I have some wins to be grateful for this week! 💙

I'm officially part of the Community Maintaners Team at OpenSauced to support some of the repos! 🍕
After helping to prepare for the Hacktoberfest, I'm now part of Hacktoberfest team at SheSharp community to help and support our members dive into open source during the event. 🙌
I co-maintain a repository at Virtual Coffee. ☕
I created my first-ever (unplanned and unscripted) video content to resolve merge conflicts for one of our repos in Virtual Coffee! 🎥
I completed Hacktoberfest 2023!!! 🎃
The Hacktoberfest article I wrote for Virtual Coffee, "Hacktoberfest 2023: Let's Make Positive Impacts, Learn & Grow Together in Open Source!", is featured in "Hacktoberfest 2023 Chronicles: Diverse Insights & Viewpoints" on DEV! 🎉

A brand new web scraper for creating OpenAI context data for our chatbot ^_^

It looks kind of cool too I think, doing the web socket thing ;)

"Refactoring with C#" had its final draft approved last night and I got a sneak peek at an early cover, though the graphic will change.

The book publishes next month and I'll let you know when it's listed on sites.

I also started development on a course project and a book project, both on Computer Vision on Azure and both targeting a late Q1 completion.

Got my super cool "One Year Club" - Batch

I’m working on my GitHub universe talk, and I am somehow still able to get Hacktoberfest in. I feel inexplicably productive.

I started a Web Component project to generate Digital Business Cards github.com/skullzarmy/digital-busi... (contributions welcome)

and a generator tool to accompany it on my blog site

Not bad for a side project! 😛

I deleted all my google accounts.

For more privacy? 🙌

For privacy and decentralisation!
Sadly enough the win was actually achieving it. They make it very difficult under certain circumstances. I encountered broken admin console pages (400), empty help pages and there is no documentation for certain steps, only several posts of frustrated users to be found. Eventually terminating certain services was only possible via CLI. I bet their account metrics are heavily inflated.
