My big win this week is, claim my new "AWS Developer Certified - Associate", feel so great and I want another one, I can't believe it, after many days studying I got it
I got a job offer. It's tough to leave my current company as I have spent 3 years here and this is my first company so I have learnt a lot from here, I have an attachment with people here...and I informed my friends at the company that I will leave and they are vey happy for me and also sad that I will not be there with them. They congratulated me and also shared memories that we had that made it very difficult for me to leave. But I have made the decision to leave and move on and everyone is so supportive.

I realized my website is fine the way it is, and "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Having that unnecessarily large "todo" of "redo the whole thing to use new frameworks" out of my mind feels great.

My big win this week during my 10-day holiday is that I've managed to put my mind off my job - disregarding the emails, disabled MS Teams notifications on my phone, and not touching any code, even my side projects. Just enjoy reading on the Internet about what other people are working on.
New article after a loooooong time!
Dev Side Project: Updating the UI & using 2 more API's for more data
Vicente G. Reyes ・ Oct 23 ・ 7 min read
Interviews and fighting the terror of not having steady work. I had a string of bad luck, just denial after denial for the past 6 months or so. Nothing has been coming, and I was depressed about it all the more because I froze solid on a whiteboard interview a couple weeks back, the first in months. Then UE benefits from my last workplace came to their last week, and still denials. I've talked to every contact, friend, former co worker, everyone. Benefits extension came through quickly, then I came up with 4 interviews.
One was a denial after the second interview, they went internal. The second was after the second again, but that was a 2 1/2 hour long one and I was kind of hopeful, but just not meant to be. Third was Kroger, I'm on to the last interview next week, hopefully I can nail it. Both nice and not because it's a big company, but it's full time. Finally the 4th is one of those reach outs. Former CEO at his newest company. Made it past 2 levels there, hoping the 3rd goes well. Kinda worried about this one because startup, and learning Golang from scratch when I'd barely seen 20 lines of it 2 weeks ago. Also contract instead of full time.
Wish me luck, both of the next ones are on Monday. Just need to take the win of getting the interviews to actual offers. It'll be nice to be able to make a good Christmas instead of barely much for my 3 girls. This pandemic already cost us almost everything, and this next week it'll be costing my anniversary plans because we can't afford it.
I am wishing you so much luck!!! Get some good rest this weekend. Interviewing is so taxing but you won't be doing it forever.
Didn't manage at that time, but just yesterday I was offered a senior backend developer position and took it after some minor negotiating. Might stand a chance of having a good Christmas after all.
Just finished a fantastic meeting with someone who shares my passion for free education, an instructional designer and potential collab for not only teaching, but employing, in a way that takes diversity and inclusion to a new level (criminal background, etc.).
