It was a really tough week. I developed a sudden case of mastitis and simply could not shake a fever for about 12 hours. I really thought antibiotics would cure me immediately but I'm still feeling really crappy several days in. Anyway, MY WIN is that we were still able to launch DEV Challenges on Product Hunt yesterday, and that I still got most of the 'must haves' done this week. I'm also hosting family at my house for my baby's 1yo birthday this weekend so I'm looking forward to that even if I'm not fully myself yet!

I built out much of the structure for MattOnML.NET - not quite ready to fully launch it yet, but pretty soon!

Also, got 3 chapters to near final status on the upcoming book, "Data Science in .NET with Polyglot Notebooks"

I sent my first email to my newsletter subscribers (around 20 people) I took me a bit of hesitation to start it. I sent 5 links I found worth sharing from the past weeks.

I've completed and published my first GitHub App to marketplace this week. What a ride it was! I've also prepared posts on explaining how I prepared and learnt from it. Go ahead and check it out:

Just completed a Python automation script for Instagram post automation along with a blog post on it all today. I started working on the script months ago but didn’t have enough time to finish it. I’ll be posting it on DEV tomorrow. :)

Going to sleep now. Completely exhausted. Goodnight πŸ˜ͺ

Successfully installed Arch Linux on my PC (along with some annoying driver configuration), reconfigured i3 and picom a little bit, and I'm starting to move my Neovim config plugin manager from packer to lazy.nvim. Fun week.

In tech, I reached a kind of milestone in a game I'm making in Godot - you can now actually play it even if it's incomplete and pointless. You can move the player around and get points for things. I've re-written it a few times and learnt more each time and am committed to finishing it before moving on to more tempting ideas!

Outside of these walls I scrapped my car due to it being unbelievably not carworthy and was expecting to spend ages trying to get a replacement... but I ended up buying the second car I went to look at, which means I don't have to waste time and money on buses and taxis and so on during the search, and it also means I got something I really like.

Can you provide me some useful roadmaps for Learning Godot, since I am new to this.

Almost everything I've learnt so far has been from the official docs (and built-in help) and from watching Youtube videos from Brackeys and GDQuest who're both really accessible and have well-paced tutorials.
