What was your win this week?

I started my Youtube channel, made a few posts on Dev.to and lost another pound of weight. I'm getting closer and closer to my goal weight and healthier life.

1. My project Emoji Button passed 400 stars on GitHub!
2. I made more progress on my book! Hopefully there are folks out there that will find it useful.

This week I finally put an application using Elastic search in production! I've worked with it on another project but was never able to actually put it into production. I now have it running and it works really well. That's the second new technology I've put into production this year. Even after 4 years I'm still learning new things every day!

I found a apartment to share near the college, so I'm planning to move again. I also have a chance to participate in a project of developing a software for the college (I'll have to wait for the the interview). I'm pretty excited with that.

I wrote about partial application in javascript. In english and spanish.

Also, I did a refactor on a messy codepen, now is good.

• I wrote my first dev.to post for #TheyCoded.
• I applied for three more developer jobs!
• I cleaned and organized my work area so it was easier to sit down and focus on getting my work done.
• I reached out to people I worked on group projects with and asked if they'd be interested in working on them more with me which was hard because I've got a lot of social anxiety. They agreed and we're going to clean up our project and make some improvements!

I finally made a github repo that reached 1k stars! Super happy for it!

I conducted a React Workshop (that I've been preparing for months) to university students and it went great!

I'll make a post about it at some point but here's the link for now if anyone is interested:

This week I felt like I was stuck in a rut with my writing, I couldn't think of any good or "fun" topics to write about and I didn't think my post on styled-components would do very well (because I'm sure lots of other people have written about it already) but it didn't do too badly so that's my win for the week!

• I ate bao for the first time and have a new lunch destination
• I got my RPG night group to change venue from a crowded gaming store for a few weeks (social distancing) with zero push back.
• I preordered Animal Crossing :)

I worked a lot on Gwion !
I removed cryptic symbols (eg: no more #(0,0) but Complex(0,0) instead),
added some kind of constructors for these kind of structures (Unpack() for instance rebuilds the ast of its arguments).
I add a problem with vararg.start end vararg.end, but now varargs can be copied and there is a statement for its loop:

fun void test(...) {
  varloop vararg {

  }
}

And much more...

I'm currently implementing structs users side:

#! this is a comment
#! let's define a struct
struct S {
  int i;
  float f;
 #!  ...
}

such structs are like object (they can also have static variables and all kinds of functions) except they are stocked as is, whereas an object stores then in a data field.

I wrote and shared 2 blogs here, one of the blog is for #shecoded and I got 50 new followers and 200+ views on my latest blog post 😍 😍

I completed a cool proof of concept at work that involved SSR, Node and React. It was a fun challenge and overall really successful. After demoing it today it was accepted and will be scheduled for implementation 🙌🙌🙌

Tackled some tricky javascript! I haven't touched javascript in a while, so relearning its quirks is definitely giving me a good challenge.

This week..Since I lost one of my biggest prospective clients on UpWork. I learned that I have to be more detailed in creating a project timeline/schedule for the client to understand non-technical things.
