I am planning a hackathon in the company. Planning is almost done this week. It's execution time.

Very big week for me and a great way to end the 1st half of 2023

• Celebrated my 7th ITIL certification anniversary
• Celebrated my 10th PMP certification anniversary
• Received my MS Build 2023 free exam voucher -Renewed my SC-100 Cybersecurity Architect Expert exam
• Recertified my ITIL4 Foundation exam. This led my workforce training program to enroll me in Scrum Fundamentals Certified

I "pitched" (lighting talks, less than 5 minutes each) 2 of my blog posts at my local developer group earlier this week. Hard to put everything in such a short time but interesting format. Now pondering whether I'll submit a proposal for the devfest next December (and if so, on which topic!)

This week was a good one! First and foremost, joined up with y'all. I'll get the proof copy of my book tomorrow, should be unreal holding it in real life. Super excited about that. Also unexpectedly had a coworker reach out and start a formal mentorship this week, honored.

Used AI to improve my video game mods.

I ran the first session of my workshop Learn React the Modern Way 💪
It was amazing, the warm feedback is great, and as I expected I was exhausted at the end of the day 😅 (talking for 6 hours is something!).
Can’t wait for the next session!

• Using Azure Application Insights to trace a cascade of error propagation through some apps.
• Getting Graylog (w/mongo & opensearch) working on my home system and getting several systems to log to it. This is a discovery project to investigate the possibility of removing the Scavenger Hunt of logs for our BSA/TSA support people.

After putting it off for quite some time, I finally got around to learning the basics of building microservices. It was way more fun than I expected and I was extremely ecstatic after sending the first API request and getting back an expected response.

I also wrote a series of articles for anyone else who might want to get started with microservices - dev.to/sainig/series/23469

My win this week was that I joined you.
I think that has to be said as well.
It's great that this community exists.
I love being a member and posting great guides from my projects, so I'm waiting for the first comments & reactions too!

Wow! We are so happy to have you.
