What was your win this week?

Hey y'all 👋

Hope you all have wonderful weekends!

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
  • Shopping for new clothes 👗

A clip from Avatar: The Last Airbender... Sokka, Toph, Katara, and Aang are all standing in an open doorway dressed in Fire Nation clothes. Sokka is looking very excited, smiling and clapping, the word "Shopping!" is above his head. The rest of the crew are looking mildly excited.

Start testing to learn stuff in small pices, start with Clojure and Modern javascript.
Looks like a good way to learn in a busy world.

Haha, shameless plugs are def encouraged here. 🔌

Same goes for shameless pugs!

A pug looking snug on the couch. The pug looks back wide-eyed at the person filming it. Who knows what's going on in that pugs mind, but it's probably shameless.

Have an accessibility presentation.

I got stuck in traffic and lost so I was 15 minutes late.

My presentation broke so I had to improvise and just do a live audit and explain things instead.

And I still got great feedback and loads of people came up to thank me after so…I consider that a win! 💗

Went back to college after 25 years away! Have one class to finish in my minor and then my original degree is done. And I've decided to start another degree immediately thereafter -- getting a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Software Application Development with a minor in Philosophy.

Oh wow, that's seriously awesome Dan! So cool that you're headed back to finish off that previous degree, but also gonna add another under your belt. The combo you're gonna have sounds like a strong one.

I really wish I had taken some Philosophy courses... but hey, it's never too late to go back.

Oh heck yeah, Chantal! 🧊🔨

Thank you so much for helping to break the ice on so many different DEV posts. This really means a lot to us here... when someone leaves a comment on a post, it makes it so much more likely that others will. These can turn into conversations that are just as interesting as the posts.

I really think this is one of the main things that makes us a community and not just a publication. So, just gotta say that we really appreciate ya helping us out in this way!
