This week I managed to build out a small news and press release site using a combination of google docs, google sheets and php (using the google php api client) to collect the data and then store it locally as json. 🙌

Twilio has a great tutorial for interacting with google sheets

Deploy my first package to NPM 🎉
This is a CLI for React (like create-react-app but lighter), with Parcel, ask for few extra deps, basic configuration for Caprover deployment, and 2 GitHub action for linting and building 🤓

I started doing 30 Days of CSS. The first week is coming to a close and, although I’ve a long way to go, I’m loving it and learning lots.

Got my 10th sponsor today, for a side project which was inspired by my dev.to article.

Just wrote about it here

My win, was that 9 days after hiring 2 juniors they (despite never talking to each other before employment with us):

• completed a Greenfield project, devising their own work strategy, test coverage, approach to several problems and "team" communication style. All with zero input from me. The code was good enough that other than nit picking at a few typos, I couldn't fault it, and it made me smile to read it.
• Succesfully delivered 2 bug fixes (before being included in a Sprint), including learning our development kit.
• Succesfully participated in their first Sprint Planning.

When I hired them, considering one has never worked as a dev, I told PMO "don't expect to even be talking to them for a month after they start."

Boy, do I look daft. 🙂

Set the new sprint period from 2 weeks to 1 week for my team. Is it winning ? 😁
