I had 3 awesome interviews for full time engineering roles this week, one of which was a final round interview and I got awesome feedback from the recruiter. Crossing all my fingers and toes I get good news next week ๐Ÿคž

Hey Gracie...

Good to see your Friday post :-) hope you had a great week!
This week, I made good inroads to learning React library. But, more importantly I was running out of time to come up with my weekly article for dev.to.
As I was wondering what to do, I saw a video tweet on an excellent Javascript tip from a fellow developer Simon & collaborated with him to publish my first collaborative post ever!!
Here's the link to the post -> dev.to/skaytech/making-an-argument...

Quiet a few experienced devs told me that it's a great tip. I loved this post because it kind of opened up possibilities of ideating with others & I'm loving every bit of the synergy :-)

Thanks to you guys to have created this awesome platform and kudos to you to have such wonderful speeches by experienced devs all over the world..well done!!!

My wife and I decided to move to Buenos Aires, Argentina! We've been there for our first anniversary and loved the city. It is also not so far from Rio so we expect lots of friends and family visits.

That would never be possible if it weren't for remote working, I'm so excited! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท

I finally got the courage to write my first blog post on dev.to after being a member for 1+ year. It's been an awesome effort, and I really enjoyed it -- along the way I learned new things, figured out that writing posts is waaay harder than writing code, got myself someone more experienced to review it and help me with wording (but not make it formal).

Finally, here it is!

Congrats, may this be the first of many more to come! Yes, writing posts is harder than writing code, but (to me at least) it helps me understand the code with more depth rather than just copying and modifying from documentation/tutorials/code samples.

Wow...seeing the words , "writing posts is waaay harder than writing code" I realised I am not the only one.. way difficult than even naming variables..

Btw, congratulations on your first post and keep writing ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ

I finally installed Ubuntu on my laptop! I've wanted to do it since I got my first laptop back in like 2011, but never ended up making the leap. It finally came time for me to retire my XPS 13 as my daily machine, so I backed up the hard drive and went to town with a clean Ubuntu install.

The story so far: I love it. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this OS.

Linux was the first operating system I ever installed. That was a long time ago.
