I've been wanting to work at Google. In Jan 2020, I tried applying for the fifth time, and after COVID-19 hits, I tot that this is not going to be the year but low and behold! I got the offer and accepted it! I am starting my role in Google on 31st Aug! Dream came true! I wrote more about it in this post: dev.to/lawrey/i-m-offered-a-job-in...

I had a week off work this week, and I spent it diving back into Swift, starting to write a mac app that I may or may not ever finish, but I've really enjoyed myself.

I started to clean a abandoned skate park for that everyone can skate in there, also I started to get down more very cool skate tricks, I finished a repo with a little BashScript to improve the Termux app, I started a telegram channel in which I share BashScript hints and useful snippets of code, I recycled trash and with that started to make a very cool project using trash and Arduino, and today I bathe early 😉👍 and almost I forget I become this week in lacto vegetarian, I have like 4 days without eat meat

I submitted my first image to the DigitalOcean Marketplace and it got accepted! You can now create Laravel Droplets with 1-Click!

Nice! I already used it actually :D

Bobby Iliev • Aug 8 '20

That's awesome! Happy to hear that you've already tested it.

I've submitted a new version with a small fix but let me know if you notice any problems in the meantime!

I started to earnestly dive into NES game development (in assembly)! I've been reading, taking notes, and working on recreating the game Pong!

I also reduced my time on Twitter and IG last week, and have been steadily replacing that time with books 📚

I just finished my Bachelors Degree, and my senior project was building an NES game! It is really fun, and I'm not quite finished with my game. How are you finding Assembly? My background is primarily web development, so it was a pretty huge (and challenging) departure for me.

Jesse • Aug 12 '20

I really like it, tbh! I think it's cool to talk almost directly to the computer. Assembly is a lot different than what I'm used to as well (LISP languages); it's challenging for sure, so I'm just taking it one step at a time. The community is welcoming, and the content they produce is so unique: their passion is really infectious and it pushes me to keep going 😃

Had this week off from work. I imagined I’d want to sleep and watch tv and movies but what I really wanted to do was something I couldn’t regularly make time for: online learning!

I started working on FCC’s APIs and Microservices certificate and started a React project I’m excited about.

I watched the movie Captain Fantastic and it made me disengaged even more with the capitalist ideas of labour. Even the week is an economic construct organized around the idea that in order to have 2 days of rest you need to sell your soul for 5.

I also completed reading Fernando Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet, continued reading from The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, and started reading/listening to Watership Down together with my 8 year old.

Oh and I wrote this:

The Illusion of Innovation in Web Development

I adored this movie. Really moving and honestly made me think a lot about how I want to raise my kids one day — maybe not exactly like Vigo did in this movie, but I definitely want to borrow certain aspects if I ever decide to have kids.
