My win this week was finally understanding how my customer's WooCommerce WordPress site was (not) supposed to work. I made a post to share my learnings:
Should we use WooCommerce Block Theme Syntax in 2022?

I completed the Hacktoberfest challenge!
My win this week is I create this product with no code tool in a day and got 100+ upvotes on Produt Hunt. You guys can still support and see.
I made fReddit - explore your interests with joining subreddits. I curated more than 300+ subreddit.
ProductHunt - fReddit
Thank you.
Fixed another accounting bug in my new position and everyone is going to get paid correctly :)
Damn. There goes my $1m end of year bonus...
π
LOL!!! seriously!
Finished writing my debugging book it's already on Amazon although no cover art yet. Publish date there will probably be much sooner...
Started working on a new course and did an online conference. All this while on a trip in Goa with constant power outages.
I had a quite difficult meeting on the job, and created the "weapons card" for dire moments, as an answer to the classical "planning poker" in Agile.
(maybe I should have saved this pun for a post, but I'm quite too tired to prepare it this week π΄ )
Haha!! Brutal! Love it.
For a second I was thinking that the weapons were in the shape of letters and spelling something out. I sat here for a few minutes puzzling before I realized nahhh, that's not happening. π
Well... that could be a nice idea for the next time π‘π₯·π»
but no, the guys just got the joke and it helped.. a bit.. against the stress.
I delivered 3 conference talks at 2 conferences, including my first out-of-state conference!
Woaaa!! 3 talks in 1 week. That's awesome!
Yeah, I've done two in a week before at the same conference, but never two conferences in the same week. Felt like a seasoned pro.
I managed to get T-SQL to render an HTML email using Vue/angular style binding and interpolation against an XML data set. It also supports multiple nested levels.
I also wrote code to take an XML datamap and apply it against a flattened dataset to produce the XML expected by the email template
Time for a lie down...
Finally got arangodump and arangorestore to work π
Arangodb doesn't have many hosting solutions, and the ones that exist arent very mature (except for the official one, which is expensive). I didn't have a way of running imports/exports through the dashboard, and it doesn't help that the error messages aren't descriptive when you try to perform them manually over the wire. Just cryptic things & docs don't make them any clearer. Wrong port? Wrong protocol? Wrong hostname? Wrong password? Who knows π
So it was a lot sparse trial and error over the course of the week until it finally worked lol
My win this week was that I started open source contribution. I successful merged 4 prs under hacktoberfest.
Looking forward to contribute more
