I started writing on dev.to. I am amused looking at the support and love this community provides.

Please have a look and provide your valuable comments and suggestions.

Look, I found a name twin and they're way cooler than me.

Their art is being sold on Prints With Benefits where all proceeds are 200% matched and donated to organizations like @Blklivesmatter!

Oh, a name twin. I have a name twin that lives A FEW STATES AWAY. I occasionally get emails meant for her.

Jess Lee • Jun 5 '20

I think I might actually have 10,000 name twins :D

Gracie Gregory (she/her) • Jun 5 '20

Whoa I love their art!!

Confirmed my new job is still there for me, just a little delayed! Berlin, ho.

Andreas Jakof • Jun 5 '20

Welcome to Berlin! You know a time already?

Ben Lovy • Jun 5 '20

Danke! Not quite - I should have some clarity after June 15 about the timeline, but will be planning to move as soon as I can procure the paperwork. I was intended to start June 1 before international travel halted, so "as soon as possible" :)

Gracie Gregory (she/her) • Jun 5 '20

Cool! What CSS stuff are you working with now?

Mighty • Jun 6 '20

Not any special stuff. Just try to get more understanding about overall. 😊

Shannon Crabill • Jun 6 '20

I hear ya. CSS can be overwhelming.

Mighty • Jun 7 '20

Yap. Always forget stuff 😄

Wrapping up my second blog post regarding my journey to becoming a Dev. With two kids I found it hard to sit down and have time to do anything for myself. So I count this as a big win lol.

My win was that I wrote my first post on dev.to yesterday. I recently launched my own blog and after that this is the first time I posted on dev.to. I must say received very good response from this best dev community.

Nick Taylor • Jun 9 '20

I published a monorepo called Laziness, where I have two dev tools to automate component and integration tests. It's open-sourced now and written in Typescript.
