Since getting laid off at the end of August, it's been a tough market. Finally got an interview setup this week for Monday!

Also, been spending a lot of time on my blog and side projects, so very happy with how well my blog has been doing since coming back! Got a lot of people in my discord and building a pretty cool community so far <3

You did not understand me. I was asking if you will showcase your task to both companies. Your task is nice.

I created an open-source project in Rust (shuru - a task runner and Node.js/Python version manager), and weโ€™ve already gained 5 active contributors! Our Discord community has grown to 26 members and is continuing to expand ๐Ÿš€.

This week's win? Other than the web game challenge? ;)

I took a ton of satisfaction from those who got a chance to play my game and reached out to me with either feedback or suggestions. That interaction is why we make games! Also, I got a chance to really dig into the inner workings of ExcaliburJS and got a lot of cool ideas I want to try for Hacktoberfest!!!!

I almost had a month-long semester exam that ended on October 1st. Since then, I completed a personal project of building a voice assistant similar to SIRI with LLAMA3 with an additional image processing feature. I will start working on the blog right from tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜‹
