Finished writing my longest tutorial guide yet about making a REST API.

Im pretty new to backend stuff so this was hugely beneficial in helping me learn a lot of stuff by writing a guide.

👆 This! Writing a tutorial/guide for others, or in general preparing to teach a new topic to someone else, is one of the best ways to dig deep on a topic and learn it really well

One of the projects our team is working on is providing a Windows implementation to the open source Envoy Proxy project.

Yesterday, for the first time in months, we got our fork of Envoy to compile on Windows!

Two wins this week!

I got my tech blog's RSS feed set up and working, so I can cross post to here. :) Super excited about that!

Also started running again a few weeks ago (doing a Garmin training plan to build up to a 5k) and hit my longest run tonight - 2 miles! 1 mile doing 30 sec run / 30 sec walk intervals, then 1 mile during my warm up / cool down. Haven't gone that long in a very long time!

Do you happen to have a favorite tutorial for setting up an RSS feed? I'd like to do so myself - but resources are surprisingly scarce, hard to follow, or immediately jump to using a service

I don't, unfortunately. :( I'm using the framework Gridsome for my blog, so I used one of their plugins for RSS feed functionality, & fiddled around with it until I actually got back the right information. lol

Are you using a specific framework for your blog, or is it self-hosted / hosted somewhere else? I'd be happy to see what I can help you find if you'd like!

Seeing the GIF featured in this post was definitely a win just now!

The good thing about working from home is you can laugh as loud as you want. 😆

Launched a project that I've been working on for the past 6 months: Divjoy, a React codebase generator. Haven't really promoted it yet, but it feels good to have it out in the public 😊
