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" :)

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.

Hmmm, it was a "frustratingly buggy" week. But the thought process that this frustration triggered made it worthwhile and I consider that the biggest win of the week. And it should keep me busy!

Any feedback welcome!

Started reading „Clean Code“ and by that a major refactoring of a Web App I’m working on.

Im currently in the middle of it and it would not even build right now, but when I am done, the tests can flow in. 👍

Almost through the book. Done with the first wave of refactorings. Their single purpose is to enable more and better test.
Almost 100 Unit Tests already (there are other thing on my plate as well) and still a long way to go.

Done with one assembly of 6... and the most basic one. But start at the bottom and build a solid fundament. Nevertheless, those were the easy tests.

I think my win this week was getting my hackathon partner to realise that her contribution is not only valued but her opinion mattered more to me than the hackathon.

We bonded. I understood her prior engagements were more important. But she put such a smile on my face with some of her comments and determination to contribute.

We just paired up and the time difference is 8 hours. So it's not always easy to pair. But we managed to get some great work done. And I think that was my win this week.

My win for the week.

--> at work, continued to successfully move a project from winforms to wpf. Also changing my C# .net framework code to .netcore 3.1.
--> at home, taught myself SQL server. My last dealings with a database was in high school when I learned dBase 3. Relational databases are a whole new animal and new way of thinking.

For starters, my week has not finished yet. I call a week finished at 11:59pm of the sunday (lol sounds like a real hustler). But going serious now, I still have two more day for doing my things.

Buuuuut I don't want to kill the mood of the topic, so:

My win this week, was doing more Vue tutorials, even right now I'm finishing a weather app. Then going to publish it on firebase.

So guys keep at the good work, slow and steady wins the race!

Released a new kedro plugin on pypi.

GitHub logo WaylonWalker / steel-toes

a kedro hook to protect against breaking changes to data

🥾 Steel Toes

a kedro hook to protect against breaking changes to data

Python Test and Package PyPI version Code Style: Typed-Black

steel-toes is a kedro hook designed to prevent stepping on your teammates toes. It will branch your data automatically based on your git branch, or manually by passing the branch name into the hook.

Motivation

kedro is a fantastic project that allows for super-fast prototyping of data pipelines, while yielding production-ready pipelines. kedro promotes collaborative projects by giving each team member access to the exact same data. Team members will often make their own branch of the project and begin work. Sometimes these changes will break existing functionality. Sometimes we make mistakes as we develop, and fix them before merging in. Either case can be detrimental to a teammate working downstream of your changes if not careful.

🥼 Wear the proper PPE during feature development
