I posted two blog entries this week - part 4 of my cycle on spiral patterns, and an unrelated one about laying out dots on a dice using CSS :nth-child, :is and :not pseudo-classes and display: flex (and also made a 3D dice doing the same but with display: grid)
Part 3 of said cycle is apparently "Trending in CSS" this week :O
Getting back into SVG and making a lot of fun discoveries. E.g. I had no idea even viewBox was animatable :D
Following my recent (re)discovery of the sheer joy of swimming while on holiday, wife and I decided to make it a regular thing. Testing local swimming pools - a quarter of a century after I last visited one.

Learned a lot about UI/UX design! I may have mentioned this before, but I am not an artist, so a lot of these concepts are foreign to me. It's a nice challenge though!

I trained around 70 developers for 12 hours (4 hours for 3 days) a course on intermediate Python. This was done internally at my company. I have all the material compiled in a GitHub repository: github.com/debakarr/intermediate-p... if someone wants to have a look 😄

I survived the week where most projects, challenges, live courses, and stuff converged into one. Juggling 4 main things it's pretty demanding lol.

recorded a full update to one of my most popular Linked In Learning course - "learning Hadoop" - added Cloud implementation, and Kubernetes to cluster demos. Process data faster and cheaper FTW.
