I rediscovered my love of coding again!
I've been struggling with burn-out for a couple of years now, ever since I was forced to give up coding professionally for health reasons. I started developing a few java games for android but, after a succession of failed projects, I came very close to giving up completely.
Two weeks ago, a friend suggested a do some messing around with C++, a language I haven't used since the early 1990s! I'll admit it's a challenge as I haven't used pointers etc for a very long time, but I am officially hooked!
Nice to hear that! Remember those best feelings in your life when you were hooked to solving a particular problem in spite of many failures on the way!
In my view, the will to start is the difficult part. Once you make the initial effort, the logic processing units of the brain take over.
To derive this will, I usually just reconfigure my editor (vim) or study the unused parts of vim. Helps me kick start the thinking process and leave behind the endless loop of thoughts. Then the mind is clear to focus on the actual task.
Funnily enough I spent some time just reconfiguring the colour theme for CLion, Rider and IDEA. I also set up a settings repository for sharing between my desktop and laptop.
That was actually a nice diversion.
This week our entire build process went down because of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency, and I learned just how much of a house of cards npm is. Luckily, I can count that experience as a win because I was able to get in touch with that dependency's maintainer, send him as much info as I could about the error I (and by now some other people) were seeing, and he got a fix out within a couple of hours. It felt great to contribute to someone else's OSS project and help fix a bug that could have potentially derailed a ton of other apps like mine.
...there's probably a blog post about that I could write :)
Incredible stuff.
BTW, don't forget to tip/donate or have your company tip/donate to the maintainer or the project.

I found a really nice little outdoor business area in my town called The Plant. 🌱
I'm excited that the weather is getting nicer and am looking forward to hanging out there this weekend. 😀
Seems like a neat place to visit!
It's so cool! I've lived here for a year and had no idea it existed haha. (That said, I haven't been doing too much during COVID 😅)
My favorite business there is probably Starrlight Mead... I'd never had mead (honey wine) before and it's really tasty. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

great job
Thank you 🙏
Nice, but the website is gone. Maybe you've forgotten to renew the domain.
Yep still working on the site.
PS: Can I have some feedback on this design for my app
Any ideas?
I presented my capstone project and finally fulfilled all the requirements to graduate in Computer Science—my second BSc degree. All set to switch careers.

I got the answer to this question when I read "You don't know JS". In my view, understanding the underlying mechanisms and the thought process behind the design of any particular feature in the language is the test of your knowledge. Take any one thing in the language that you think you understand and ask yourself:
For every important feature in the language that you are able to answer these questions, you develop confidence.
However, remember to not worry when every single thing seems like a rabbit hole. At a later time, you will know where to revisit some of the parts which you can skip for now. When you study something deeply, you will feel you know so little. But that is part of learning. You cannot skip that phase. Enjoy the unending journey into your own ability to reason things!
I just have to brag about the Sample Programs repo which got off the ground in 2018 because of folks in DEV. Today, I added README automation which shows all code snippets for a given language with links out to documentation. This project has been a long time coming, and I'm very proud of it.

I published an npm package this week! It's called betteregex
I wrote a real lot of posts this week (something like 9). That's a lot!
I also published my longest ever post (A few seconds ago), It's a guide on how to plan a programming project. You can check it out here!.
Also, I've been feeling a bit happier lately, because I've been working on a really big (secret! Not really but no one knows about it yet) project and I just love it when I have something big to code on my hands.
I figured out that having
{@html generate_some_svg_code()}
at the top level of a svelte component generates a bunch of SVG tags with the XHTML namespace so they don't show up, but wrapping it in a<g>
tag like this<g>{@html generate_some_svg_code()}</g>
seems to change something about how svelte handles the SVG-String so it gets inserted with the proper namespace.I spent something like 3 hours trying to find a workaround and just stumbled upon this weird quirk by chance.
The NuGet package I released is gaining a small amount of traction! It's really cool because this is my first one. I did it because I wanted to use it in my own projects, but shared it, and other people seem to like it too.
Great job! Congrats
I completed a pet project where I studied Hotwire and Stimulus Reflex. It was nice to code something different from work chores and at the same time learn something new which is very cool.
Complementary, I finished some plan updated to a Rails template I've been working past weeks. It's got all stuff I consider necessary when starting a Ruby on Rails project and in coming weeks I'll use it for the second time.
The template name is Puntapie and you can check it out here :)

Finally launched my project this week. i.e. Berry - React Material Admin. It almost got a year to finish this project. It took lots of investment in time, money, and resources. As material-ui is the popular library out there. we must stick to their high-end coding standard.
On 21'st may our product is published by the Material-UI. It's really win situation for us.
As a Front End Developer, I work with Restful APIs most of the time, and have a Back End team behind the scenes serving everything to the Front-End. My job is simply to handle the interface well, and call the API to get the data. But since I moved to a new company, here they use Graphql to serve all data query needs, so in the Front End part I had to learn how to query data and mutate them according to the requirement, I felt overwhelming at first but after only a few days of getting used to it, I feel free and less dependent on BE, I can query and execute any mutation I want with just one query. Graphql is something new that I've been experiencing and learning for the past week, it's amazing.
I've started learning Flutter and Dart. I've been using Java, Kotlin and Javascript for quite a few years now. Trying to learn Flutter and Dart has been quite daunting for me or maybe it's because I moved learning of making the UI to the later part and started learning BLoC first. Architectures xD
I had an awesome day with my son. It was so refreshing to be off the machine and view the world from a much simpler perspective.
I've challenged myself to take a stab at creating a native Android app from scratch using React Native, without any prior experience in mobile development. In 5 hours I had a working app on my phone!
I documented the whole process in my latest blog post. I made sure to document all the pitfalls so that others with similar experiences can save some time.
I finished my Azure Fundamentals training! (I probably won't be taking the certification exam...I just wanted the knowledge.)
I have started with TypeScript after a few years developing on Node.js
I got stuck some times but finally I got it working 😃
Co pleating yet more submissions... One week less to graduate 💪🏻
To use Kong as an Ingress Controller
I got to watch Google I/O and leaned how to use TensorFlow.js
reaching over 70K total post views on dev.to, and starting this week I will try to get the 16-week streak badge after failed last time.
I've released a new version of jQuery Terminal
jcubic / jquery.terminal
jQuery Terminal Emulator - JavaScript library for creating web based terminals with custom commands
JavaScript Library for Web Based Terminal Emulators
Summary
jQuery Terminal Emulator is a plugin for creating command line interpreters in your applications. It can automatically call JSON-RPC service when a user types commands or you can provide your own function in which you can parse user commands. It's ideal if you want to provide additional functionality for power users. It can also be used to debug your application.
You can use this JavaScript library to create a web based…
Solved a lot of regex problems on HackerRank.
I discovered React (after knowing he basics of Angular and Vuejs)
And it's so good! I fell basically in love with it :D
As long as you know about 80-90% of the language, I would say you're proficient.
Just make sure to keep practicing the language, so you never forget it and become less proficient in it.

I aced a coding interview!
Also, I found dev.to ^^
We released the first front-end Studio and yesterday got amazing feedback on dev.to, YouTube and reddit. After a year of pure coding without any feedback, we really needed.
