This week, I...saw this in my google feed!
But in reality land, if this article didn't get posted today I would have felt like I had nothing to say. I had a pretty off week -- maybe it was just adjusting from coming back from a mini vacation, or the constant gloomy overcast or both, but I had a lot of internal resistance when it came to getting deep work done.
I think my biggest win (or a much needed reminder) was/is to cut myself some slack when I'm in this state and not get overwhelmed with negative thoughts about my own performance or productivity.
The business insider feature was truly uplifting though :)
That is so cool, congratulations! I would be on Cloud9 if that happened to me. Keep up the great work. Fight the good fight!
This week, I...Actually, just today, I got a new guitar!!
... it's a Gretsch Streamliner G2655, for anyone that's into this sorta thing.
Looks like I'll be rocking out to the blues this weekend! 😎🎸
It's a beauty! <3
Thankya much! And confirm that it plays as nice as it looks... was a good weekend!
Oh, this looks so cool. Congrats!
Appreciate it!!
Ooh nice! When I have some extra spending money, I want one of these. Only about $2k new. Oof.
Oh awesome. That's a beautiful bass! Kinda reminds me of the Joe Dart Bass that just went on sale today! Not sure if you're familiar with Vulfpeck (gotta love their site)... if not, then check'em out and enjoy the funk!
It's an Ernie Ball bass, just like the Stingray!

Vulfpeck are pretty good! This is one of my favorites of theirs:
VERY late to the party, but I have to inform you all that my life is now complete: Vulfpeck is on dev.to
Did you know the Beatles played Gretch Guitars early on. I think the song "Nowhere Man" had Gretch guitars jingling in the background. Such a nice sound.
I did not know that, but that's super cool! I def dig the Beatles and guess what I bought myself for Christmas...
That's a Vox AC-15. I know the Beatles were famous for using Voxes! 😀
My Gretsch has a little extra jangle now. 🎸
I'm sorry. Nowhere Man did not have Gretch, but others did.
This week, my first changelog worthy feature shipped!
Changelog: V2 Editor Autosave!
Ali Spittel
I'm really happy we shipped this:
New Experimental Feature: "Target Experience Level" for Posts
Ben Halpern
It's not fully fleshed out, but it will open up a lot of doors in providing the best possible experience to all users.
Cool! I just started my blog this week and I'm thinking about doing that. Seems like it would be helpful.
This week, I had a job interview to become a front-end developer!
I believe, I finally managed to wrap my head around vim and it's plugins.
Just took me like... half a year 😓
Also I finally managed to delete my last Windows Installation and am now running 100% powered by Linux.
Welcome to the collective.
Now you're on a good path :)
This week, I...
Amazing week!
Awesome! Mic drop...
This week, I...finally published my first article on dev.to 🎉
Welcome!
This week, I
A: reached 400+ followers on the awesome Dev.To Community 🙌🏻.
B: I earned my first €70 Ads income on my blogs
(mainly, thanks to Shipharder.com)
This week, I... made a stacked area line chart in d3. I made it accessible which was a huge challenge but very fulfilling! I made sure you could access the data points with a keyboard, didn't depend on color to reflect meaning, and that read the data outloud when you tabbed to the area.
Geez! I’m exhausted just reading that. Way to go. That’s a huge win!
That's awesome!
This week, I...
figured out a lingering problem with my flagship, get me hired app. I really struggled understanding the library and the library authors React component example. Ive wrestled with this for two years now.
The other day I was looking for the issue I raised; no music, just me and the code and...well...it all began to make sense. I thought I'd need some sort of state management when really, all I had to do was pass a function as a prop to another component.
I also figured out, without much help, how to implement search on my blog. Yes, I used a pre-made component but I struggled with gatsby-plugin-algolia and getting the hits on my blog to index, as well as figuring out an
undefinedslug and 404 page when I would search in a test, click the article, and it wouldn't work.It took me at least 10 hours over a period of two days to figure out my bug and hack some stuff together. Once I figured it out I was...ecstatic.
Two wins in one week. I'll take it.
This week, I... Set up SSL on an aws elastic instance! It was my first time working with aws and docker containers so I hit a few walls I definitely overlooked in the heat of the moment, but I'm glad I didn't pass it to someone else on the team (that's how I ended up with it haha).
This week, I...successfully installed Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro with Bootcamp so I can play Overwatch when I should be working 👀
Ha ha ha! A win...is a win. Nice!
This week, I finally upgraded my development server to PHP 7.2! It only took about 30 minutes, on account of my having meticulously documented the entire server configuration in Sphinx, and always updating it as I change the system.

This week, I...
Learned how to use Pandoc to combine multiple markdown files into one big html file.
PowerShell
Documents
010_introduction.md
020_installing.md
021_install_XYZ.md
That way, I could break the documentation into sections and re-arrange them by only changing file names!
Wow! I've been trying to find an easy, simple and quick solution to do this for ages! Would you be so nice to link here other resources, articles, or docs about it?
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
T
