I finally announced the book I am writing on HTML and got some great feedback from people which I am going to use to improve the chapters that are published and use as guidance to improve the chapters that I am working on at the moment.

Thanks so much, @cipivlad 🙌
One of my new colleagues at @crabnebuladev was using one of my solid-primitives and inspired me to add support for the tauri-store as an alternative storage. Writing the code down went really smooth.
It's like cross-pollination between work and hobby coding.
I didn't have the best week, but it wasn't the worst either. However, at the end, I received the sad news that our project's budget was going to hit a dead end. Several weeks ago, our management team tried hard, and I don't doubt their skills, but these things happen. There is a story behind it, but the conclusion was that a bunch of folks lost their jobs, which is really sad. It's time to clean up my CV, exercise, live through this moment of frustration, and reconnect with old pals on LinkedIn, as well as some other platforms I discovered recently.
Finally, last Thursday, I got in contact with an interesting company that focuses on telemetry and optimization of public transport and heavy machinery. We went through some initial screener interviews, technical interviews, and psychological tests. These steps might or might not be the same in almost any interview process. I'm close to reaching a deal with them and feeling really happy in general for the feedback and support I've received from some people in my network. If you find yourself in a similar situation, connect with people, ask for advice, and always be humble.
Good opportunities are always around the corner.
My first ever online course just launched today on LinkedIn Learning, covering Computer Vision on Azure as part of the Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 certification exam prep materials.
I managed to release a positive data storytelling :
