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:

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 😴 )

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. 😆

Well... that could be a nice idea for the next time 💡🥷🏻

but no, the guys just got the joke and it helped.. a bit.. against the stress.

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 🎉

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 😛

So it was a lot sparse trial and error over the course of the week until it finally worked lol

In the spirit of celebrating small wins, I finally published my project website with vite to gh-pages successfully after several (...quite a lot...) attempts.
