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!

$ npm install jtenner/as-pect

$ npx asp --init
# It will create the following folders if they don't exist
C ./assembly/
C ./assembly/__tests__/
# The as-pect types file will be created here if it doesn't exist
C ./assembly/__tests__/as-pect.d.ts
# An example test file will be

Found the source of an WiFi issue a specific device model was having for months at the clients office and their IT departement had no clue what was going on 💪
The reason why only that model was having issues was because it only used 2.4GHz and all other devices used 5GHz, and their 2.4GHz netwerk kept rebooting every 30-60 minutes.

I finally finished a huge refactoring pass on the internals of a web app I've been developing. I've been working on just this refactor for the past two weeks, and I'm super excited to finally have it done because it cut down CPU usage by about 60%, reduced load times by about 15%, and fixed almost a dozen bugs involving synchronization between the DOM and the internal state of the app.

I also finally figured out what's been causing network performance issues at work that I've been trying to fix for the past six months.

After a month on my new job, yesterday we finally presented our MVP!

Ported a website and some webservices to .NET Core and installed AppInsights on the web site.
Getting ready to put the website to azure. Have to merge three subsides first. Already changed the underlying design to support this.
Babysteps, but continuity wins in the end.

Congrats!

My "win" is a bit silly... I actually remembered to update my article code repo with the latest code. (It's still missing a few older ones though... There's always next week lol)

Met up with someone and they offered to be my mentor! 🕺🏼

Finished my first freelance project after 1 month. It's pretty unbelievable to me when I look back at it, but I've just graduated from university for 1.5 months and had my first professional job for 1 month. :D

This week we had a huge issue where one of our clients highlighted some potentially missing data. Understandably, they weren't happy, and we were extremely concerned about this new incident. Well, after some detective work in our database, I was able to find the missing data. I was grateful for the opportunity to learn about and handle this gap in a system I've been in charge of for only 3 months.

Just two weeks in at a new place, done with the development part of a new service. How everything is set up makes much more sense than my previous assignment. And had The Dutch Clojure meetup finally in our office.

I went to my first big developer's conference and learned so much and had a ton of fun! I'm really working hard on getting out to events and networking more and the fact that that whole day went so well was a huge win for me!

Congrats!

My big win this week has been writing an article on dev.to! I've been meaning to write something for a while and I was glad to publish it and to get such an overwhelming response

Dude, I not only got my first P3 bug accepted on Bug Crowd (no cash reward, but I did get points) which boosted me into the top 4000 hackers on the site, but I also got invited to a private bug bounty program!

I publish my personal website eldin.space and write blog post about it .

Getting a quick shout-out in this post was def a win!

But all that comes with it too... I'm quite happy to be taking over this thread for the next 3 retros as reading all these wins gives me the feel-goods all over. 😀

Mazel tov!!

I learned Swift and SwiftUI and built a small app prototype! 🎉 🎊

@devfestwi hit 50 presentation proposal submissions. I'm super excited about what our program might look like!

I finally got a pair of exercise shoes that fit great, and I got my meetup group up and running again

I got my Gatsby photography portfolio to pull in content from Sanity CMS 💪

I helped a friend and fitness coach build her online presence. And in two days I code her website using bootstrap for the first time. chatiana.github.io/prettyfit/

Finally got around to making more progress on the redesign of Android-Password-Store I've been working on for weeks :D

Making my second ever pull request (adding some missing words to a PEP), and seeing it get merged by the (former) BDFL himself.

after a week of research i got to add over 300 lines of code to my project now for the next 300 :)

I have finished my side project. No more just one ticket. No more overnights.
