I got my first engineering job! It's a 3 month contract and I'm an apprentice software engineering, but I'm so pumped!
That's awesome Michael!
Congrats and best of luck mate!
Thank you!
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 💥
Redid my website to include the crash courses that I've been posting 🎉

Then got 258 reactions to the ES6 one on DEV! 🚀

Good for you fellow developer 🙂
This week was a pretty good week! Has a whole bunch of wins, both programming related and not:
Great week!
Welcome to the home owner club!
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 😂)
Finally announced my new book series to the world (dev.to/deleteman123/new-book-serie...) and finished the second chapter! I'm halfway through the writing process, and starting some marketing strategies.. I'm so excited!
I bought a new
ish
car!It will make my ~50 mile commute a little nicer 🙂
I've submitted 2 PRs to Gatsby, and they were both accepted! A first for me!🥳🥳
Wrote small article on devs and got over 100 followers
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!
My winnings:
I managed to improve the application and upload a patch in the repo github.com/pajbot/pajbot
I lost 10 pounds.
I won by playing for fun and betting on a CS game. Star ladder in Berlin. I bet on Avangar only that without the handicap 400 usd ;-) esporttalk.org/t/new-legend-stage-...
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.
Last week I was notified that my talk proposal for GitLab Commit London was accepted. And now that my travel is scheduled I'm so happy to share it with you. It will be my first time in London and my first conference in English
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. 😂
Dark theme for (almost) everything
