I do have kind of a persosnal win. About an hour ago I wrote an article on dev.to about my first accessibility check on a website. The goal would be to now reach out to the owner of the website and the company actually applies these changes and therefore helping to make the web more accessible.

The feeling while doing this a11y check.. It felt so fulfilling, like, doing the right thing, doing actually something good. 💜

Thanks!
I'm creating posts in my mother language (Spanish), and I see a pretty hard to reach others in Spanish here... but I'm trying: I'm the Spanish tag moderator, and I see around 20 posts/week in Spanish.

We got another dedicated user on our twigflo.com application who shared with us "I'm telling everyone I can, I'm a believer" -- so we feel really good about that. It's not the kind of application people understand right away, it is designed to shift mindsets -- so every excited user feels really good to us.

Our team figured out automatic compilations and deployments of automatically generated Angular data grid frontends. Into a CDN network, delivering product in 0.8 seconds. The 15th of August my team is changing the face of the Earth 😊😎💪

I was finally able to solidify a Performance tool at work. Our platform is pretty solid and scalability is fairly well understood. When we have issues though the PE testing gets to be more specific.

Our test framework operates at the API layer and creates mocks for third party connection. This is perfect to covering different situations and Test stability/speed.

But Jmeter and other PE tools don't really expect to also manage mock while running.

So I wrote one a while back that used all the existing test tools. This week I was able to make the PE leavers customizabe, including the ability to delay and mocked endpoint.

This was extremely valuable to run many different scenarios over night.

Getting the COBOL track going on Exercism. It was more "our" win than "my" win. Without the team it simply would not have happened.
