Huge thanks to everyone on the DEV team that I've worked with so far for making it a great experience!
Congrats Mr Jacob
I am agree with Jacob. Joincing to this community was very plesant and encouraged event of my week.
I got to speak at AWS Toronto Summit so it was my first official AWS speaking event.

Congrats and welcome Ms Jenna
Thank you!
You're welcome
Nice! What was the PR?
It was this big 'ol thing.
components/CaseTable.jswhich manages the dominant view (using React useContext)components/bodyview.jscontexts/casecontroller.jsresponsible for global app state (!!) including pre-initialized context providerCssBaseline) per best practicesstaticfor nowrfj_expungementis a tool being developed at Code For DC to help pro-bono (volunteer) lawyers. Rising for Justice holds clinics in Washington, DC where they help people navigate the surprisingly Byzantine process to clear their criminal records. If you have a criminal record (at least in the US) it can make it harder to get housing, a job, services, and more.The PR is meant to clean up the repo following the National Day of Civic Hacking, where we had a bunch of great contributors.

Great achievements! What's your project about?
Its a open source voice assistant for android.
Started posting on DEV and quite impressed with the whole platform.
I hadn't realized how much progress it has made since the "Medium for developers" days. There are so many little pieces of polish that end up encouraging discussion and interaction rather than the Medium-style wall of text.
The thing it actually reminds me of most is forums that I used back in high school. I have really fond memories of those and something has been lost between the distraction of Facebook, the real-time barrage of Slack, and the dopamine of Twitter.
Still getting used to the editor. I think I actually like it more than the Quora/Medium/WordPress editors but there are some little technical snafus I have had and still figuring out my workflow.
Hey about the editor part, for writing posts I’m using bear for macOS and iOS. I can really recommend it! Pro version is not so expensive ;)
I finally broke 200lbs. Numbers shouldn’t mean anything in terms of weight loss as it’s really about reducing your fat, but it was a goal I had set anyways. I did not measure my fat reduction during this period, but I can tell just by looking in the mirror and how my clothes fit, I’ve definitely lost a few slabs of bacon.
I’ve generally been active, but a few bad injuries including a calf tear last fall lead to the weight gain. It was a bit rough at the beginning as I was coming off an injury that took a while to heal, but busting my butt at the gym, sleeping more and eating less (not starving) got me here. No I am not a doctor, but this is what worked for me. 💪💥
All that to say, I’m starting to look more like this university pic minus the scary shaved head LOL.
This week I finished working on jamstack.systems.
JAMstack.systems is the presentation about fast, secure and dynamic sites built with JavaScript, APIs, and prerendered Markup, served without web servers.
Check it out
After lot's of hemming & hawing, I finally launched a newsletter in.snippets() where I share notes for articles that I read on a daily basis. :D

Nice!
Just gave a talk this morning at PyCon Balkan! I was suuuper excited but also a bit scared.
Google Search result showing my repo first page with "react typescript 2019" search words 🤖
I'm still maintaining/improving little by little, but I got a more motivation for new visitors and beyond 2020!! 🚀🔥

I did my first online video talk.
My video didn't work (only desktop sharing) and I got a classical Linux permission problem (which I solved in the end) but overall I think it worked out great. 🙃
I did my first online talk this week too! Congrats!
Not exactly my achievement I guess, but... thanks to this amazing community, I got contributions to my Open Source project (worked the last few years alone on the project). So for me, it's still unbelievable :-)
I decided to try keeping a journal again. I tried keeping a bullet journal earlier this year, but gave up on it. I think I was trying to do too much with it. This one is going to be for coding only, inspired by the recent series on keeping a coding journal.
I finished one coding challenge on exercism.com (waiting on feedback still) and my 5th one on hackerrank.com, all of them in 'C'.
Created my second opensource project
🚀#2 Made an OpenSource Markdown Editor ✨(PWA+Electron+Angular+Indexed DB)🎉.

I started a series of SQL challenges this week, and I'm posting them one day at a time here on DEV. It's been a lot of fun. The SQL tag doesn't get a ton of traffic, but I hope I can be a part of helping it grow!
We shipped a free web app that shows you how much time you have for deep work and how much time you spend in meetings (dev.to/bwb/deep-work-stats-how-muc...). That is about 2.5 months of work there so awesome to ship it!
And, we got featured on HackerNews / ProductHunt which was awesome :)
And, so happy to not be messing with Calendar APIs for a while now :)
We have launched NHL live translations at our service, I was responsible of making proper performance testing and setting all the necessary protection mechanisms in case of extremely big load and we're doing great so far.
I launched the redesign of my website!
I've made a demonstration in front of the whole company (70 people) of the new android app that replaces our old desktop gui to configure our exoskeleton via bluetooth.
We've been working on it for several months so I'm really happy to see the end of the tunnel!
It worked well there were no bugs so I'm really relieved!
We launched the alpha version of the new UI. This is my first product launch at my first dev job. Been a 6 month haul to get here, and I’m feeling pretty good.
Started my new 100% remote gig on Monday. Days one through three were a little overwhelming, but things started to click a little by Thursday. Completed one story on Thursday and merged into the release branch. Finished story number two today, will be merging Monday morning!
Got an offer from a company I've been looking at for awhile, feels good to be moving upward!
I went to Techorama in the Netherlands and had a great time!
Last year I had a major panic attack and ended up curled up against a wall in tears
This year, even with a few near misses with anxiety, I had the courage to speak to the closing keynote speaker before I left
What a difference a year of therapy makes!
After a year of conference abstinence to recover from a rough time for my business, I'm finally back on the conference circuit! I got invited to do a full 1h presentation about burnout and resilience at WordCamp Dublin in two weeks. Mental health is such an important topic, and I'm more than happy to share my experience. After that, I'll do the same talk in front of the huge DrupalCon Amsterdam crowd!
I got to know about, and used Policies in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox.
It is especially for administrative purposes and lets you control lot of things like homepage, startup page, blocked websites and so on.
No offense to Firefox, but I also felt that Chrome and Chromium provide better developer experience.
Here's a list of Policies in Chromium.
I started my new job as a WordPress and Web Developer!
It's a career change for me and came after 18 months of unemployment (I was downsized). Oh, and I'm 50 so don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it!
I petted a dog a posted some articles to DEV.TO :D
I started my journey to machine learning 🥳 MAybe I'll write something in the next weeks. It seems hard when you start and especially when you're not so good at maths but Google has some great resources for beginners (developers.google.com/machine-lear...). I'd love to be one of these programmers who can create amazing things like face recognition. Wish me luck 🍀
Hip hip hooray! I coded a
['hip', 'hip']array!Completed my 4 PRs for hacktoberfest.
I’ve published my first article about Swift memory management, and motivated by response I wrote second article and it’s already published! Thank you dev community for warm welcome!

Friday was my birthday and finally finished a Machine Learn with Python class!!!
I've got moved to a new Project in our team! That's my win because, for god sake, I hated that old project!
I was a special guest on a podcast. This is my first podcast appearance and I'm pretty thrilled about it. Episode dropping next Tuesday. 🎉
It ended! :D
Moved my "portfolio" with the university projects to a subdomain of my website.
Wrote a small "guide" about an assignment we had and shared it with the other students. They really liked it.
Fixing a really tricky bug...I was exhausted
Launched a small site I'd been crunching on for two weeks. Now to go home and pack, because I'm moving to a new apartment tomorrow!
I posted an article which was collecting dust in the draft Section. I thought no one would read it. But I posted it today and everyone seems to like it 🙌.
My first Hacktoberfest almost completed!
Started at a new work this week. Super excited!
I added continuous delivery to my Gatsby site! It's hosted on S3, and I used AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild to automate the build+deploy process. The best part is that it was surprisingly easy!
First tech talk at a local meet-up went well 👍👍
I got selected for the research project and will be working on Machine Vision there!
Converted invision/sketch prototypes to React elements for the first time. It was stressful but also immensely rewarding.
• Got a promotion
• Got a huge responsibility of working on fullstack project alone
• Published first post on dev.to
• Got 300+ followers on dev.to
I was one of the few people that made the first hacktoberfest meetup at my city, so I'm really happy about that!
Got approved on Upwork!
Wrote some more of my article and saw some nice dogs!!
Got my first PR to an existing open source. Feels so good :v
Oh yeah.. This week ,I successfully completed another week of my life.
Attempted pull requests for the first time ever.....its harder than it looks! 2 out of 4 merged though so that's a positive!
DEV is extremely helpful though and an excellent community!
