Thank you Dumebi 😊😊😊

Well done 👏 What was your experience like? I'm at 80 sent applications 10 interviews, 3 offers I didn't accept and 6 rejections for the roles I really wanted. It's getting exhausting

[Jake Lundberg]

Sadly, your experience sounds very familiar to a lot of other engineers I've talked to over the last few months...and mine wasn't much better. I submitted over 120 applications, received lots of rejection emails, had 19 total interviews between 5 companies of which I was rejected by 3 of them. I was in the last part of interviewing with the 5th when I accepted the offer from the 4th.

The process is really rough right now. Especially when you compare it to a year or 2 ago. With all the layoffs that have gone on over the last several months, there are a LOT of engineers out there looking for jobs. I've seen some positions with more than 1000 applicants 😬 It's really hard to stand out in a crowd like that...

Congrats!

My project is moving from AngularJS to Web Components. I started learning about Web Components and Reactivity in JS.

I'm exploring any JS library that can add Reactivity to my JS codebase.
I found an excellent article about Reactivity

[Ashe]

Started a small personal project a little while ago and it's done and up on github :)
Banksy. The documentation definitely needs some work but it's nice to have something I can point to on my resume that i made :)

[Michael Tharrington]

Oh awesome, Ashe! I almost expected it to be about the graffiti artist, haha. Anywho, congrats on getting this one up and running. 🙌

[Khair Alanam]

I had a really good morning and a really good hot cup of tea =D

[Michael Tharrington]

Cheers to that! ☕️ (got a good cup of joe in my hand this AM 😀)

[Khair Alanam]

That's awesome :D

[Elizabeth Villalejos]

I think my anxiety in interviews has gotten a bit better. Also I got 6 interviews this week.

[Michael Tharrington]

Woot! Wow, that's a heckuva lot of interviews, Elizabeth. I hope those interviews all go well (you got this!!) and that you find something good.

Started studying for certifications; continued studying tech courses; designing and shaping the basics of new projs.

[Dumebi Okolo]

• I wrote an article about my struggle with Impostor syndrome and the steps I'm taking to get better. The article blew up more than I anticipated it would. Makes me very happy.

• I attended my first Dev mod meet up, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

Not been my best week, but it was a good week at all. ❤️

[Matt Ellen-Tsivintzeli]

I have created a proper dad joke of a meme for Meme Monday next week. Looking forward to the cringe-laughs.

I love rats, so rat gifs are always a win :D
