My open source eBook on how to get started with Bash scripting got 1k stars on GirHub during the first week after its release 🙌

Congratulations. It's a big achievement
Thank you! I appreciate that!
congrats, that's pretty cool!
Thank you Jen!
Hey, nice work thanks.
Which software did you use for writing this ebook???
It is nice 😊
Thank you for the feedback! I used a PHP cli script called Ibis, it is opensource and you can use it to generate light and dark mode exports of your eBooks:

After 15 years in the technical side as a developer, I jumped into a management position.
It won't be the first time for me to lead a team, but it will be the first time I have direct reports in a "non-technical" position. Looking forward to the challenge and the new tasks.
Good luck! Did a similar move this year, but I still miss most of the code part. Think that is why I started doing a lot more projects on the side to keep me busy and connected.
I do the same. Giving up development was always the downside but over the course of the past 5 years it happened organically and lead me to where I am.
Thanks! I'm both excited and nervous. Any tips after you went through a similar process?
Yay! Congrats to you!!
Thank you! 😊
Did the same recently, with about the same amount of experience behind me! What a coincidence.
Good luck with the new challenge!
Thanks! Congratulations and good luck to you too :)
Well done Alvaro! Huge congrats on the new position! 🥂
Thanks!
I donated blood :) It made me happier and satisfied
I learnt and implemented that how to fetch an self created API in JS using 'async await'
and was able to display content of API on UI using react component.
It felt great because First time I was able to connect frontend with backend 🚀🐧🤗
Got my first "Buy me a coffee" donation for my open-source Gatsby font loading plugin, alongside a very kind and supportive message!

Gestures like that really make the whole effort worth it!
Happy Friday! I got to know about Advent of Code this year and manage to solve 2 puzzles, moving on to the 3rd puzzle and more...
Yes its super cool. I also got to explore it after seeing Ben's post.
Too cool, I wish I knew about this earlier. I love how the little puzzle story is unfolding as well!
Nice job, keep it up!
I got my hacktoberfest 2020 badge and I'm really excited about it. This is my first badge in Dev and wanna collect more badges in near future.
Me too! (Althoug it's my second badge, but it still feels so amazing! 🤩) I want to collect more badges too! 🥳
Wow great 🤩
I had two big wins this week if you look at it that way - both are labors of love and I learned (and will learn) a lot in the process which makes me happy!
First - we finally get to kick off a series of free online workshops on visual storytelling run by some creative community folks!! I am a long-time fan of sketchnoting and especially in 2020 I think it's key to have these outlets for self-care and introspection. In any case, I wrote about it here:

Second - I launched a #100DaysOfCode effort to learn Kotlin and share my learning in public from basics to cloud integrations. And what really made me happy was discovering the mkdocs static site generator and its material-mkdocs theme and realizing that it was perfect for my needs. I just launched my kotlin.fyi site and hope to write about my mkdocs experience in a post very soon to share here.
It's a good day and I want to treasure this.
Finally got my college email id from nitt.edu and applied for github student pack.
Once its approved I am gonna go balls deep into software development with react and testing with browserstack for absolutely free.
Browserstack is a superb product to use for testing our websites.
I am also going to get three domains for free with the pack.
Decided to create a gatsby blog also with the free domains.
Wanted to learn video editing so, I started to learn video editing this week with davinci pro and now I know a lot about the basics of video editing.
Hey that sounds awesome.
Might be worth looking into if your uni does student creative cloud licenses, I know premier pro is an amazing tool to have
I accepted a job offer! 🎉
Congrats ! ☕👏🏼
Awesomeness! Congrats, Dana!
