found out I had broken into the top 5 for all time for the accessibility tag on StackOverflow (something I have been working on for a couple of years so that was a nice surprise)
50k views on DEV.to is a nice little milestone considering I have been posting less than 3 months, looking forward to 100k!
rearranged my office so I can finally get my gym stuff in the house instead of the garage! No more excuses for COVID curves!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I published on Dev for the first time in a long time, and I have another post in the works that is short but I'm very proud of it. I wrote my first code pen for it!
Here's my new post: dev.to/brodan/hopefully-an-intro-t...

I added stack traces and debugging instructions, also received and made a few PRs.
But I guess the biggest win is gwion beating luajit (interpreter mode) on the method-call benchmark, by what I think is a fair margin.

looks like I can't the benchmark to show.
here it is:

Gwion is growing, that's amazing. I always want to learn more
about it... But I have no time! 😭 But when I'm done with university,iI'm definitely going to spend some time with it.

Jérémie Astor • May 8 '21

This sounds nice!
Let me know, I'll be happy to help.

Gerrit Weiermann • May 8 '21

Built a crawler in rust, that fetches playlists of a radio station and puts them into spotify. My first project in rust, had some headaches though
Started a skill share course in assembly, hope I keep doing it
ordered a pc upgrade I wanted for very long :)

I was excited to have started a new front-end developer role! Speaking of which, do you know a polite way to say “no” to a client if they offer me a new project, which I’d no longer have time for? I can’t take on a new developer role and do freelance work at the same time. I searched all over the Internet for solutions, but nothing matches what I have in mind. Help would be appreciated!

Thu Htet Tun • May 8 '21

New Feature for my project: Released a new feature to integrate twitter feeds into newsletters at postheat.com
Marketing: Big loss here, still trying to figure out how to best position and market my project. I spent alot of time sharing content, but I received minimal traffic.

Daniel Ziltener • May 8 '21

Wrote and finished a new server concept for our company in org-mode and ditaa
Partially adjusted our Bastille templates so they can be used to set up both the dev boxes and the soon-to-be live server :)
Set up TimescaleDB, pg_cron, and started moving some logic into SQL, learned quite a bit new things about SQL in the process :)

MiguelMJ • May 8 '21

Consistency is harder than it looks. Great job!

Worked on a personal project for a few hours
A positive end to a bad customer/client contact event
refactored a classic asp.net project to asp.net core 5 on azure, deleting lots of no longer needed code. So much cleaner!
Got me a 6" Metroid

Rohith Gilla • May 8 '21

I made a PR to the next-js repo.
I don't know if it will be merged or not, but I am really happy that I was able to make a PR to such a huge repo.

Vaibhav Khulbe • May 8 '21

My previous freelance client came back with a new project after nearly 6 months :)

I get a new job

westcoastkraken • May 9 '21

I reached out to Google's disability assistance group to find a way to address my mental health and knowledge/skill challenges. I've dabbled since my Commodore, and I want to keep my fond memories near in my day to day, while being able to help address current and future needs of the Users of our future. There is something very fulfilling in that for me.

Rasikamurali • May 9 '21

This week

I completed a course on Data Analysis Using Python. I've been working on this course consistently for the last three weeks and finally finished it!
I attended TiECon 2021. I've been waiting for more than a month for this online conference and it was great fun.

Alex Lakatos 🥑 • May 8 '21

Someone reached out and said one of my blog posts has been called "inspiring", and I couldn't be prouder :D

FWIW, the blog post was dev.to/lakatos88/how-to-get-your-f...

Started making a vm and a anime downloader, continued working on an older project and first used git branches without messing it up, trying to make a memory allocator in webassembly using assemblyscript.

Found a way to do an update to a column in a table with multiple values based upon other column values, using SQL CTE (common table expression).
It's the SQL equivalent of Rocket-Science! 😆

Siddharth • May 8 '21

Participated in the Bug Smash and smashed two _{^{(really small)}} bugs. Got a new badge!!

I reached a milestone of 3k reads. I was looking forward to it some time ago!

Peter Witham • May 8 '21

I finally got off my butt and learned to create a fastlane > GitHub action to run my iOS tests on push. Which granted is something I should of done ages ago, but better late than never.
