What was your win this week?

Hey everybody 👋

Hope everyone here has a wonderful weekend!

Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

All wins count — big or small 🎉

Examples of 'wins' include:

  • Starting a new project
  • Fixing a tricky bug
  • Sleeping in 🛌

A tiny cartoon dude, sleeping in a stack of pancakes. He has a pancake pulled up over himself like a blanket and there are 2 pancakes beneath him.

I finally managed to finish an article on which I had worked for two weeks, most of that time battling writer's block.

Additionally, I made my first contribution to Forem's repository by initiating a discussion about adding internationalization to dev.to: github.com/forem/forem/discussions....

Hey man, how are you?!

Are you running the Forem with Docker?!

No, I initiated the discussion using GitHub. However, you can do it by following this guide: developers.forem.com/getting-start....

After having tried to sell our startup's ChatGPT chatbots for 4 months, and failing miserably, things are finally starting to pick up, and we're getting many orders per week now. Not really developer related, but it's refreshing realising somebody out there is actually willing to pay for all the hard work we put into our development :)

It's a combination of everything. Our sales process, the communication on the website, SEO, Social Media initiatives, etc ...

Weeks not over just yet for me! The weekends are when I shine... Hopefully I'll have started on my programming language's virtual machine and it'll be a real win when I see some of the operations executing statements!

I built a Vscode Extension to get explanation for my codebase from the editor itself. It has over 50 installations now!

Had my email address leaked in a group email from a popular development based blogging site (they put all the email addresses in the to field!)

Yay! Does that count as a win? 😔

I'm actually curious how laws work around this stuff? I'm fairly sure in some jurisdictions (maybe not Thailand though) this kind of leak - either through a breach or by accident - is punishable by fines.

Does anyone know anything about this?

I'm happy to share that my quest to modernize my web application skills via Seltekit have been going well, and after following Huntabyte's video on youtube have got Sveltekit + Zod + Superforms working, along with drizzle-orm.

After watching (sullenly) as React grew in popularity, I feel that Sveltekit is a breath of fresh air and the alternative that makes a lot more sense to me.

Rich Harris and the others who have contributed to that whole project -- Thank You all.
