Finally found some time to release the website I've been working on and boost it's traffic a little bit. It's essentially a database of Tech questions with the possibility to make quizzes on multiple topics and use an API to embed the questions on your websites - QuizAPI

It's so good to see the results of your work.

Josh • May 12 '20 • Edited

Just took the HTML quiz, great questions! It was fun too.

It was my cats' birthday earlier this week, so my wife & I bought and assembled a kitty tower for them.

That's Icarus there, having a moment!

KiraJW • Sep 21 '20 • Edited

Your cat looks cute. And the other cat is white? I also have 2 cats, black and white. I sometimes think of Kusturica's film "Black cat white cat" when I look at my cats. I also recently gave them a gift and bought them a big cat house. But to my regret, they prefer a closet and an empty box from the washing machine. I read in a blog about pets that this is normal behavior and cats can take a long time to get used to new things. By the way, do you know any interesting blogs about cats? I like this one petsoid.com/what-is-a-group-of-cat.... There's a lot of interesting information here that I didn't know before.

Peter Kim Frank • May 8 '20

Climbing higher into the sunlight?

Got font awesome to work on my first portfolio website ever. Obviously the first icon I put on there was the DEV (fa-dev) one to link to my profile!

Fulton Browne • May 8 '20

I finished migrating a bunch of database stuff, I'm glad that's over :]

Tyler V. (he/him) • May 8 '20

We had a bug report that 2 (seemingly random) users from all our company users were unable to get past the callback page for one of our internal apps.

Turns out their user group's time sync was off by 2 minutes, causing the tokens to be "created in the future" and invalidate themselves 😅 It was one of the weirder bugs I've ever pieced together!

Vaibhav Khulbe • May 8 '20

I completed Google Cloud Platform: Core Infrastructure course on Coursera! I thoroughly enjoyed all the assignments and Qwiklabs and got to know so much about the cloud.

Yay!

From this week, I have started documenting my Leetcode solutions for the Leetcode May challenge. Although it is now about the Leetcode May challenge, I am planning to write playbooks with trips and tricks for tackling different types of coding interview questions that are encountered frequently in the FAANG and other medium-sized companies.

This is also my first time blogging in dev.to platform.

I launched my personal website!

My favorite thing about it? The JavaScript bundle for the entire site is smaller than some libraries.

Brian Heidrich • May 9 '20

After spending the last 6 years in IT Support and Cyber Security I had an interview yesterday for a .NET Developer position in St. Louis. I was informed a few minutes after the interview that I got the job 😃!

I have never professionally been a developer and only ever did it as a passion/hobby so a company taking a chance on me letting me finally do it professionally is definitely well appreciated. I'm happy that I finally get to do something I love!

rugamaga • May 8 '20

Nutrionik • Jun 7 '21 • Edited

I think smoking is related to stress levels and how competitive and demanding our working environment has become. I swear to my mom that I would never become a smoker beat the barcode, cannabis, or other pipe forms. That change very fast when I joined a multinational corporation and saw how relaxing it is to smoke once in a while. I just decided to keep the effect on my health to the minimum, which is one reason I adopted smoking through a bubbler pipe from mjarsenal.com/collections/all-bubb... . The smoking experience itself became much better as it's so smooth compared to cigarettes.

SaidiAli • May 8 '20

Osinachi Chukwujama • May 15 '20

I got into an internship with a FinTech company. It's surprising that I got in, but didn't take it seriously. I had it in mind that the application wasn't legit. But it did work out and I'm glad.
