Congratulations!!!
congratulations! Please write a blog here about your journey!
Congrats!
That is awesome !
This week, I....managed to exercise every day! And got some awesome feedback from @peter :
Awesome! Don't you love how exercise clears the mind and holistically benefits? I think I am now addicted to walks a couple times a day.
This week, I manage not to overwhelm myself and stretch myself too thin by saying 'no' at work.
Nice! This is one of the skills that I wish I was a bit better at.
That is so important!
This week, I thought of a fun side project! Going to try to do it this weekend... stay tuned! ;)
I hope you wrote it down before you forget 😈😉
This week, I... learned how to set up SSL, disable TLS 1.0, and update our DNS settings without taking down production!!!
Gratz!! I am browsing basically the same waters (mostly SSL now), so any resources / links could be of a great help :) Once again - sincere congratulations :)
I should note that I've essentially done this with training wheels since we're on Heroku 😂 Here are the resources I used to set this up:
tracerouteto make sure my new DNS settings were in placeopensslfor confirming that we don't support TLS 1.0 was very useful.openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 -tls1 -servername google.comin particularGeneral docs that have helped me as I voyage into networking:
Can you please run down the steps you've followed to achieve this.
Sure! I'm using Heroku for this though, so a lot of the "hard stuff" was abstracted away. My basic process was like so:
tracerouteto check that domain resolves to the new SSL endpointheroku certs:removecommand from the CLIopensslor SSL Labs (takes much longer but is interesting)Hi Anna
I'm struggling with the same issue,
I meant to ask, what certificate providers did you use?
and does setting ssl-endpoint means that you have to renew it manually when the certificate expires?
and does this means that if our websites forces browser to use a secure connection that would be a down time if the certificate expires
I am new to this and I've read tons of articles which made me more confused
I built a snowman for the first time.
love it!
A+
This week, I.... made it through! Had a tough week with personal stuff on top of the stuff I normally do, and was stressed.
This week, I wrote an entire library with best practices and CI/CD in spite of high pressure from management and with a tight approaching deadline. Feels good at the end of the day to have done the right thing...
Congrats!
This week, I managed to re-engineer a SQL job that was running for more than 6 hours and make it run in 10 minutes!
We need a POST about it
Sure I would do that.
Nice! That's some serious time saved!! 🔥
This week, I replaced promise...then...catch with async/await in an app and took the time to throw relevant errors. It has made the code much easier to read. Next step is to add try/catch blocks to refine error handling.
I also ran 3 days this week (wish it would get warm! Hurry up Spring!)
