I'm learning Rails again. I want to switch careers and become a Rails developer though I know I've a long way to go.

Worked my way through this fantastic tutorial on turbo streams then spent this afternoon building a toy app. It's an up hill struggle but I'm feeling more confident, little by little.

I am usually very anxious during interview. This is the very first time, I enjoyed the whole interview process and never felt anxious even when I didn't answer few questions correctly. It was a big win for me.

At a recent virtual tech meetup that focus on presenting a personal project to others I was able to demo 5 small projects built over the last few weeks to practice React, building with pure Vanilla JavaScript, and learn TypeScript.
series of small projects:
▪ Pomodoro Clock (Converted React to TypeScript)
▪ Tip Calculator (React)
▪ Product Creation UI (TypeScript)
▪ Episode Listing (React and Vanilla JS)
▪ Range Slider (React and Vanilla JS)

One additional project was shown off to help explain to others how "Higher Order Components" work with state management in React.
▪ Fantasy Football (React)

I really loved the feedback and the follow up discussion on different types of database you can use with personal projects.

Last Friday I made the decision to write a static analyzer for PHP in Rust, so I can better understand Rust. I can happily say I'm starting to like how helpful the compiler is.

Github link to project.

Very cool! That sounds like a good way to dig into the language. And of course, here's my obligatory: you should consider writing about this on DEV! Haha, I don't mean to push ya into it, but that does like a pretty cool topic and I bet we'd be down to share your post over our Rust focused Twitter account here. If ya do end up writing on it, please shoot me a message back here so I'll know to tap our social team.

I'm a front-end developer for half a year now and now I managed to find a decent job. I carefully searched for vacancies and a couple of days ago I was hired here ibench.net/. Cool platform by the way, I didn’t know about it before
