I built a web app entirely on top of NodeJS, and NPM libs for the first time on the first attempt, Since 2015 working as a full-time PHP Dev, and never had the chance to give it a try, this week, an employer came with a project that made my week 😀

Oh, this is my first activity at DEV.to even though I got a Four Year Club badge! So I'm feeling rewarded like: Buy one Get one Free 🙂

My Big Win this week is that I have a date for my final surgery - November 17!

Last year I was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer and had to have emergency surgery to bypass the tumor, this surgery will put me back together in my final form

As you can imagine with a Stage IV diagnosis, this surgery was never guaranteed; it took A LOT of hard work, patience, and luck to reach this point.

Just found the reason for an accounting BUG. I'm 2 months into my new job and had to read a ton of legacy code a senior dev wrote and is no longer with the company. At almost 5pm, I found the reason for the bug, and I'm pretty happy about it because this will stop the errors on people's pay checks.

My win this week was to have great networking meetings with people from my company! I'm trying to learn more about leadership, and because of all the conversations I had, I'm ending my week very energized!
