After searching for a job for 444 days, I finally accepted an offer and will be working as a remote software engineer at FireHydrant.io.
Congrats! I know it must have been tough. 444 days is crazy. Looking at some of your articles now.
Yaaaaayyyyy!
Congrats Victoria! Must feel nice. :) Were you looking specifically for remote positions?
I was, but not exclusively. My fiancé and I plan on moving within the next year and I didn’t want to have to search for another job a few months from now haha. Remote just made more sense for my current situation.
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!!
That's a long time, congrats
Congrats!!
Haha, love that parrot! 🦜
My 'win' would be getting selected for a Senior level position! However, due to time differences, I declined the offer. But yes, I cleared 4/5 rounds :)
That’s amazing, congrats!
Thank you! :)
The win is that I got an email for an part time job interview!
why it's important , because our country is collapsed every thing is priced x5 , It will be a good support for my family.
That's great 🌞
Congrats, Omar!!! Wishing you all the luck.
Congrats Omar
Congrats!
My win this week was 2️⃣ happy clients. I improved the reach of a brand through an advert by 300% +. And delivered an MLP (minimum loveable product).
But it was in their tone that I could hear the satisfaction 🤸.
I got a new
urldomain kedro.dev. Its mostly for some side projects that I have subdomained on it, but there is now at least a landing page for the root url.I started learning MDX, and am going to try to build it with MDX since it is greenfield.
My win is that I started building INTRUDER ALERT SYSTEM using Open CV and Raspberry pi.....
Wish me good luck !! :)
I was thinking of something like this, please keep us updated on how it goes for you.
Thank you
Keep it up mate, and good luck.
Never touch OpenCV, yet have to start looking into it.
We're getting close to finishing the Preact upgrade for DEV. The Preact upgrade itself was simple, but the testing tools we use are not compatible with Preact 10.x. We've moved to preact-testing-library, the cousin of react-testing-library which is the recommended testing tool for React alongside jest.
We're almost finished migrating all the tests. So close! Hopefully early next week we'll get this merged and then we can start using new React features in Preact like fragments, hooks, context etc.
Not this week but 2 weeks ago I've got a job ! 🙌🏼
Edit : Nothing about dev, too bad 😕
Congrats!!
Thanks!
I'm procrastinating writing a language of my own, for a while. 😅
Writing a language sounds like procrastinating 😅
My win this week was a very successful refactor across three different language specific SDKs! We can all agree to love lightweight libraries :D
I reached the quarter-of-the-way-done milestone on my 100 day project: Suzanne makes 100 things in CSS
Can't believe how much I've learned already!
Awesome!!! Congrats, Suzanne!
Published v0.2.4 of my browser extension to Chrome & Mozilla for the DEV x Grant for the Web hackathon!

Also did a complete refactor of another Gatsby theme I made last year.
And clear all of my backlog at work this week!
I recorded my first podcast 🎙️ with Abdul Majed Raja from Atlassian recently - I'd lotta fun making it.

A repeat of a win I had a few weeks ago. A couple friends and I tore down another side of my fence and replaced it. 134ft this time. I had to do most of the demo work myself. The fence leans a little bit, but we had to use the existing holes which were anything but straight. We're both fortunate and unfortunate to have the fiber optic cable box for our neighborhood in our backyard. It's unfortunate because the wires are buried parallel to our fence line on three sides. It was also over 100F the whole weekend... Definitely waiting to replace the next side until a colder season.
Added a bunch of new functionality to my personal portfolio and blog including:
This week I was failed in a job interview due to my bad English (I come from Vietnam where not speak English and I did not learn it properly before), then I made a plan to improve it and start right the way. I guess this is my win :))
I feel you there. It is awkward when you know you aren't accepted by your English not your skill. Keep it up, the point is to communicate effectively not to speak fluent English! To inspire you, check out Eric Yuan, Zoom's CEO. He communicates extremely well despite his strong accent.
thanks so much!
Overcame the learning curve of Db'ing in Rust, which brought me to 60% of my payment app's prototype.
Got +30 points on Rust answers on StackOverflow.
Figured out a way to live paycheck-free in the Bay Area only working on my app.
I finally got a new Dev post out! It didn't really get any readers unfortunately, but I'm still happy to have published something! Check it out!
Had a lowkey week at work and was able to catch up on sleep.
I also published an article on enums and how to use them specifically in GraphQL 💯
PS: I’m still in need of a frontend mentor 🕺🏼
I took a mental health afternoon. It was definitely a win for my soul
I sold my first website yesterday! I’ve only been coding 2 months, and did it fully in just html/css! Super happy about it :)
After of years, I started to drawing again (digitally and w/ paper & pen), and now I'm working on new assets and on my own webcomic.
Also, I had my very first twitch stream, where I got one (1) viewer what made me happy, because someone enjoyed what I tried to share.
I finally got a big ticket through to pull request stage for implementing the whole front end of an enable/disable 2fa for an account, with all the UI in Angular. I also reached 49 consecutive days of learning German on Duolingo. Biggest achievement of all of this is doing it from home whilst also looking after my boys (with my partner, not alone) at home due to lockdown. And managed to write up an article for my blog.
I have completed my first React js, redux Project named Covid-19 Tracker. I am so happy today 😃 😃 . I have completed my one project before this. But in this, I fully worked hard.
Demo : covid19-tracker2002.netlify.app/
Github Repo : github.com/Hina-softwareEngineer/C...
Finally finishing multi tenancy in a web application, required a infrastructure re-write and different architecture since data importation had to be abstracted out into an Azure function implementing durable orchestration pattern.
Definitely a happy Friday 🎉!
I've been procrastinating writing a new article for weeks and finally published it today.
Why Learning First Programming Language is Extremely Hard
Mohammed Asker ・ Jun 12 ・ 6 min read
This is the farthest I've ever made it trying to learn web development. I always drop out after learning HTML and CSS. Once the tutorials start with JavaScript I give up. I'm into my second week with Lambda and have made it into JavaScript and OOP. This is a milestone for me.
Oh well, I guess this counts. I finally finished the large refactor I was working on for the past month and landed it just a few hours ago :)
This PR is a concentrated effort to break
PgpActivitydown to more logical parts that will allow this to be more maintainable and logical going forward. Also opens up the possibility to finally get rid of kotlin-android-extensions and replace it with ViewBinding.PgpActivityis a blackbox of arcane logic and bad design choices that stump contributors and maintainers alike and reducing development friction by bringing this up to standards is an important goal of mine.Generating a password both from the FAB as well as the Autofill action works as expected.
I've started learning Vue! So far, I've built a blog with a search feature. 😊 👩🏻💻
Well after a month of working on it, I released The Home of Web Automation, which at least to me is kind of special in its own way 😄

My win this week is that I resolved an issue that has been bothering me for long and currently implementing designs for the repo I am working on. But the biggest win I considered is that now I am flexible with the use of git rebase and I also created a blog on it - dev.to/aemiej/git-rebase-is-not-th... at last. I tried to explain it in layman terms hoping it will help others to understand rebase the way I do.
I reached 50 suscribers at my first product meetkoala.netlify.app/
That's awesome! 🔥
My win will be writing and posting on dev.to for the first time..
I helped one open-source developer to get the fund he needs to keep working on his repo!
He is generating +$500/m with my platform!
Big win!
I figured out how to bundle and minify static assets in ASP.NET Core to reduce response times and increase performance.
✌️
I peeked into the code, even I have forgot most of c, you have added nice comments
Finally got started with a daily routine focused on improving my mobility!
Building a React component for our app that shows and hides text but is actually accessible. Surprisingly all the public show more react packages are nowhere near accessible :)
Setting up auth0 web authentication in a NativeScript Angular app! Might write about it too since I had to piece together multiple articles, guides and documentation pieces to make it work 😄
Authentication can be complex, an article would be very helpful if you had the time
After five years, I've graduated (sort of haha)! My university is currently closed, but when it returns I'll issue my BSc Computer Engineer degree :)
Love the parrot!
Kind regards,
Tancredo <3
Learned how to bring our Dev environments down and bring them back up for patching!
I started learning Java this week and created my first small project using it. I also cleaned my entire work space up so I can go into next week with a little less distracting clutter.
Get to the 4 kyu in CodeWars. It's so difficult for me haha.
I finally started blogging! I'll be writing daily for at least some time. Today is my 5th day.
Read a new chapter of The Rust Programming Language book, after I left it aside for 2 or 3 months :)
I have added social logins to my chat applications built with nodejs.
realtimechatt.herokuapp.com
My internship which told me was cancelled due to covid-19, called me to propose a one month project.
Starting to be more active on social networks to build my personal brand, I look forward to speak up more about the things I’m passionate about
Starting new project of online education app
Published my first article here which is a beginner's guide to creating their first database.
Applied for my first Dev job. So that’s huge for me. I was worried that I’d never think I’m ready.
