I completed my second Hacktoberfest!
I also got my One Year Club badge here, but found that (much to my embarassment) I haven't written a single post in that time. :(
I hope to report next week that I have made a worthy post.

I was able to handle a task using GraphQL,AWS Amplify, ReactJS and Gatsby. I didn't know anything about any of those technologies and I finished my task and a little bit more. I even created a webhook to our Amplify built that gets triggered when we publish data in our CMS
