More a win for the past few weeks, but finally started blogging at my site thebouv.com and doing some cross-posting on LinkedIn and here on Dev.to.

20+ years in this industry; figured I can do some writing now. :D

Blog SEO Tip: Add Canonical URL pointing to original blog here for your dev.to Posts.

Edit post and Check post options near save changes.

[Anthony Bouvier]

Weird. I just checked, and I don't have any options near save changes. Just the save changes button itself.

[Shaiju T]

Just near to save changes or Right to save changes there is small round icon. Click that you should see the options. :)

[Anthony Bouvier]

Ooh, nice, thanks. Didn't know that was an option in the Dev.to interface. Thanks for the tip.

• Finished a course on Ruby on Rails. Really interesting language and looking forward to digging more into it.

• Fulfilled last week’s goal and wrote an article on the Shape Up project management methodology.

I won the raffle for a "leftover" vaccine. It reduces the chance of me dying this year by 40%.

[Gracie Gregory (she/her)]

Happy to hear that you have some protection now! What a great feeling. Wishing you health and all the good things!

[Francisco Quintero 🇨🇴]

Congrats, stay safe!

Feeling good 😎😎😎

[Andrew Baisden]

Getting over 100,000+ total post views on my DEV blog. 🙌 Also making new friends across social media. And having an increase in work opportunities because of all of the content I have created recently.

[🐤🥇 Jasper de Jager]

Good job!

I'll race you to 1,000,000 😂

Installed Java 8 + Android SDK + Android Emulator only using Terminal and without installing Android Studio. That was a ride! The best: most of the commands were already researched by one of our assistants so it's not even my win but even with his shellscripts in place this still was a full-day hackathon to get it all installed correctly on my system 🙈

[🐤🥇 Jasper de Jager]

Surviving days like that definitely counts as a win 😊

[Meir Gabay]

Created a free Kubernetes Hands-On Self-Paced Course in which you'll create a local Kubernetes development environment on macOS or Windows and WSL2, including HTTPS/TLS and OAuth2/OIDC authentication.

Was tough, but totally worth it

[Gracie Gregory (she/her)]

Awesome!

For this week,

• I talked to one of my friend and got a freelance application which might be built with Flutter for frontend and rest api for backend.
• I decided to code with NestJs (A progressive Node.js framework) for backend.
• Normally, I wrote api with laravel, this time I took risk for NestJs.
• Since Tuesday, I learned about NestJs.
• Friday, I posted article for my dev.to and YouTube.
• This week, my office is also closed for national holidays so I got time to relax too.

Whatever, I enjoyed this week.
What about you?
What are you learning currently? let me know some <3

[Maxime Guilbert]

• I finished multiple courses on Kafka and Vault. (Kafka can be so much powerful, it's amazing)
• Continue to train my writing skills posting here (it's not huge posts, but step by step it will grow up - I hope)

[Matt Ellen-Tsivintzeli]

Had a little win today. Found a bug where I was converting string to int as base 16 when it should have been base 10.

It was difficult to catch because, as is often the case for me, the conversion from sensor signal to float is quite confusing. I'm gonna have to update the unit tests!

[Gracie Gregory (she/her)]

Nice!
