Well done! Now you can move to a low cost country, sit near the beach with your laptop, and congratulate yourself for being semi retired already!

I reached my first 100 followers and 150+ reaction post here on DEV πŸŽ‰

I used to get discouraged and have no incentive to create blog posts due to a lack of visibility and feedback but that has definitely changed with this great platform and community.

Looking forward to continuing sharing my recourses and knowledge here on DEV πŸ˜„

I quit my job.

It may sound kinda controversial but by doing so I feel some much relieved and refreshed. It was a fine experience in term of income and time flexibility however it included a lot of headache for multiple reasons like using outdated/boring workflows and having a disorganized priorities. I felt very demotivated lately. It was like being frozen in the same position. Consequently, I decided to step out in order to relax, learn new things, and plan for my next step.

Did the same two months ago. Things are much better now :)

I had my first real week of work and have survived information dump so far, and had my first PR merged. Also had my first talk on my role and was nice to find out PO agreeing on what I should focus on first. Tons of responsibility awaiting as well as a need for learning new kinds of skills.

I decided to try out some basic graphic design for my post header images by taking a class on skillshare. Yesterday I made my first post after taking the class, and I'm pretty happy with the results.

I have mentored a fresher remotely. Today is the last day of his training and he sent me a text

I'll never hesitate to tell anyone that you are the greatest mentor I have ever had. The way you teach the way, the way you give real-time examples and the way you motivate.
because of you, I am trying to go beyond the limits
Very very excited to meet you in person
Thank you so much, sir for being my mentor

It made my day... gonna have a sound sleep today

My open-source project reached 666 stars on GitHub, which sounds just right for a tool against dependency hell

This week I've learnt a lot of git stash
Before this week I'd been using it the simplest way possible

$ git stash
$ git stash (apply | pop)

Now I've played (almost ruined the local changes in my project) a lot more with other options like:

  • Git stash -p // iterative mode
  • Git stash -u // stash also untracked files
  • Git stash (apply | pop) stash-key // pop or apply other entry different from the last one
  • Git stash show -p --summary stash-key // display stashed changes as diff
  • Git stash -m"message" // add a custom message to recognize on list
  • Git stash list // list all stash stack
