My first article on freeCodeCamp got published! 🥰
It's one of my big wins because freeCodeCamp helped me a lot at the beginning of my webdev learning journey. So it feels good to give back to the community. ✨️
Way to go! 🥳
Thank you, @dumebii! 😄
Can you share on how to publish your first article on freecodecamp?
First, I had to apply to become a writer at freeCodeCamp. After got accepted, then I wrote the draft of the article. Then they reviewed and published the article.
Whoop whoop! Congratulations!
Thanks, Barry! 😄
Amazing, freeCodeCamp helped me too
Wooohoo! That is seriously awesome, Ayu. Major congrats! 🙌
Thank you, Michael! 😄
Wrote about and made some code contributions to Postmarks, social bookmarks for the Fediverse! And then, we went camping 🌿 🏕️
Social bookmarks in the Fediverse
Andy Piper ・ Sep 11
Loving the setup! Hope ya enjoy the great outdoors, Andy. 🏕🚙
Also, excellent #fediverse post — love the idea of postmarks and being able to share bookmarks. 🙌
This reminds me that I previously relayed a feature request for adding a similar mechanic to DEV in this GitHub discussion called Allow folks to share reading lists. I think I may have to go back to this one and advocate for it. 🙂
It would offer a brand new way for folks to be able to interact with content... build a link list of posts you like and share it. Plus, it would jive well with our current reading list. It's a win-win... the person building the list can organize their reads and hopefully get some cred for sharing a cool list + the authors of the posts in the list get to have their posts shared in a collection and seen by more folks.
Nice!
I created the
react-state-factorynode module, which helps to make the useReducer great again. You can read more about it here:react-state-factory

Got mooore plants 🌱😆
Took most of the week off!
Ooooo nice! I just got back from some time off recently too. Had last Friday + Monday and Tuesday off... I went to the Outer Banks (the beach) and it was so refreshing! 😌
Did you find any treasures there? ;)
Haha!! Not this time around. Saw a lotta metal detectors out there sweeping the coastline though. 🙂
I guess you better go back again then ;)

Also, I started learning Dart and Flutter this week! Hope to ship my own SaaS one day!
Congratulations!! 🥳
Thank you 😉
I finally am getting attention on a side project I have been working on for years! I haven't been very good about promoting it, granted, but it's still good to start seeing other people using it.
The project looks interesting, I hope to play around with it soon!
Oh that's awesome to hear, Michael!
modulo.js sounds really cool btw, glad it's getting some well-deserved attention. 🙌
definitely speaking at the AWS Community Day in Munich!!! speaking at a conference was one of my early goals ✅
and even beside being a speaker, just being there and getting to know great people was a win for itself!
I've got another brilliant idea for a project and made a poster.
I've also launched a waitlist for the project so anyone interested can join!
Waitlist
I finished a whole 6-week program and even though I didn't complete the project, I submitted the weekly updates made it all the way to demo day (which is tomorrow Sept 16).
Also, I'm not totally sick after all that odyssey!
Bashed together a shell script (see what I did there? 😂) to automate some of the manual processes that were tripping up the juniors when starting a new project. It’s not done yet (still have a few more actions to integrate), but as a 1.0, it totally works.
Joined DEV's Discord for moderators!
I solved a problem related to SSR in Next.js and published an article based on it.

Yaaay!
I received a swag from Offerzen
Ah yes! You too are collecting OfferZen T-shirts ;) My wife is starting to get sick of seeing only OfferZen shirts in my cupboards, but I proceed to wear all the swag anyway!
Yah l like those tshrts!
Is it normal if when I see this post each week I want to respond "I had survived"? 😅
Lol! Good question? I suppose as long as you got a sense of humor about it, I think it's okay. 😀 Surviving is most definitely a win.
My win this week. Hmmmm
1) My article trended on Dev Community. I was so surprised and humbled.
📝How to use embeds in your Dev Community blogposts 🧾

2) Although it came in late, but I found that I made it to Dormoshie's Javascript Trends blog for an article I wrote a while ago. This is the second time this article is getting featured and it feels surreal tbh
Finally wrapped my head around PDFMake. Its a pain. I'm also diving into the world of big data.
Created a python lambda with layers to replace a legacy Monolith web application project was estimated at 4 weeks managed to complete it and test in under 3 weeks. The solution created will depreciate 12 VM's in Azure so saving my company a substantial amount of money and at the same time improving quality of the solution. Feels super good when things go your way. :)
I wrote my first 2 blog posts here on this platform. It's been a while since I've done writing in the dev space and it's been so refreshing to restart back in this community!
I also built and published a Sudoku app in React Native, it's currently available for iOS here.
I still need to test and deployed to Google play for the Android devs, but I want to add more features on the iOS side before I port it to android :)
I got enough score for moderation on stackoverflow within a week and I managed to make my own extension in Rust for PHP to work asynchronously :)
Awesome
Found (and submitted a PR for) a 32-year-old bug in the Perl debugger.
I got a pretty big one today that I can't share until next week, so we'll say that my win this week was from last Saturday when I finished the first draft of my book "Refactoring with C#"!
I passed my AWS Solutions Architect Associate Exam today
I learned swimming.
I spent a week in NYC for a company onsite. It is always great to meet my colleagues in person!
I solved 5 #Leetcode problems and I now have 73 total. In the past couple of months I've been solving at least 3 problems every week, it's a big win for me.
Having a 1000 followers.
I finally published my first article here on dev. Check it out and drop a comment ❤️
I did a short presentation of some of my personal projects at my first every developer conference and got some interesting feedback afterwards too!
Got push notifications going on my current Vue3 PWA project. Learnt some new (for me) tech along the way, so a double-win of sorts.
l also received a Dev Community Bagde
I have decided to become accountable for learning React by rewriting an existing project into React code.
Published my first blog on Rust and garnered over 100 views!
