More a win for the past few weeks, but finally started blogging at my site thebouv.com and doing some cross-posting on LinkedIn and here on Dev.to.
20+ years in this industry; figured I can do some writing now. :D

sounds good! A lot of experience to share 😊 keep it up!
And I'm full of opinions sooooooo..... :D
Looking forward to them 😅
maybe start with the ✔||🤢 commit or vomit series 😁
Blog SEO Tip: Add Canonical URL pointing to original blog here for your dev.to Posts.
Edit post and Check post options near save changes.
Weird. I just checked, and I don't have any options near save changes. Just the save changes button itself.
Just near to save changes or Right to save changes there is small round icon. Click that you should see the options. :)
Ooh, nice, thanks. Didn't know that was an option in the Dev.to interface. Thanks for the tip.
Finished a course on Ruby on Rails. Really interesting language and looking forward to digging more into it.
Fulfilled last week’s goal and wrote an article on the Shape Up project management methodology.

I won the raffle for a "leftover" vaccine. It reduces the chance of me dying this year by 40%.
Happy to hear that you have some protection now! What a great feeling. Wishing you health and all the good things!
Congrats, stay safe!
What an amazing feeling! Glad you are safe and healthy

Feeling good 😎😎😎
Getting over 100,000+ total post views on my DEV blog. 🙌 Also making new friends across social media. And having an increase in work opportunities because of all of the content I have created recently.
Good job!
I'll race you to 1,000,000 😂
Installed Java 8 + Android SDK + Android Emulator only using Terminal and without installing Android Studio. That was a ride! The best: most of the commands were already researched by one of our assistants so it's not even my win but even with his shellscripts in place this still was a full-day hackathon to get it all installed correctly on my system 🙈
Surviving days like that definitely counts as a win 😊
Created a free Kubernetes Hands-On Self-Paced Course in which you'll create a local Kubernetes development environment on macOS or Windows and WSL2, including HTTPS/TLS and OAuth2/OIDC authentication.
Was tough, but totally worth it
Awesome!
Surviving the week
This week I had:
But actually also I have to:
I wish i have more power to through this with awesome energy and not procrastinating, but I think what I have done in this week is a win, so that's it : D
For this week,
Whatever, I enjoyed this week.
What about you?
What are you learning currently? let me know some <3
Had a little win today. Found a bug where I was converting string to int as base 16 when it should have been base 10.
It was difficult to catch because, as is often the case for me, the conversion from sensor signal to float is quite confusing. I'm gonna have to update the unit tests!
Nice!
Had my article on the Top 10 of all time in the CSS tag: dev.to/t/css/top/infinity in less than one month! 🎉🎉
Also reached 999 followers 🥳🥳 dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...
Thank you all for your support!
My win this week was debugging my flutter app to work on android! It has been working on iOS perfectly since I started writing it, but it just would not launch on android. I finally found out what I was doing wrong, and it finally launches without issue! Those "aha" moments are the best!
Found out where Javascript developers wash their hands
This week win will be:
Since long time I was exploring 🤓🤓 options to move my wordpress blogs to platform as it was not getting so much traction.
I narrowed down my options to medium and dev.to finally settled on dev.to! One new post 📯 one cross post 📯 for 2k views and 40 reactions still counting.
Enjoying dev.to 👍 tysm guys ❤️
I say this week was great for me. Only because the load was well managed and distributed. This comes down to how your team lead manages work and the working culture of the company.
Published my blog post on predicting emerging influencers and passed my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam, next up is my SysOps Associate exam! 💪🏻
In about five minutes I'm going to test my first cross-platform app with platform-specific code on a Mac, a system I've never once even used before. It's just a simple app to gather some system information on the command line, but a win's a win.
You know what, I'm actually more proud of figuring out how to reverse the mouse scroll wheel in MacOS. The code will run, I'm confident of that, but I thought I'd never figure out how to scroll naturally in this os.
Starting my blog has been very pleasant so far and I've already met some great people. 😄
My third real blog article (or fifth article in general if you include my discuss posts) is the first to go +1k views AND +100 likes. Thank you everyone...! 🙏
I really thought all my posts would be below 1k views for months and I'd have to keep going, but it seems I've reached my first milestone much faster LOL.
My followers also doubled from 20 to 40 from that article. It's not much but I can at least tell I have potential!
I finished djangocms-faq, its a cool plugin that's used in a djangocms website that allow people to create faqs and link them to a small form in order to get answers before using a contact form :)
Here's a video, and another video :)
I slept.
Working from home as an architect and helping a line or two of code for oss with 2 small kids doesn't leave much room for other stuff.
I published my latest post...

WIN: Successfully forced Selenium Java to login with Microsoft Online!
The problem was that the dialog box is reused for the password. However, the original button goes away and the Selenium web driver loses track. This is called a "staleness" error and Selenium will report it as such. The button xpath is identical. What you have to do is loop, causing the driver to keep looking at that spot. It then notices the change and tracks it. This is a rather poor explanation, but explains the concepts involved.
Angular team approved my PR 😊. Testing Angular through GitHub Actions section is added in official documentation... angular.io/guide/testing#configure...
You've earned it! great blogs 😁
I built my very first project in Elixir and I feel very accomplished after studying and practicing for a very long time 😬
Woot! Great job, Amelia. Loved your Top 7 post.
Started my blog on dev.to 😊
I finished a course on typescript and I can't be happier
Made a release 6 months in the making with 3 minutes to go before deadline.
Released the v2 of npmjs.com/package/binder :)
Finally found out how to override a third party's css with your own custom CSS. It has been a burden for me to work around for weeks.
