I got my first engineering job! It's a 3 month contract and I'm an apprentice software engineering, but I'm so pumped!

I completed 2 new fun projects which are both time-related libraries written in TypeScript ☺️

github.com/analizapandac/convertib... and github.com/analizapandac/time-turn...

And my team was able to finish a big feature at work that we've been working on for weeks 💥

Thanks!

Still can't believe someone thought I'm responsible enough to sell a house to.

Never mind trust with a few hundred thousand dollar mortgage...

I made a new NPM package called projectman (github.com/saurabhdaware/projectman) which got 28 stars today and also wrote an article about it on DEV and it became my first article to reach 100+ reactions and it just makes me so happy to see people are liking it!

I also started learning Rust and wrote my first "Hello, World!" program in it! (I freaked out when rust threw an error for camelCasing function name 😂)

I survived a real rollercoaster of a week at work and started prepping a "lunch and learn" for colleagues on Gatsby 😁

I've got next week off work and looking forward to some good coding time... Maybe even finally updating my portfolio!

I finally managed to buy a standing desk that can be controlled electronically!

So much more fun to work from home a couple of days again and boosted my productivity a little.

Replacing my old setup with this one was a lot of fun on its own but it was more fun to work with the new setup afterwards 😊

Only need a second monitor again.

Recorded my biggest video section in a single day. S3 is brutal.
When making content its really hard to know what to not include.
There's always this phantom voice of others saying (we'll you can't leave that out!)

I made my first post here on Dev.to, I'm very happy, I postponed it for a long time. It's not perfect, but I need to fight perfectionism. 😂
