Completed a coding challenge while being recorded, which is a BIG win for this introvert.

Convinced a coworker to write a small script in plain js instead of importing jQuery.

The combined effects of Thursday (finishing a major UI overhaul 100%) and Friday (fixing all critical and important bugs) for my first ever large-scale web app felt SUPER satisfying!

Figuring out why it was that, even though I was using a common docker file to do it, my resultant Red Hat images were double the size of my CentOS images. And, in the end, not only did I reduce the size of my Red Hat image, I further reduced the size of my CentOS image.

...Was doing the above because, while the project I'm on refuses to enable the CI features of their internal git-service, they don't ban me from using local containers to do manual versions of the kinds CI activities I've become used to on other projects.

Some excellent wins in here β€” good work, everyone!

After what feels like an age (hint: it has been an age in the Internet time), I've got an actual website up and running, as an adjunct to the application.

The plan had been to push forward with the public sharing in the application and use that to publish pages to build a website. But the simple fact is it would foolish to think I could replicate a fraction of what WordPress does in a few weeks or months…

Lesson learned. Progress made.
