I just got hired for my first part-time remote web development job! 🎉🔥
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!
Hi Jarod -
Congratulations on your first remote job!

Wow congrats!
I finally got an old thinkpad of mine running coreboot and gentoo and I started work on a new linux project that you guys will hear about by October :]
This week I had my first PR merged in a JavaScript open-source project. :) Fixing a bug.
I reached my first 100 followers and 150+ reaction post here on DEV 🎉
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 😄
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experience in term of income and time flexibility however it included a lot of headache for multiple reasons like using outdated/boring workflows and having a disorganized priorities.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.
That's great, congratulations 🎉
— Forked a repository and updated CSS 🐱🏍
— Had a driving lesson and I'm at the very end, 2-3 hours and I can pass the license 😁
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
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 stashBefore this week I'd been using it the simplest way possible
Now I've played (almost ruined the local changes in my project) a lot more with other options like:
Git stash -p// iterative modeGit stash -u// stash also untracked filesGit stash (apply | pop) stash-key// pop or apply other entry different from the last oneGit stash show -p --summary stash-key// display stashed changes as diffGit stash -m"message"// add a custom message to recognize on listGit stash list// list all stash stackThanks for this
Totally not coding related, but after a long long process, I adopted this little guy this week! I'm sure he'll be helping remind me to take regular screen breaks 😊
Completely qualifies as a win Id say
Congrats! I got a greyhound a few months back and I love her so much. And commence the doggy pics:
First one up, my dog Cora! She is a 7-year-old greyhound and loves a good nap.
☝️ from this post with other great pet pics.
Cora! 😍 She looks so cosy with her wee teddy ♥️
My lad's called Ty - he's a 2 year old lurcher 😊 Still settling in but he's already picked his favourite snoozing spots and told off the local cats 😂
OH MY GOODNESS. He's gorgeous. I love greyhounds and I ADORE brindle greyhounds. Thank you for sharing! 🤗
I've added one more DEV badge to my collection 🎉🎉🎉
Had a productive week despite/because of some time time off! Here are 5 things that were great wins for me this week:
I got to the final interview round of a company that I really, REALLY think would be a good fit. Even if I don't end up getting an offer, it helped me work through a bit of my Imposter Syndrome.
I fixed one of the most important things in a GitHub Learning Labs course this week, a typo. 😎
I launched my first desktop app and surprisingly, I already have more then 20 downloads, over 300 project views and one app review
If you want to take a look, here is the GitHub, and the Electron apps website
📙 The draft of my book Building Your Mouseless Development Environment is being written faster than I thought, and I finally have good ideas for the last part of the book. 🤩
I'm going to reach 1000 subscribers for my youtube channel. It was started an year ago. Now I have reached this milestone.
I teach android stuffs here - youtube.com/channel/UC4sjtDCIHMTwW...
Not really my own win, but I celebrated it nonetheless. I had the opportunity to train two people straight from a bootcamp into the role of front-end developer. Now they are given a permanent contract.
Even though the reward is their effort (not mine), I celebrate their win all the same.
My main CS project (a programming language) had a lot of improvements:
I'm also changing the syntax a bit (look at the VarSyntax branch).
And I'm still looking for contributors, so if you think the project is worth some of your time, let me know!
I created a Preact version of my React writing prompt generator! There are a few things I'd like to do to it still but getting all of the functionality from the React version working in the Preact version was really satisfying :)
Rejected after 3rd round of Technical Interview out of 4.
Learned so much. Given this type of interview after many years, so it was a nice learning experience.
And I hope soon will nail down a new job interview.
What a great attitude! Good luck with the rest of the process, Navdeep! You'll land something great in no time :)
Though it was via following a tutorial, I made my first nice looking page that didn’t look like it was from 1999 haha. It meant a lot to me! At the end of the day as long as I’m encouraged by it I guess that’s what matters.
Competitive programming feels like nightmare to me. I do get afraid when time tiktok and i have to solve/code a problem statement.
I solved few problem statements this week, feeling better than before.
I was successfully able to differentiate the difference between
matchandswitchand their uses.Uses and difference b/w switch and match

I'll completed the 6 weeks training phase where I teach differently abled individuals to use webflow a low code platform to build websites with it.
It was last week but we launched a big new feature on one of the apps I work on which allows user to upload artworks to the associated steam game and yesterday I managed to round off some work for a demo for the other app I worked on too.
This week has been great for me!
I managed to implement a friend's idea into a small part of a web application using Google Maps, an idea I wouldn't ever think of having to do ever in my life. After that, I am now onto a new project for a cafeteria building their website from scratch.
Take care and Happy Coding everyone!
I'm a junior dev (aged 53! haha), and I've just started teaching teenagers the basics of html and css so they can build their first web page, will also teach them some JS when they are ready (we only have 2h a week). And I'm taking an interview today for another 7 hours in another school :D
I hadn't imagined taking a bootcamp to become a fullstack dev would lead me to teaching...but I love it!
First package published to npm, and first blog post on dev.to in a looong time: dev.to/krnsk0/introducing-guser-a-...
Finally was able to enable Firebase social auth in my nodejs api and securely deployed it on heroku by cryptographically hashing the google cloud key and decrypting at build time. Also had to learn more about package.json scripts while how to ensure decryption takes place before server starts.
I have tried my best to make repo so that everyone can see my journey of implementing the final api with auth properly.
Repo Link
My new system is finally put together. Only has Linux installed, no Windows partition or VM. Runs Starcraft 2 and other Windows games.
Started using NotionHQ and have started tracking myself, my projects, and everything else.
Yay Notion! I've been using Notion for a couple years now as my online notebook and I love it! For development specifically, I use it to store links to articles and then pages of code snippets for thing I'm constantly looking up when I have to use them. Also for planning projects, but more high-level planning than task tracking.
I began to learn rust and want to code low-level system design in future.
Dev just awarded me a second badge, it's been two years for me in here 🎉. I just need to up my content creation game.
I used nodejs, express, mongoDB for the first time and created a simple pastebin.
This tricky APIs - at the end I quite enjoyed learning about them. 🥳
Delivered first Sanity & NextJS project for a client.
I helped 2 developers to get hired remotely:

“Secrets of drawing with CSS and a single DIV” by pandaquests link.medium.com/PhSp9uPM8ab
I upgraded my sister's win 8 to win 10. That was some serious work with a lot of uncertainty.
Tried NestJS with Typescript and finally getting the hang of it.
I wrote my first puppeteer test. Well, copied another test and modified it to my use. But this let me dive in and begin to formulate how to provide and organize helping methods.
I posted an article for the first time in a while, and gonna post another one soon
My win this week was I completed all my pending work this week and also took an initiative to get a slack bot for Jenkins deployment job and integrated it.
Milestone 2020
I got hired as a full stack developer, monday will be my first day as developer. Looking forward to learn more.
From carpenter to developer.
