My job search is OVER! I start a new Software Engineer position the first full week in June!!!!!! (I'll post details on my profiles next week.)

Not a personal win, but the Forem team is starting to close the loop on some huge things.

• Core Forem open source hosting instructions are moving into the final stage of testing before a wider release (long time coming)
• The Forem iOS app literally just went live. We'll have a proper announcement early next week, but consider this an early heads up for those reading this. 😄
  • The Forem app is like a browser for the whole ecosystem, so once you start your own Forem anyone who wants to browse DEV on their device can also swipe to your Forem.

I reached 150,000 views on my small YouTube channel🎉

I started a JavaScript Twitch stream!

As some know, I co-host the DEV Twitch stream, and I'm also learning Rust on Tuesdays, but now there is some JavaScript goodness too.

In the inaugural stream, we covered:

• purpose of the stream
• some katas from jskatas.org
• object and array spread

Also, how was JavaScriptHours.com not taken!?

18:06 PM - 27 May 2021

I wrote 2 articles in 2 days

• Unit test your knowledge 💡 - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻
• De Java à Kotlin en 20 minutes 🇫🇷 - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Let's see....

• I got 2 new badges in dev.to
• For the first time, my server wasn't down this week!
• I got 2 new followers on GitHub! (github.com/manuthecoder)
• I figured out how to prevent script injections and implemented it on my site via htmlspecialchars() in PHP
• I added a custom labels feature in my web app
• And, I figured out how to to use opensearchdescription to make a custom search bar

  <link rel="search" href="https://smartlist.ga/search.xml" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Smartlist" />

I managed to get positions 1,2 and 3 for the #a11y tag for the month here on dev.to - I am a competitive so and so, it made me more happy than it should really 🤣

The worrying thing is that they are all angry rants - people are going to start thinking I am a monster! 🤣

I started blogging here and same goes on personal blog, will try to maintain at least 1 blog per week!
Fixed some architecture design issue at workplace, to make things more decoupled and easily accessible.

It was a great week TBH.

• I got a good opportunity as an author from a well known company mainly because they liked my DEV articles.
• My recent article received quite a lot of attention.
• Quincy Larson called me a legend in the daily.dev live session at around 47:00:00 minutes, mainly for my contribution to the freeCodeCamp news.
• One of my old clients came back after one year of silence, willing to revive an old dead project.

That's pretty much it 😊

I'm trying out the new sublime text 4, it has been quite nice so far.

Also, I learned a little bit about awk, just enough to make this silly little function.

Celebrating the blog content subsequent traffic. Love to see those graphs moving upwards
I finally reached 100+ followers on my medium profile as well as publication.

• Profile: singhsukhpinder.medium.com/
• Publication: medium.com/c-sharp-progarmming
• 8,641 per month on this platform with one post crossing 6k+ views. dev.to/ssukhpinder/dogecoin-mining...
• 55k monthly views on Pinterest in.pinterest.com/ssukhpinder

Completed a React JS course and built a project😊

Biggest win is -- I wrote my first ever DEV.to article.

I don't write much (read not at all or may be 1-2 blog post?) and someone suggested to start writing the story about the project I build recently and today (Sunday) was perfect for that 😎

• Pushed a really big update to a large legacy project to production. In the process, eliminated a large number of N+1 queries on the home page, removed a lot of messy legacy code, and significantly improved the type coverage and code style, thanks to Psalm and PHP Codesniffer
• Got my first vaccination

I participated in 11th NDN Hackathon and won most practical award.
Moreover, my project is deployed during the hackathon.

Apparently everyone won a different prize at this hackathon.

I got my first full time internship in backend developer role. Working with some amazing developers and learning lot of new stuffs lately.

I wrote 3 articles.

Helped a friend figure out the implementation of a tricky math algorithm.

Filipe Brandenburger

@filbranden

@lordcyphar Here's an example:
tio.run/##lVTfb9owEH5O…

Lightly tested and I might have missed some corner cases... But it seems to work.

Note that the division happens in GF(2) and not GF(2^32) and in EEA you only use the GF(2^32) multiply to calculate the inverse.

I hope this helps!

21:55 PM - 26 May 2021

Ended up sending him a pull request to get the last couple of fixes in.

Published a new post

I published an article for the 3rd straight week! Consistency ftw!

1. Returned to coding my side project!
2. Written unexpected blog post

It was a really good week for my productivity :)

Our company has 10+ developers. When a problem broke out. A guy on sale team tag my name specifically in the group chat for all developer directly to ask for advices. It shows that people notice what I am doing over a course of few months. When a problem breaks out I always the first to help them. It feels like I have build a trust relationship. I'm sure that is more responsibility could be the same money. But I feel a little happy when it happens.

I trained one day flutter+bdd course to the newbies in company for the first time. It was fun and I enjoyed the moments.
Another one, in coming Monday, I will be joining the new team with new tech stack and style. Really excited.

I created a lib for Angular...

ng add @ngneat/input-mask

npm install @ngneat/input-mask inputmask@5
npm install -D @types/inputmask@5

import { InputMaskModule } from '@ngneat/input-mask';

@NgModule({
  imports: [InputMaskModule],
})
class AppModule {}

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
import { createMask } from '@ngneat/input-mask';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root'

Spent the week at work sprinting to build a POC for a potential customer. Wasn't sure I was going to make it, but slid in right under the wire with a functioning feature 🤘

just released a big update to datorss.com, the best RSS search experience you can find.

Watched friends reunion

I finished my A-levels! My next year is a gap year where I intend to just work on personal projects, hoping to get through alot!

Not really a big win. But, I just recovered from burnout and can code again now.

Got a working beta version of an app to my customer on time and now having time for my fun project.

My first post on dev.to garnered a lot of appreciation. More than what I initially hoped for. Thanks for the platform.

Finished my first week at the new job. 🚀

I always wanted to build a personal site. Being a noob, i initially thought i must learn HTML and CSS completely. But later i found that we can build a static site using Github and Jekyll.
Having knowledge of markdown i started building the website two weeks ago. I'm not gonna say i have completely built the site, but i have made certain progress of which i'm proud of.
You can see the site here.

I always wanted to build a personal site where I could post my project updates, my achievements and all. Being a noob in web development I initially thought I have to learn HTML and CSS completely to build the website, but thanks to GitHub they help us to host personal website for free with GitHub pages and GitHub Flavoured markdown.
Having knowledge of markdown, I started building it two weeks ago using GitHub pages and Jekyll.
I finally built it this week (right now it's kind of static site) and will add new features to the website in coming days.
You can check the website here.

I released my first npm package
@queekusme /dns_host

I've advised a peer to not learn a new programming language without a purpose. Started working a very specific small functionality that would make my life happy for atleast an year ahead.

This was my win this week 😄🐝

dev.to/pigozzifr/learn-svg-animati...

I have started the rebrading of Bookmarks.dev to Codever. Main webapp check ✔️, all the extensions to follow.

I started a new job; which is outside of my country, which means I will start my savings to move out of my parent's house.

Yesterday I'm finally able to solve tricky bug after spending all week.
