Billions of unnecessary files in GitHub

In 2023 I want to help developers to find jobs that match better what they want to do with their careers. This is something I would have needed when I was young so I was looking forward to do it next year.
Or at least I thought that would wait for 2023. But I stumbled upon a handful of fine people who wanted to switch jobs. I had a cafΓ© (virtual or with caffeine) with them and we talked things through, I had fun doing that and they found it useful. Going like this from 0 to 1 felt great.
Created 9 new videos for YouTube and my online course. Reviewed the final edit for my book. This makes it feel very real.
Submitted 3rd chapter for the new book. It was a long and hard one...
Wrote a nicely viral LinkedIn post.
Started the work on two new free courses in my YouTube channel. One for Java beginners and one for modern Java programming.
That's awesome! Well done!
My win is vacation starts today! Looking forward to some downtime to recharge.
I published an article about the concepts behind modern frameworks that was my best-received article on here to date.
Also, I am currently recovering from a bad case of flu. Take that, influenza! I kicked your RNA right out of my system!
Finished a deep reinforcement learning nanodegree
I also reimagined an old machine on Linux Mint 21.1 because Udacity wasn't maintaining the course properly on Windows
I also got offered my first contract writing opportunity on data science topics
Finally, I started thinking about educational gamedev opportunities in the new year
I got 8 week streak badge! π
Finally finished my blogging automation tooling, so I can publish to my personal site and it automatically uploads to DEV/Medium/Hashnode as well, with keywords and metadata.
DEV and Medium were ok, but damn why does Hashnode API have to use GraphQL π₯²
Exercised every day!
I released the first Release Candidate of wj-config, version 2.0.0-rc.0. It is readily available for download from NPM and the repository has an updated example of use in React. Currently working on upgrading the examples for NodeJS.
Not many but I enjoyed them
I have 3 wins this week:
β’ Receiving a free code for a Project Management Institute course which the personal development units can go towards renewing my Project Management Professional certification
β’ Microsoft US Partner doing a courtesy exam voucher processing because I forgot to complete the Cloud Fundamentals training survey
β’ Receiving my Azure Cloud Week for Partners free exam voucher
I made my first-ever landing page (which I'm planning to blog about tonight!) making it the first front-end project I've done (at least one that I actually finished π ).
Congrats π
