I spent a few hours after work with one of my co-workers who was struggling with a serious case of Impostor syndrome to help him realize how much value he had and it seems like it worked.
He looks way better now and I'm glad I could help him !
Aww, that's really nice! Well done you!
Such a nice portfolio site!
I would suggest making a larger area clickable for the hamburger button, right now if you press slightly above or left of the hamburger it doesn't register (I'm on mobile)
Hi, the problem is, when you scroll down I have some projects listed so if I make that target large and if user tries to click on project somewhere close to the menu he will end up opening the menu rather than going to a project.
I will see if I can make it a little larger that it is not large enough to come in between the other site content.
Thank you for your suggestion 🌻🌻
Site looks great! Couple of suggestions if they're welcome or not :P
Put an arrow in the middle of the page so it's obvious to scroll down for more content. At first glance I thought sweet, his name and links to his profiles on other sites. Then I scrolled.
Second, make the overflow menu in the lower right moon more obvious somehow. I didn't even realize it was there until a second look.
fr though, the site is great. Just don't want to miss any potential employers because HR is too lazy to attempt to scroll.
I agree as well haha. That scroll bar isn't very a11y friendly imho, didn't even notice it initially
Yeah I just realized. I will increase its width for desktops🌻 Thank you!
This makes so much sense I will have it for sure! Thank you so much 🦄🦄
Not really sure how I can do that. I think the problem is it's color, the color kind of makes it look like it is part of browser so you don't strongy notice it. I tbh ran out of colors when I went to that part. I'll see if I can do something
Thank you so much for your suggestions they are super helpful 🌻🌻
I finished my 52nd book this week and therefore reached my reading goal of reading a book every week early 📖💪🏻
Could you please provide a list of books you read? If you don't mind. I like factfulness too.
Here are some books I'd like to recommend:
Thriller:
Science - Fiction
Fantasy
Non - Fiction
Ya same here, I'd love to get some recommendations :)
Congrats! What books were you reading?
I mostly do reading as a recreational activity, therefore I read a lot of Thrillers and Science Fiction.
But I also love to read something about Science, Physics, Astronomy, or just general stuff that I find hard to categorize (like Factfulness by Hans Rosling, which I recommend to everyone)
Got promoted 🚀🚀
Nice!!
Wins include:
My almost 2-year old can say 5 colors now. Red, blue, pink, black, and white. The list grows by the day.
Successfully connected my school project to a prebuilt database.
My Java is improving little by little.
Helped my niece count to 100 in Spanish, despite not having spoken any Spanish since my college years.
Java was getting started to really fun and getting better fast, once it was ”click”ed, for me.
So you are a good language teacher/learner. No wonder you will be good at programming language as well. Can’t remember whom she was, but once saw a linguist that nailed at coding. What giant wins. Hope you would have a bit of time to enjoy your weekends.
Finally! My backpack arrived. From the states (I think) to South Africa
I just got a front-end internship for a SAAS company on Friday! Still can't believe this is happening! Started from zero till landed a job in a year :D
Congratulations!
Yay! So cool! So happy for you!!
Hey @jess
I hope you are doing well.
So, my win this week was that one my articles got 8000+ views here on Dev.to.
In case you want to give it a read, link is here :
dev.to/saeeddev/master-these-11-co...
Another one was that I mentored some people online and offline about career. So that's from my side for this week. Tomorrow I am going to GDG DevFest for mentoring a Google Assistant Action Development Lab. That would be another addition to my achievements.
Nice work Saeed!
I'll be there 😃
See ya there @nomangul
I finally admit the fact that it’s OK to fail.
I just took my midterm test, that had been delayed 3 weeks.
(it’s almost final period LOL) I tried my best, but still, I might pass the course, maybe not. I will admit whatever the result would be even though it might be still hurtful.
tl;dr. My win of this week is, I’ve gotten ready to be defeated.
Failure is a natural part of progress. Whenever I fail a quiz, test, and the eventual interview, I bake myself some cupcakes. The only condition is that you can't give up.
I’ve already failed tons of interviews, not only from dev jobs, but also places like Starbucks. Failing coursed was harder, maybe since it is purely from my own effort without additional excuse.
Thanks for kind words, and good luck with your challenges, fellow student/career-changer.
Anytime. I miss Tim Horton's. Sometimes I order a big tub of their coffee whenever I am feeling nostalgic. Take care.
Gave a talk at KubeCon!
Is there a vid on youtube or do we have to wait 👀?
Looks like it's up!

I hit 10,000 followers here on DEV!
+1!
whoa
that is a few too many
Nothing is better than new 🧦!!
I think we may be able to achieve world peace just by giving every person a new bag. When I put on new socks, the last thing I want to do is fight someone haha :)
I started as a developer advocate for TDev here in Melbourne, Australia 😍
It’s exciting and scary at the same time ☺️
14K followers here
More than 150K post views just under 5 months
Couldn’t be happier 🎉
That's exciting!!
Delivered my first orders on Fiverr! And guess what? It was two on a row! :D
Nice! What were the orders?
One was to write some unit test for an Angular application and another one was to build some UI from mockups which was with Angular also.
