July 17th, 2020: What did you learn this week?

I learned a nice trick.
I often store my scripts in package.json but when I need to add dynamism to my script such as.
package.json - old

"publish": "yarn publish --newVersion 1.0.2"

You can use a node script to get the version and console log to get the output.

package.json - new

"publish": "yarn publish --newVersion $(node ./getNewVersion.js)"

getNewVersion.js

// Do stuff to get version
console.log(newVersion)

Stdout in action using JavaScript, sweet.
Pair that with $npm_package package.json variables as stdin and you have a nice workflow.

I've learned how to install KVM in Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 7 & 8.

Lately I have been trying to learn how to make an organizational chart using d3.js I have the nodes and paths along with the labels that store the information for those nodes. Feeling happy with my progress so far

This week I learned, that I'm not as strong in Javascript as I thought.

I had a mock technical interview this week as part of my Bootcamp and technically, scored 2/5 on Javascript fundamentals and 3/5 on current standards and frameworks.

It was humbling, but helped me to see that I need to circle back and refresh my knowledge of those core concepts. I know how to code, how to get done what I need to, but dictionary definitions and concepts I need to memorize / better understand for future technical interviews.

This week I learned how CSS clip-path works while working on an unpublished post.

The following article was really of great help:

Edit July 20, 2020: I published the article.
