My win this week was finally understanding how my customer's WooCommerce WordPress site was (not) supposed to work. I made a post to share my learnings:
Should we use WooCommerce Block Theme Syntax in 2022?

I completed the Hacktoberfest challenge!
My win this week is I create this product with no code tool in a day and got 100+ upvotes on Produt Hunt. You guys can still support and see.
I made fReddit - explore your interests with joining subreddits. I curated more than 300+ subreddit.
ProductHunt - fReddit
Thank you.
Fixed another accounting bug in my new position and everyone is going to get paid correctly :)
Damn. There goes my $1m end of year bonus...

LOL!!! seriously!
I had a quite difficult meeting on the job, and created the "weapons card" for dire moments, as an answer to the classical "planning poker" in Agile.
(maybe I should have saved this pun for a post, but I'm quite too tired to prepare it this week đŽ )
Haha!! Brutal! Love it.
For a second I was thinking that the weapons were in the shape of letters and spelling something out. I sat here for a few minutes puzzling before I realized nahhh, that's not happening. đ
Well... that could be a nice idea for the next time đĄđ„·đ»
but no, the guys just got the joke and it helped.. a bit.. against the stress.
Finished writing my debugging book it's already on Amazon although no cover art yet. Publish date there will probably be much sooner...
Started working on a new course and did an online conference. All this while on a trip in Goa with constant power outages.
I delivered 3 conference talks at 2 conferences, including my first out-of-state conference!
Woaaa!! 3 talks in 1 week. That's awesome!
Yeah, I've done two in a week before at the same conference, but never two conferences in the same week. Felt like a seasoned pro.
I managed to get T-SQL to render an HTML email using Vue/angular style binding and interpolation against an XML data set. It also supports multiple nested levels.
I also wrote code to take an XML datamap and apply it against a flattened dataset to produce the XML expected by the email template
Time for a lie down...
Finally got arangodump and arangorestore to work đ
Arangodb doesn't have many hosting solutions, and the ones that exist arent very mature (except for the official one, which is expensive). I didn't have a way of running imports/exports through the dashboard, and it doesn't help that the error messages aren't descriptive when you try to perform them manually over the wire. Just cryptic things & docs don't make them any clearer. Wrong port? Wrong protocol? Wrong hostname? Wrong password? Who knows đ
So it was a lot sparse trial and error over the course of the week until it finally worked lol
My win this week was that I started open source contribution. I successful merged 4 prs under hacktoberfest.
Looking forward to contribute more
My win this week is done writing all the articles for clients.
Decent article
13 steps for Authentication Flow in Backend
Installing Fedora! I'm really liking it!
Although there are some hiccups it's an amazing distro!
I got +300 downloads in my package on NPM
npm.im/quicky-server
In the spirit of celebrating small wins, I finally published my project website with vite to gh-pages successfully after several (...quite a lot...) attempts.
