My wife and I had to find a flat in Paris. Everybody told us it would be super difficult, but we have found it in two days

Completely rebuild my blog with nuxtjs + vuetify (best combo!).
Had so much fun doing it, learned a lot and it looks dope now. Before this, I had bought a Gatsby-based theme from themeforest but I wasn't happy with it because even though I know how to code it was difficult for me to extend it. Now everything is under my control and I can work on the blog as I like.

So happy :)

Having a great video chat with someone I met at LTX Fest (Latinx in Tech conference)! I've been putting more effort into networking with other women in tech and sharing things I've learned that have helped me throughout my career change and it feels really good! :) It's hard to feel connected during this time, and this conversation we had really uplifted my spirits and gave me an extra boost of motivation and inspiration.

This week, I developed and launched my first React project. It's a photo blog which is integrated with ButterCMS. I also learned that the environment variables in reactjs should start as REACT_APP_ENV_VAR. It took me a while to realize it lol

I built a bunch of furniture with those tiny little Allen wrenches and my fingers are a bit sore, but it's over, thankfully it's over.

Speaking of things thankfully being over... I'm pretty dang siked about the US election results. ๐Ÿ™Œ
