContext instead to accomplish the same kind of global state.

It's always awesome when you can SIMPLIFY!!!

Finally started something I had thought of ever since I started my career. I have written my first technical blog post. I use dev.to.

Here is the link.

It took 2 whole days. Recording and documenting everything.

The blog is relevant to web developers. Especially the ones working with React. But I would love to hear any kind of feedback from users about the way I have written it.

My Twitter grew by 5000 people with a viral tweet I made. 😄I'm so happy to be able to support more people on their coding journeys now.

I have just tried ASP.net Core with React. Although only by following textual tutorial from the official doc : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/client-side/spa/react?view=aspnetcore-6.0&tabs=netcore-cli, I still feel it's a win.
It's a good start for my journey on using ASP.net Core for web dev, esp for API to serve my React app. It's a lot of things to cover/learn, though : C#, .Net Core fundamentals, ASP.net Core fundamentals, etc.
Btw, it's nice to see that Windows Forms, WPF are now available for free (as of .Net 5 ?), that I can play with desktop GUI on Windows.

I published my first-ever article on dev.to this week and it got an excellent response.

I had not written anything before this article, and while writing this, it felt like a lot of work. But everything turned out well. My article got featured by Dev Community on Twitter and Facebook.

For me, the response I got, was great. It gave me a lot of motivation to write another article.

I have finally found the courage to appear on camera instead of just screen recording and voice over for my YouTube channel about Open Source.

The video is already scheduled for this Monday, I can't wait to see it live!

Woot woot! Nicely done. I know exactly what ya mean about needing to build up that courage for on-cam recordings. I don't have a YouTube channel, but I record lotsa Looms and almost always turn my cam off... I kinda wanna get past that!
