One of my posts got more than 20k views in it's first week! This is the first time anything I've written has had such an impact, so it was really exciting! 🥳
Good stuff, Jake! Was just looking through your posts and you've been steadily sharing some great stuff. It's about time you had one that blew up.
Don't get me wrong, I like this week's post, but I also really dug your one before that here:
Being a New Hire is a Super Power...Don't Waste It

Keep on truckin' and thanks for sharing such great posts with the community!
Thanks @michaeltharrington !!!
Nice! Congrats.
(and here I am happy that mine got almost 100 views 😅)
Thanks!
Nothing wrong with this! This is literally how most of my other posts are as well. Before this past week, I was thrilled that I had hit 500 views. And I'm sure that's how more of my posts will be in the future. The important thing is to just keep sharing your knowledge. Whether you're helping 1 person or 1,000,000...all that matters is that you're helping others and sharing your knowledge! Keep it up!
Gave a talk at a conference for the first time based on the series I wrote a few months ago. I hope to give one in person next time around 😄
Stressful and awkward to watch myself, but also fun and worth celebrating I guess lol
Uow. How do you make these cool embeddings?
Good question!
The syntax is like this
{% embed https://... %}Here's the announcement post that talks about them a bit (gonna use an embed for it):

I'm adding a few features to view images from our rovers on MARs from Nasa's API.
Check it out if you have any free time! I'd appreciate the traffic.

Wow, Oscar! Loving this... especially the photo of the day. It's a beautiful world! 🌍
Thank you!! I appreciate the kind words!
• I joined the code challenge on Sololearn!✨
• I completed my 30-Day Challenge on Codecademy!✨
• I started coding on my own website on my own domain completely from scratch which I have never done before!✨
• I got my first spam bots on my X profile which must mean that my profile is gaining popularity and I also found a way to deal with them as well!✨
• I got a free 1.5 litre of Coca Cola!✨
I got to see the final cover of "Refactoring with C#" and had a new book for the new year accepted by a publisher. The contract is uniformly worse than the one for the book I just completed so I'll either negotiate it or wait for something better, but it's still a win. Oh! Also, I got to emcee Scott Hansleman and Mark Downie last night at the Central Ohio .NET Developer Group, which is still surreal to me.
Update on this one: my attempt to get better terms with the new publisher resulted in no changes so I'll be rejecting that offer outright once I'm less upset at their terms ($0 advance, 10% royalties starting out, the right to simply not pay if you're owed less than $100 at any point, and no compensation for bundled or heavily discounted books). The search goes on.
Finally, I have completed my first-time participation in Hacktoberfest by successfully finishing four merges🥳.
I received a wonderful digital reward kit from Holopin,and it was truly amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed contributing to open source, thanks to Hacktoberfest

Woot! Congrats on getting things prepped... You got this, Mike. 🙌
My four hacktoberfest PRs were accepted and merged. I made a small contribution to big project. These were so nice for me this week. Thank you!
Some Hacktober-putzing and finding this place. So both are a pretty solid W!
Aww yeah! Glad to hear you're enjoying Hacktoberfest and really great to have ya with us, Jo. 🙌
On the past Friday, we reached 60% of the number of sign-ups we aimed for on the waiting list for the beta version of Exocoding [exocoding.com/], the all-in-one software development platform designed exclusively for developers. We believe that by December, we will achieve our target number of beta users, and until then, we are ensuring free access to the beta version for all who sign up! We are excited about the interest from so many developers and looking forward to releasing the first version of ExoCoding!
