Recovered from illness and getting back on track now.
I went to GitHub Universe in SF and met a lot of people IRL that I only knew online! It was super fun!
That's the best!
Finally turned one of my French blog posts about CTEs into a full English article!
Itβs more of a rewrite than a translation.
Planning to post it as a series on Dev.to starting Monday!
Awesome!
Finally completed my latest Intermediate level Frontend Mentor challenge in creating space tourism website. I'm currently in the process of completing another challenge for an e-commerce product page.
Feel free to check the source code of my space tourism page.
PS: in the process of learning Astro.js as well
I submited to #hacktoberfest π
I dunno how much of a "win" it is, but I was given more managerial responsibilities. My annual performance review was last week, so we had the annual "salary and roles" meeting yesterday.
The raise is nice, but I'm not thrilled about moving further from the "real" dev side of things...because at the end of the day, it's never been about the money for me. Dev work has always been the one thing that always just made sense for me, even when nothing else in my life did.
That said, I'm still getting my "hands dirty" in just about every project that passes through the department...I'm just not doing entire projects on my own at this point. It boils down more to handling things the juniors don't necessarily have the skills to handle on their own (but still trying to teach them along the way, so next time they don't have to ask).
Good luck figuring out if this is the right path.
Eh, I know it's the right path...30+ years of experience is wasted if all I'm doing is building WordPress themes all day. Can I? Sure, I spent 20 years doing that solo before I went back to agency work...is it the best use of my time? Not really.
And somebody's gotta herd the cats, so...might as well be me. It's weird to work in a company where the next oldest person (that isn't the guy who's name is on the wall) is only a year older than my entire career though...but it's fun constantly making the juniors question their life choices when I whiteboard a solution without needing google. π
Started using AI for learning to code. Article will be up this week!!
My win: I successfully bridged my custom C++ interpreter, jdBasic, with the libtorch C++ API! It's so cool to write PYTORCH.BACKWARD(Loss_Tensor) in my own BASIC script and see the correct gradients pop out :-)
Iβve just finished a really big and challenging task β unfortunately, I canβt share the details because of an NDA π
we get our firsr client this week
congrats!
Thanks
My win this week was surviving the drive from the airport in Iceland to Reykjavik during the worst snowfall in over 100 years. Not much progress on my game project while taking a vacation
I finally learned to take real breaks without guilt. Taking enough breaks is also as important as work.
My side projects are generating ~250 USD monthly during the year. and don't need to touch them anymore. But looking for the new idea to develop or join to startup to work on.
love to hear it
Well, I have added one more song into my arsenal with my almighty guitar. (Jump into the fire by Metallica). That has been the best thing ever. :D
Shipped a small feature Iβd been putting off for weeks and finally cleaned up some messy old code feels great to end the week on a high note!
Brainstorming like crazy how to get s better job and developing a mobile app with a new technology with some help from cursor to move fast enough. I would say learning.
Close to finishing an n8n automation that I'd been treating as a work side project :)
Instead of fighting over high-competition keywords, I built a focused E-E-A-T page (βSEO Consultantβ) that immediately ranked at the top for long-tail phrases. As a result, we saw more than 60 additional keywords across the site rise dramatically in rankings.
I built the AI software development platform lunabase.ai with my team
Started integrating AI services into a real production scenarios and start fighting against some of the weird integrations that Gemini has.
