Heh, at work, it's certainly more on the side of having time to do side projects or administrative things rather than heavy feature work. Since our process involves a minimum of 4 people (dev, reviewer, QA, accepter) and there's only 3 in the office the rest of the month, the work we're taking on is super minimal (and our PM will have to remotely accept stuff).
At home, I'm balls to the wall trying to have a productive year-end. Planning out blog posts I'd like to do in 2020, buying Def Leppard tickets for my 28th birthday 🤘, checking calorie counts of all the holiday party wares, setting up a Notion environment (with the free student account) to keep track of ALL THE IDEAS, and playing the Fallout 76 holiday event.
Same energy I'm closing the year with 😄
How is fallout 76 post fallout?
So I decided to complete some courses on FreeCodeCamp and so far it's been fun. I recently completed the API and Microservices section and got my certificate on it, right now I'm on the Javascript Algorithm and Data Structures course, and it's really been fun so far for me.
Saved up some PTO and am taking a nice long 2 week break starting this Friday. Going to go to the Oregon coast for a bit and do some camping.
I try to keep the end of the year as a time to rest and assess the past year and make goals for the year ahead.
I like to take this slower time of the year to do spring cleaning on documentation 🙂
I've been wanting to use the phrase "spring cleaning" in a similar way but felt like it wasn't the right phrase 😄
"Housekeeping" may be a serviceable term.
Ah, spring cleaning has been a ritual for me every December since young, so the phrase came naturally. Though these days I sometimes use the phrase "Marie Kondo-ing" my code / documentation / etc. :D
Wait, I'm supposed to "wind down"?
The vibe is very frustrated. Project(s) I'd queued up for the quiet period did not kick off in time, and it's left me in the lurch.
Getting anything new going at this time is difficult, because there's no urgency.
it's a great way to start, but not for someone new to the API and Microservices keyword or technology, there are no explanations on what Microservices or APIs are. I would advise a person to read up a few things on API and Microservices before taking the course just to get some theoretical idea on what it's about. FreeCodeCamp is a great resource nevertheless.
So personally, it's great because I checked out the meaning of these keywords, saw some tutorials and wrote a couple of things myself
Gonna take some time with my family. We were thinking about going out-of-state, but we decided to stay home this time. Just gonna spend time together, do chores (the ones that never end), and maybe go to a nearby park or 2 during my time off.
And then it starts all over again! 🙃
2019 was great. I learned a skill, which I'm gonna use my entire life. ReactJS!
Stepping towards cloud native by learning Kubernetes
I've also learned Docker
Doing all this, because one day, I want to be like you @ben . A founder!
Keep it up buddy 🙂
No hope of actually winding down for me; My wife and I are on baby watch expecting our third child...
That said I'm finally joining the rest of the web dev world and learning some React.
