Our team finished second in the corporate hackathon, and we got to present our idea to the CEO (win #1). During the presentation, I made a joke related to the CEO and didn't get fired for it (win #2)... at least, not yet 😋

Next year, we'll go for the overall win 😊

What's the joke though:)

[Alvaro Montoro]

It was something silly about how he would like if he had a handlebar mustache. More meant to catch his attention than to be funny 😳

[Siddharth]

Tell us the joke ;)

It was something silly about how he would like if he had a handlebar mustache. More meant to catch his attention than to be funny... but it worked :)

Here are the things I've managed to do:

• company homepage has most of the skeleton layout done (only missing styling and functionality).
• I connected the AWS SES, Lambda, and API Gateway services together (only needs to connect to the frontend now).
• I studied Typescript for a few days in the week.
• continued to network and expand my connections.

• This week was monotonous.
• Spent literally 30 hours trying to convert all of the old PHP code of my app to secure and new code.
• Deleted more than half of my server's files since they were outdated and pretty much useless XD
• Although, the end results are satisfying. There are soooo many changes to my GitHub repository since my last commit.

And, guess what....
My app finally hit 400 users!

It is always so satisfying when you make those sorts of updates! Pay off that technical debt buddy :) I actually just finished the same goal with my personal website this week

• Finished 365 days of Italian on Duolingo: twitter.com/MokoSharma/status/1460...
• Successfully debugged a deadlock at work.
• Figured out the end the end process of grabbing call stacks using Microsoft.Diagnostics library (same one as Perf View): github.com/Maoni0/realmon/issues/8

I launched a new side project I've been working on with my friends yesterday

1. learn how to add good typescript types to old js library as my old 5 year old node.js orm: github.com/TobiasNickel/tmysqlprom...

with ts conditional typing and templatestring types.

1. i found that puppeteer now is less dependent on installed c libraries in linux. now I can use puppeteer in my virtual server at 1&1. these c libraries where are considered desktop libraries, so they are not awailable in the 1&1 ubuntu repo. Thanks to the puppeteer team 👍.

My plan is to use it as webrtc turn server, that is easier to install and with more features than coturn.

After taking 2 days to get down and dirty, I converted my entire blog to NuxtJS. I still have lots more work to do to improve the SEO juices (like a sitemap and RSS to get some articles going here on dev.to)

[Alex Wentz]

I just finished the third phase on Ruby in my coding bootcamp. Starting Rails this coming week, then it'll be time to create my final project. My portfolio is growing, I might have some freelance work starting soon, and I'm starting to actually feel like a real programmer!

And also I have been learning more about streaming data with Materialize and I've also been playing around with AdonisJS which is a great Node.js freamework!

Taking part in a live coding event, learning how to improve testing and actually using more keyboard shortcuts in PhpStorm, and sadly probably one of the last in-person event before another so-called lockdown, as our !civilized && !intelligent && !solidary first-world society failed another time to handle the covid pandemic.

Thanks so much for everyone taking part and for Roland / Never Code Alone for the courage and effort to organize an actual event these days!
