Well after 4 months at my job, I was told that I am a lead over an entire new api that we are building. Plus they gave me someone that I get to guide in the direction of the API. This is huge for me, I am so excited that I get to mentor someone!

My current project ServerMonitor reached 10 stars on GitHub today! 😍

I went from idea, to feedback to execution on my idea of doing Design Reviews for developers and beginning designers in less than a day.

I'm super excited by the feedback I've received and the amount of folks that were interested!

A big thanks to the DEV community for giving me the power to move it! Also on the back of it, I went from 85 followers on here to 215. That was an insane move in 24 hours for me.

In about a day of work :D

I attended two women in tech networking events (networking is always hard for me).

(And congrats on the upcoming wedding! Wishing you and your future spouse all the best!)

It's kinda small but I brought my lunch to work every day this week! Trying to save money by eating out less/only on weekends. Super stoked for the Green Chile Enchiladas I've got for today!

I am a frontend developer with 4,5 years of experience.

I recently switched jobs and I passed my first performance evaluation (first 45 days). My boss said: "You behaved exactly like I thought you would."

I was like: "Oh God!".

She continues: "You brought into our company your former work experience, which is very positive, and you are always willing to help, always available. All I can say to you is: keep doing that."

I felt very proud of myself :D

Introduced a student that is working with us to strong pair programming and managed to finish some work together in a couple of hours, and show him the difference between really clever code, and code that you will be able to read in a couple of months 😃

This is my win this week

I was very excited about contributing to 'dev.to' but the fact that I'm not a ruby developer made me hesitate. Fortunately I can contribute to the client-side part. Also, this made me consider learning Ruby in the near future.

Yay Congrats Jess!! 🎉

My win for this week is that I got the Big Thread Badge which is very exciting. 💃💃💃

Got new running shoes and managed to put in four runs this week so far. Ready to start marathon training again!

Oh, and finished a paying project, sent out the invoice, and started on new one I've been wanting to work on for a while.

Our pup Ruby doesn't have a DEV account (yet), but she got her very own Instagram account this week:

instagram.com/ruby_magoo (I'm a Facebook critic, but haven't yet cut ties to the ecosystem 😬)

I tweet a lot about her too:

I think Ruby needs a dev.to account

Since I started sharing pics of my new pup Ruby, there has been a lot of demand for pictures of her “on Rails”.

I've started writing regularly this week after a while 💪, mostly to my Telegram channel [ru]

Learned about bash traps.

Extremely useful for cleaning up your scripts but still want them to return whatever exit code you want.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

function finish {
  docker-compose down
}
trap finish EXIT

docker-compose down
docker-compose up --build --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from acceptance_test acceptance_test

this

#!/bin/bash
#
# bconv
#
# converts integers from one base to another
# defaults to base 10 for input and base 10 for output
# bases in the range of 2 to 16 only

i_flag='10'
o_flag='10'

print_usage() {
  printf "Usage: bconv [-i input_base] [-o output_base] number\n"
}

while getopts ':i:o:h' flag; do
  case "${flag}" in
    i) i_flag="$OPTARG";;
    o) o_flag="$OPTARG";;
    h) print_usage
       exit 0 ;;
  esac
done
shift $((OPTIND-1))

if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
  print_usage
  exit 1
fi

# clean the input - dc can only accept upper case letters for numbers
input=$(echo $1| tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')

# use dc(1) for the calculation
dc -e "$o_flag o $i_flag i $input p"

Been reading/writing about dc(1) and thought I'd try and build something with it... it's probably easier just to remember

dc -e '2 o 16 i DEADBEEF p'

but it was fun

Got a big pull request done on my testing software!
