Congratulations and good luck.
This week, I... started doing office hours with the tech community and it was a great way to meet people and learn from them! Also, a great way to break up the day working remote!
That's awesome!
I do office hours for my company's tech reps, too. It's a lot of fun. We should compare notes!

It's nice to be let out of the cage every once and a while, huh?
This week, I...had fun with this tweet:
🤗🤗🤗
That is a great way to get contributors on board fast :-)
This week, I made my first OSS pull request to this very site! Thanks to Jess for posting that on Twitter. I ALSO figured out how to scrape all of my full-size photos off of Facebook so I can finally leave that platform foreverrrr - and I think that might be my first blog post on Dev.to 🎉
Oh, I look forward to that post!
Please, make sure you write the post, been looking for a way to do this and on Instagram as well
This week, I made my first custom React hook. 🎣 Lots of fun and not that difficult.
Cool stuff Tom. You could even make a custom hook to wrap up all that logic. I made a simple demo here if you're interested. Sidenote, this is the first time I create a hook. 😉
This week, I...accepted an offer at a new company, quit my job and took an extra 2 weeks in between to recharge and rock climb in Yosemite!

Hoping to do The Prow and Lurking Fear!

Sat and Passed my Microsoft AZ-100 Exam!
Congrats!
Thank you, Peter!
This week, I...combined a quote API with an Anime Image API. The result is an Anime Quote Maker! It's easy for anyone to play around with, using random settings or aiming for something specific. codepen.io/max1128/full/VNPxOJ
Instead of a GIF, here's an image from the project in question. Took about three minutes of searching and adjusting to get it :D
This week, I lived through a really difficult meeting, and made a PR for dev.to!
This week, I convinced my company to Open Source a couple of libraries we have been working on. Hopefully the community will be welcoming and this will encourage us to open source even more!
The project is at github.com/Paciolan/remote-component if anyone wants to take a peek!
That’s awesome that you were able to convince your company to go open source. That must have been a difficult conversation. But way to go you for helping the community! Cool idea with the remote react component btw. It reminds me of the remote import features of Deno.
Surprisingly, they were all in. After getting the okay from the higher ups, management was on board!
Ya. It is kinda deno style. I just checked deno out a few days ago.
This week, I...participated in my second hackathon and wrote my first Dev.to post about it!!
This week, I... did a Conway's Game of Life in Elm without any testing. Once the compiler told me that everything was good, everything was.
Cool!!! Im jealous. I’m hoping I can start doing a similar thing with React + TypeScript. I admire elm a lot but I think my coworkers would die if they had to go full FP. TypeScript lets me write immutable, one-way-bound code but I can still make it look “imperative-like.” (But i kinda wish I was doing Elm). Have you tried using the Readonly types of TypeScript?
No I did not, I used TypeScript on my own and loved it but I was having weird problem. I think my comprehension of TS is not perfect. I’m not doing Elm at job either, only for personal projets but I wish we do. I’m currently moving my team from Ruby to Elixir which is already, some coworkers does not see the real benefits. With TypeScript or Elm we would have the same problem, when I talked about TypeScript, they told me « All it gives is type? What is the gain? »
I tried to explain but still.. Anyway, I will be working on a transition to TypeScript soon!
Yea you’re right. It’s hard to explain the benefits like immutability.
This week, I... decided to become more active on DEV.TO after lurking for too long AND I spoke at a conference, a thing I usually avoid because it scares me so much 😬
Wow, kudos to a great week!
This week, I was dealing with a major disruption issue on a client network caused by a new malware. It took a lot of diagnostics and effort to get rid of it. I posted about it this morning if you're interested.
