I'm starting learning (and teaching 😄) clarinet 🍾.
I also merged some PRs in my projects, some of them where actually of very good quality!

I also managed to not fix things myself (well, I pushed a minor fix to make my swig fork work, but that's all), which is a win.

Overall, this was very good.

Can relate, reviewing contributions has been pretty insightful.
I hope it's only the beginning.

Yes especially it's fun to see optimized code which you haven't thought of, and from next time, you can also write such beautiful code 😃

I manage Atlassian apps for my company and we faced an issue with emails for a month which was a known bug on Atlassian without a resolution. I did some digging and figured out Atlassian's internal api and fixed the issue

Today I've officially launched my first online class: Your $10k Resume

I wrote about the imposter syndrome I've been feeling cooking this up the past week or two, but I got it out there.

I decided to go for it after I did a listing here on dev.to and on twitter looking for 5 people who wanted a 1-hour resume consultation. I got 4 people to sign up in 24 hours. At the end I asked them to pay what they wanted for it, and they did!

I treated that as an indication this is worth more of my time.

The revisions I've made during the last year to Ruby documentation have now been released in Ruby 2.7.2. Includes enhancements to docs for Hash, Array, ENV. I'll be linking to the doc pages in separate posts (Hash already posted).

I finished #100DaysOfCode this last week, so that felt pretty awesome.
