Finally had a bit of time to work on my new JVM.

Got invited to headline a conference without applying. Turns out I'm speaking at two other conferences around that date so I need to see if I can squeeze them all in.

Was able to record new videos for my channel despite the holiday and being under the weather.

✅finished debugged my python script I've been working on
✅found an edge case in live usage
✅edge case isn't a show-stopper

I've been accepted at tag moderator. 🤩

I just bought a hang board to support my bouldering hobby. I'm going to install it this weekend and get going on developing better grip strength. I know it will be hard, but I'm excited!

There's a restaurant in my neighborhood which finally opened after like a year of delays. Going out to eat there tonight.

It's the little things ☺️

Relaunched my portfolio.

Updated some content on a site I manage.

Made some more CSS art and even blogged about it before the weekend,

I finally started learning React Native.
Ended up creating a simple random based app in one day, and I’m now working on another app!

I got selected as a tag moderator 2 days ago.
Looking forward to being a bigger part of the community!

I finally figured out why we didn't get any code coverage in sonarqube (jacoco reports turned off)

deleted code that wasn't used anymore (deleting code is the best when there is so much of it haha!)

I had a good technical conversation with folks around town, demoed some early parts of a tool I'm calling Gitstractor, and submitted an audition for an online course.

Fixed a tricky bug(which I asked help for here on DEV and at stackoverflow. New article's up!

I got an opportunity to contribute to a side projects with students from my old university this Sunday. Hope this weekend's a productive one.

I've searched for inspiration on career path choices, after 4 years as a Chapter Lead (and counting). I've run into Will Larson's Staff Engineer and An Elegant Puzzle. I started reading the latter, challenging one engineer in my team to read the former.

I expect to motivate each other in reaching the end of the read. Hopefully with some "a-ha" moments on the way.

Oh woah, the dog gif it's like me... Hanging out a bit on the things I need to do right now 😅

Released 3 separate major projects to live 😁

(Wasn't planned like that, but some took a while to get signed off)

Took a few days to get away and clear my head before bootcamp starts. Battery is recharged and I'm going at a steady pace through the pre coursework.

Learned that horror movies and a cabin in the woods all alone do.not.mix.

Two things:
-Managed to use CLI to restore my wi-fi when it 'disappeared' off my network out of thin air.
-Scored 95% on my chapter 10 quiz.

✅ I launched my first micro-saas: themindmap.app/
✅ I even wrote a blog about it: dev.to/thatman/mindmap-never-forge...

I went for a hike for the first time in a minute this weekend!! Forgot how much I needed it!

I've finally started working on Admin Panel for my quiz app called Quizerach. Decided to write it from scratch using Chakra-UI.

Quiz is a common app that new developers create (at least it's on a various lists of project ideas) but you can't actually find useful open source quiz app.
