Thanks to all the Developers around the world. ✌️
Congrats on your first post!
Thanks! It's not the first one, just the first with over 50 reactions :P
I had an amazing first week at my new job. 🤗
Congrats on the new job and a successful first week! Any advice for someone close to an offer for handling the first week at a new place?
Do the onboarding if they have it. If they don't, or it's lacking take some initiative to improve it. In one place I didn't have an account for something, so I added it to the docs. In another, I documented something about some processes for devs. The next person that comes along will thank you for it. 😉
Get the code running, see if you can understand what's going on. Ask questions, generally just be hungry to learn. I wrote a bit about onboarding in this post.
What is your on-boarding process at your company?

For the record though, the onboarding at DEV is top-notch. Even though it is top-notch, they still asked what could be improved. 👏🏻
Awesome! I really like the part about improving it if you can. "Leave it better than you found it" and all that. Thanks for the advice!
sniff You, sir, are an everyday hero.
What you're describing is basically the first activities of the heroine in The Unicorn Project, spanning multiple chapters. It's an underrated type of work.
Had a great 1-on-1 with my team lead. Got some positive feedback, a few things to work on, set priorities, etc. And set some good back burner items to work on while waiting on deliverables from other teams. Was super productive and also enjoyable!
It was a busy week at work but I managed to check-off all my major to-dos. I'm also so excited that we've launched the CodeLand site and CFP!
Big shout out to @lisasy who worked super hard (and fast) on getting this project out the door!
CodeLand 2020 CFP is now open!
Yay! 😀It was awesome.
Got my first pay as a writer, making me... a professional writer!
Started some discussions to do some paid written content for a company I love.
Almost crossed the 2k daily views marker on Medium. Likely crossed it long ago on dev.to but the stats aren't that granular here.
Oh yeah, and got accepted into the .NET Foundation and some code accepted, merged, and deployed at this company called Microsoft.
Moved some of my posts to dev.to and received great feedbacks from community.
It give me a lot of motivation to write another posts.
This week, I created my first PR : github.com/cozy/cozy-stack/pull/2340 and it was accepted and merged.
It's really cool !
Well done and welcome in Go open source community.
This week I completed 1 year being part of this awesome DEV community.
My Baby Steps:
I made some tweaks to my product homepage (divjoy.com) and saw 100% jump in sales. I talk about it a bit here: indiehackers.com/post/how-i-double...
I had my first technical interview loop in over a year! It was rough but I got my feet wet and I'm so relieved it's over. NEXT!
Same! It's been wild but there's only more to come. Congrats on the progress!
thanks, one step at a time! congrats to you as well :)
