My open source eBook on how to get started with Bash scripting got 1k stars on GirHub during the first week after its release 🙌
github.com/bobbyiliev/introduction...
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!
github.com/codeAdrian/gatsby-omni-...
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:
dev.to/azure/visualizeit-a-free-on...
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!
refactored my code... without breaking the test 😃
Yesterday, I finally achieved to release a first free version of a language localization pack for OpenCart that I had been working on for over a year...
😊
It's one of those 'Little things' weeks that made the difference.
Now it's time to make some content over the weekend and share the love of knowledge with everyone.
I got a new job as a React developer, I reached 10 000 total post views on dev.to and I gained over a 100 subscribers on my YouTube channel. Getting all the positive feedback really motivated me to continue working on my projects, writing and filming. It also gave me an oportunity to connect with a lot of amazing people from the community.
I made my project, Learningin.tech, a fully open source resource. Everyone can now contribute to it and start diving into the world of open source.
Wrote about it here as well - dev.to/thevediwho/how-to-start-con...
Wow at the gif!! 😮 😖😃😎👍
My win of the week happened late last night when I was trying to implement a navbar with a dropup content box, so youd have “hidden links” for a category within. Had to use a toggle button. And for mobile, it had to be a “dropup” instead of a “dropdown”, mainly because my navbar would be located at the bottom 😀and for desktop view it had to be within a bar to the left on a vertical (column) fashion.
After copying and pasting code from the internet, I succeded, but it felt more like I created a hack or a “work-around”, and also felt like I had a bunch of unnecessary code.
So I started again, reviewed the CSS from W3School, and started the Javascript from scratch. Again I was able to do it completely (first time I didnt went for the sidebar) The story here is that I was able to understand the Javascript and didn’t copied and pasted functions from the wild, I managed to “somehow” understand the concepts I consulted from the internet and adopted it successfully to my needs! 🚀
Special thanks to: youtu.be/54ioUruxkOw & youtu.be/IvQI49DMKuk for keeping me sane and in the mood. 🤘👍💪
My friends and I create our second set of videos!
The first set was focused on Auth0 but this one was based on my blog series about contracting. It was a lot of work but super fun too,
I am a software developer, and I switched the department. In my old team we are using php ( i am a php dev for over 10 years), but in my new team we are developing in java.
How ever, this week it was the first time i felt confident in what i am doing, and closed 3 Stories. Yes - they was maybe tiny and litle bugs for others, but it felt amazing to proceed "so fast" with a story, in comparison to the last month of learning and understand whats going on and begging for help on nearly every mini problem in configuration and setup and deploy)
The second thing is/was. I switched my window manager and smoothing out my genereal workflow and invest time in som shell scripts to automate some steps in my daily work.
I had a day off without something going wrong in production. Nearly two years of stabilising the current platform and writing support processes for the common things.
It's not that things would always go wrong, but with this year being strange, it was always a concern
I am studying algorithms in college and after struggling with it I finally grasped some fundamental concepts.
Great job, Dean! I'll be taking an algorithms course next semester, and seeing you post this is inspiring, reminds me it's possible to get through the struggle.
Thanks for the nice comment! This semester hasn't been that great for me so far but it's getting better gradually and I think I will become a better computer scientist after all this struggle. Are you a first year?
Yes! I'm about to finish my first semester of intro to C++. I'm doing it part time while I work, and I keep telling myself the same, that this will make me better!
That's great that you can gain experience while studying! I'm studying full time sadly and schoolwork is just a bit too much for me take on an internship rn.
I can't imagine working while studying full time! I'm lucky to be able to do it in parts, once class at a time.
Started a book I have been putting off for some time now -- The Intelligent Investor.
Always great to think back to what you did this week.
FrontMatterextension which allows you to make it easier to manage your Markdown articles. The latest version comes with a new panel for easier command execution and tagging. You can check it out here: VSCode Front Matter.Think that is it for this week. This was a great week.
Finished a quick project to build a slot machine web app to practice React. From start to finished in designing, developing, deploying to Netlify, and creating a READ.me on GitHub.
You can play at: smiley-slot-machine.netlify.app/

I resumed blogging & wrote a new article on how to set up Next.js with Typescript, ESLint, Jest & Tailwind CSS.

I am trying helping developers around the world by solving creating youtube videos. They post their problems in comments, I try to solve it first at my end, if I successfully solve it, then help them by creating video on the problem and solution.
Here is the channel link - youtube.com/c/TechTalksWithAK
Not a win but I had taken break from coding for a week in this quaratine time period. The coding sessions and all the project load from the college was getting very hectic. After taking a week off and resting, my mental health is much better and I feel motivated again. Hope everyone is doing their best.
I finally got around to making my first game, something I've always wanted to do! I used the open source game engine Godot which I highly recommend to anyone interested in game dev. I put together a simple game to submit for the itch.io Game off 2020 contest. The game is nothing special but just glad to have finally got started with game dev :)
You can see and download the game here. Also wrote about my experience of making my first game on my blog.
Started curating a list of questions which can come handy when preparing for FAANG interviews. I am going through LeetCode, HackerRank and GeeksForGeeks. Hopefully it might be of help to someone...

Started and finished a slide deck on image conpression, something that will benefit the team in presenting to greatly I think. It’s not something I’ve had enough time to sit down to do for a while so carving that time out this week was a massive win for me!

I started making YouTube videos after two years! This time I am determined to keep it up! 💪👨💻
I started by doing codemas videos, something like vlogmas, but with code.
I chose to do it like this because I want to stretch myself to find new topics everyday and push myself to continue.
Finding ideas is hard, so, I would appreciate your input, or any other feedback you may have!

When I put the setup together, I figured a similarity between doing videos, and programming:
Reaching 10.000 active customers for our intelligent test automation cloud platform. 🎉
After my decision to make a career transition from commercial side of a huge pharma company to a Cloud Solutions Architect position, I finally started my learning path from zero, it is not an easy thing, I know, but I'll achieve this. I am familiar with the tech / dev world once I was from IT team before to become part of the business team. I am very happy!!!
