Happy New Year! What was your win this week?!

👋👋👋👋

Looking back on your week -- what was something you're proud of?

All wins count -- big or small 🎉

Examples of 'wins' include:

  • Getting a promotion!
  • Starting a new project
  • Fixing a tricky bug
  • Putting the laundry away immediately (instead of leaving it in the basket!) 🧺

A cat washes clothes in a bin and hangs them on the line to dry.

Happy Friday!

I kicked off — and nearly finished — building my app for the “New Year, New You” challenge, and I’ve already written about 90% of the accompanying article.

In parallel, I updated and validated my three WordPress plugins against the latest 6.9 release — it’s always reassuring to ship code that’s tested on what people actually run, not on legacy versions.

And I managed to do all of that without cutting into the time I spend with my daughter during the Christmas holidays, which might be the real win here.

My win this week was to approach the New Year with a fresh commitment to learn coding, through a new account at freeCodeCamp, relaunching my GitHub account, and joining the DEV Community to ensure that I remain committed throughout the year ahead!

Technically last year, but, after trying dozens of ideas, finally decided on what I want my personal site to be. Minimal, authentic, me.

Tech: Next for static rendering, pagefind with mdx-based posts.

Also refreshed LLM ideas with Viktor Schlegel at an AI school and fixed a tricky styling bug with two flex-wrap classes.

Deleted my Go Gateway and rewrote it in C.
600 lines, one less language to worry about.
Small win, but feels good to simplify.
