I've had a few little exciting peaks here and there including articles becoming popular, or people finding my github repos useful, but those tend to be really exciting for a little while but don't last.
The one that really sticks with me is from a person who reached out to me to ask for mentorship via the wonderful CodingCoach platform. They were so close to giving up on themselves and their dream of becoming a software engineer, but after working with them, they found their spark again, finished their learning and went on to get a job as a dev!
I was genuinely over the moon that I could help someone because I know what it's like starting out and it can be a tough, lonely road.
That's easy: contributing to open source and actually having people notice (and contribute back). A close tie is/was feeling appreciated on dev.to. I appreciate the culture and positivity that is fostered here.
I had at least a couple such moments:
5 servers in total, frontend vuejs to consume graphql api with jwt, backend laravel with graphql doing API, 400 workers processing 100k of requests day, doing web scrapping on 5 or 6 sources and communicating by pusher, mysql and redis.
all by me.
Recently when I realized every year that goes by, I am always ashamed of the kind of code I would write a year ago.
Ah the ole shame-to-pride maneuver. Keep it up!
