I got married! Wearing masks and gloves of course and with proper distance between others. It was us and our parents and the civil ceremony and it was great.

Late last month I was promoted to Oracle ACE for community contributions and expertise with Oracle! It's very exciting and something I never imagined achieving. My wife even had celebratory cookies made!

Managed to work for 13.5h on my side-projects, while learning Vue and Vuetify! I'm building an app that will help me compare playlists between iTunes, Spotify and Rekordbox cause my libraries are a mess..!

Yeah! I'm going to push myself to try and double that number and aim for 12 more posts by the end of the year. Average 2 posts a month, seems doable!

Rearranged the house so the kids could have separate rooms. I'm tired but they are happy ๐Ÿ™‚

Been working on the front end for an account 2fa enable/disable function written in a mix of Angular, PHP, & C# which was released this week. Started it while lockdown started, so there was double the pressure due to looking after my kids at home as well.

Mine was syndicating a post on OpenTelemetry here from our corporate blog. I'm trying to get my company more active here, and this was a first step that was difficult to clear.

This week , I finished designing a programming language , MewMew , which let's one program in cats' language.

GitHub logo bauripalash / mewmew

/แ ๏ฝก๊žˆ๏ฝกแŸ\ MewMew Programming Language - Program in Cats' Language

/แ ๏ฝก๊žˆ๏ฝกแŸ\ MewMew Programming Language

Program in Cats' Language

MewMew ๐Ÿฑ is an Esoteric Just for Fun programming language. You can use MewMew to program in cats' language.

๐ŸŽ‰ Get Started

๐Ÿ˜ธ Integers

There's no concept of numbers (eg. 1 2 3 4 100) in MewMew, instead we use mews. 1 mew is equal to 1 , therefor mewmew = 2 , mewmewmew = 3 , mewmewmewmewmewmewmewmewmewmew = 10. (You got the Idea right)

๐Ÿ˜ธ Operators

MewMew supports a few types of operators =>

  • + -> Addition
  • - -> Subtraction
  • * -> Multiplication
  • / -> Division
  • ** -> Power
  • ~ -> Absolute Value
  • - -> Unary Minus
  • > -> Greater than
  • >= -> Greater than equal to
  • < -> Less than
  • <= -> Less than equal to
  • == -> Is Equal to
  • != -> Not Equal to
  • & -> And
  • | -> Or
  • % -> Modulus (Remainder)

๐Ÿ˜ธ Identifiers

I randomly happened to come across a reminder from 2013 reminding me to start learning to code. Now 7 years later I am celebrating 6 months at a job I love as a Frontend Web Developer and I have a degree in Computer Science.
7 years ago I was depressed and was going through a really empty time in my life. I decided to start coding because I remembered, as a kid, enjoying to play around with an old html website builder I forgot the name of that would generate html for you (must have been end of 90s beginning of 2000s).
I never could have imagined how that decision would transform my life completely. I am not a great story teller, or else I would write my own article here about it. But This is something I would consider one of the biggest wins of my life.
I wrote a tweet about this here.

This week, I've started learning React having got some foundation in html, css and JavaScript.

It's been really exciting so far, but, I would be lying if I said it wasn't overwhelming.

One thing I'm really thankful to the DEV team is providing a platform to write blogs exclusive for developers. Since June I've written 15 articles and I'm super proud and happy to have met such an awesome community of folks who share the same level of passion.

I am not used to writing blogs but this week I tried to do so. From 8th July I promised to post a blog each day for a week even if people don't read it. And I am pretty new in this platform too; just joined this month. So I had not much expectation besides posting.
To my surprise, within this short period of time, I got 2500+ views!!!!!! It's because of this article namely-simple guideline for webdesign

dev.to/akdeberg/simple-guideline-f...

I don't necessarily attach it to WIN or something, but it inspires me a lot to post more down the road and to serve more people in this community๐Ÿ˜

Nothing tech related, but having a three week vacation hiking around in northern Norway (which in itself already feels like a win, grateful to live somewhere this beautiful) and managed to get over my fear of heights entirely ๐Ÿ’ช Doing hikes to mountain tops every day, exposure therapy seems very effective for me.
