What was your win this week?

Hey folks!

Just to note that I've taken up the ritual of posting this Friday series that the awesome @graciegregory was previously regularly sharing. I'll be following the same format and am looking forward to seeing what y'all have been up to! 🙌

Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

All wins count — big or small 🎉

Examples of 'wins' include:

  • Starting a new project
  • Fixing a tricky bug
  • Eating a delicious meal 😋

Hope y'all have nice relaxing weekends!

I prepared for my first solo conference talk, which will be on September 13 cfe.dev/events/frontend-foxes-day-... 🎉🎉🎉

For me, this is a huge step since it's part of my goal to start joining more conferences and being able to join this one, in a project that I love,@frontendfoxes 🦊 it's just amazing!

I have made a discord bot and server that will be used by our academy's tutors and students, in order to make getting help easier :D It's a ticket system with extras, written from scratch and ran on my Raspberry Pi. One of my first small projects that is actually used in a real-world scenario.

Could actually write multiple things, but in the end, what matters is how it makes me feel.

By rating the mood each day for 4 years in an app I can see on paper that the past two weeks has been unusual good. That's my win :)

I returned from vacation! The win is accepting it like a champ 😂
This month my online activity dropped to zero, but now I want to retake it, write posts, answer questions in SO, update on GitHub projects, etc

I have 2 wins this week, which are:

  1. I have finished my full stack NodeJS bootcamp with successful final presentation
    on my landing page and CRUD mockup, and about to receive a placement this
    month as a full stack software developer.

  2. I almost finished my navigation bar on my project about popular FAQ site which is
    Quora, this is already a win for me, because I learned a lot while working on this
    project. If you don't know about Quora, you can search quora.com/

Biggest win was definitely bundling a Rust app and getting it to run on iOS. Now I'll never have to touch Swift or Obj-C again. Wrote a little thing on it too

One of my readers here on dev.to started contributing on one of my Open Source projects on GitHub.

I see it as a double win, so happy about that!

I did my personal website stsmuniz.tech

And used the dev.to api to fill it with data from my profile and from my published posts

Also, I shared the process on a blogpost:
