Discussion
I work for a small software development company DITDOT and we have released our open source project we worked very hard on ditdot.hr/demo/vff/quiz/. It's a form generator built with Vue you can use to create multi-step conversational forms, surveys, quizzes and you can integrate it into your site or app.
The guys did 99.99% of the job, but I'm still super proud of 0.01% I've contributed (it was my first open source contribution ever!) and it's great to be the part of the open source community. Here's another demo ditdot.hr/demo/vff/questionnaire/
So, support us and give us a star on GitHub github.com/ditdot-dev/vue-flow-form or contribute. I'll buy you a coffee next time you're in Croatia :)
Many people seem interested in my book ๐ Buiding Your Mouseless Development Environment.
50+ signup to my newsletter this week and, more important, many questions and encouragements from wonderful developers! ๐ฅฐ
My motivation went through the roof ๐
Got away from vacation mood and started writing articles again.

Congratulations
Caught it in the newsletter!
Congrats!
Thank you very much!
Updated my LinkedIn, resumรฉ, and website in order to apply to a certain front-end position ๐
Website looks good! By the way, the links for the hashtags/categories on your articles are incorrect, should've been preceded with
/t/, just a heads up.Hey briwa, thanks! I'll fix it up ๐
Your website is really clean. I love the font!
All the best!
Thanks, Ramit! A friend of mine designed it and I built it with Gatsby :)
May I say that you and your friend have a really sensible taste for fonts?
Made my very first webinar (teaching HTML, CSS) for ~100 people yesterday, that was a great experience.
I received my Beloved Comment badge and was featured in Top 5 DEV Comments from the Past Week.
But a more important victory, people in my engineering departement have been doing great recently.
Junior devs have grown to become middle levels. By now they all have a couple of successful projects under their belts, they have learned a lot and even had time to write some great articles on dev.to about psalm, react hooks cheat sheet and even about The basics of using the delegation pattern.
Middle levels are taking on more and more responsibility and are slowly walking down the path towards seniority and leadership. They are already very strong individually and in time, will make great technical leaders. I am really proud of them, they have great potential.
Our top talent senior engineers who left us in April, considering a career change after their 5 year mark, decided to return back to us this week. This victory is special to me, it is a statement about the culture in our organization and a very positive feedback signal.
My little "agenda" in all of this, is that I can take my vacation starting today, knowing that operations will continue to run smoothly while I'm away. Getting to this point was hard, but feels extremely liberating now.
Dear team members, thank you ๐
Started a new job \o/
I coded for fun this week! It felt like it had been a while.
I built Candy Crush following Ania Kubรณw's tutorial
Candy Crush build with Javascript, CSS and a whole lot of sugar
And made a palindrome checker from scratch.
Insert a string and see if it's a valid palindrome.
I finished working on my post which started as just translating to english and become a major rewrite.
And got 3000+ views. ๐
Write clean code without loops
Gave my 1st interview of life, was grilled on Java :)
It was a great experience giving an online interview. I do need to learn alot of things from the interview's point of view. Dev's posts helped me alot for preparation !!
Today, I published my first article.
dev.to/statst/how-i-deployed-djang...
Moved cities for a new job! (and for personal reasons) Definitely excited
On a smaller scale:
I've made Awesome Libs - iPhone app that allows you to test open source UI components without Xcode. You don't need computer, you don't need compiler. You simply test libraries in your iPhone so you can see how they work in real app. Awesome Libs includes built-in demo screens and Appetize.io online simulators.
You can download free version (which is open sourced under the MIT license) and paid version which is more powerful. The difference between free and paid versions is described here.

I started my first day at Google and living my dream working in this great company!
Finally wrote another post for here/blog after wanting to get back to writing for over a year :)

I now have to make it responsive ๐
By the way, I'd really like lot of people reacting on Gwion development, so if you're interested, let me know!

Here's my win for the week. I saw one of these electric scooters when I was deployed in Singapore for work in 2015 and really wanted to buy one ever since. But because of the crappy jobs and expenses here and there, I wasn't able to save up to get one of these. ๐ And it finally arrived early this week. ๐๐๐
Side story on the paparazzi photo: I bumped into one of my village friends in the bank before buying foods and the next day, he sent me this. ๐ ๐ ๐
speaking of "Cleaning your house...", last week, I channeled my inner Marie Kondo and refactored a ton of code. Felt much better than actually cleaning the house. These days I feel more accomplished when I remove code rather than adding ๐ค Anyone relate ?
