What was your win this week?

Hey folks! šŸ‘‹

Hope everybody is having a fantastic Friday and that you all have wonderful weekends!

Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

All wins count — big or small šŸŽ‰

Examples of 'wins' include:

  • Starting a new project
  • Fixing a tricky bug
  • Carving a pumpkin šŸŽƒ

Put your weekend face on! šŸ˜Ž

Cartoon — An old stiff pulls themself apart revealing a fluffy dancing red character in black pants and the screen starts flashing in multiple colors. The word Friday is above the character at all times.

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.

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...

Installing Fedora! I'm really liking it!
Although there are some hiccups it's an amazing distro!

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 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. šŸ˜†

Well... that could be a nice idea for the next time šŸ’”šŸ„·šŸ»

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

Finally got arangodump and arangorestore to work šŸŽ‰

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 šŸ˜›

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