This year was truly the most transformative!
^ these were definitely some memorable ones!
EDIT: Adding more so I can look back next year to get an idea of the growth made.
AMAZING!
Nice!
Splendid
Great job!
2021 was a tough year:
But not writing this for a pity party 😅
Takes a lot for me to be negative about things. Big believer in "Out of the toughest times comes the biggest triumphs". I'm really looking forward to what happens in 2022 ✨
And 2021 wasn't all that bad 🚀
There's likely a lot I'm forgetting about too. It's so easy to remember the "negative" things but when you stand back and take a look, there's can be so much to be grateful for.
Well done everyone for making it through the year! And happy new year for 2022!
Stay Awesome! ＼ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ／
Sorry for your loss Jhey and the rough patches but like you said it wasn't all that bad. We're so lucky to have you in the community and I feel privileged that we got to hang twice together even if it was only virtual.
This deserves my rare Loki fried chicken GIF 😎
Thanks Nick! 🙏
Yeah, I'm all good. I'm in a good place and looking forward to the New Year. And as you say, it's been great to hang twice 😎 Get something in the calendar for this year coming?
Haha – I've got to steer clear of the fried chicken Nick, come on! 😅
Sorry for your loss, but also congrats to pushing through and still being here. Sometimes life knocks us down but you're kicking ass. Best of luck in 2022!
Thank you Lauren! 🙏 I'll take that.
Yeah, too right. The toughest times often lead to the strongest growth. I'm real happy with how 2021 ended.
Best of luck in 2022 to you too! Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you for your vulnerability. So sorry to hear about the pain you experienced in 2022 but huge congrats on all of your amazing wins.
Glad to have you here, Jhey.
Hey Gracie!
No problem at all. I kinda learned to be a bit more open with all these things in 2021. If you don't speak up, who's going to know? 😅 It's good to talk. Not everything is a "Highlight reel". Saying that, 2021 will go down as a "highlight" in a strange sense in the fact that I learned a lot about myself and got through it.
Thank you! 🙏 It's easy to forget the things we get up to.
By the way. 2022 has been great so far, it was 2021 where I had some painful moments 😜 😅
Glad to be here! Keep up the awesome things you do with DEV && Happy New Year! 🎉
Awesome year, even the bad stuffs are part of our development. Congrats!
Very true! Thanks Ernesto. Happy New Year! 🎉
This year was the best year ever.

So many things! But if I had to choose one:
I've written a book to build a Mouseless Development Environment! I know it helped hundred of developers, I'm more than proud.
I want to write a book since I'm a kid, it's a dream coming true. I've already another one in the making, and many more ideas for new ones after that!
I've summarised my year in 2021. I'm happy with the results I achieved.
January: I started with my first experience in the industry. I was completed for the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur Winter of Code, my first open-source program.
February: Completed my internship at the Crio.Do's Winter of code 2021. Learned a lot of Web development skills.
March: I completed my first internship at Lethical.ai. This was my first exposure to the industry, where I learned coding and soft skills.
May: I received the SUSE Scholarship program Cloud-Native Foundations Course to start my career in DevOps and Cloud Computing. This gave me the opportunity to learn @Docker
and Kubernetes. Different aspects of cloud computing and DevOps.
June: Got a training scholarship from The Linux Foundation. The LiFT scholarship has enabled me to experiment with Linux. This scholarship gives me the opportunity to learn under The Linux Foundation itself. I'll be taking the Essentials of Linux System Administration (LFS201) Course and taking the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) exam later this year.
July: I was chosen as the Google Developer Student Club Lead for my campus. Currently building Google Developer Student Club - DSI. I was involved with some internships at the time, but I did not complete them due to personal issues.
Also, completed my tenure as Lead at CodeChef Collge chapter at campus.
August: The best month for me. I got an internship at JUSPAY as a TPA (Technical Product Analyst) in the Infrastructure Team. I'm currently learning Kubernetes and other DevOps tools. In addition, my team won the Devfolio National Hackathon, won 14,000 rupees, and was offered future opportunities by Polygon Technology
September: In the course organised in my company, I became Amazon Web Services (AWS) Certified. I learned different services offered by AWS and practiced them.
October: Served as the facilitator of #30DaysOfCloud on our campus. Guided and mentored many students in the Google Cloud tracks. Completed #hacktoberfest2021 .
November: I received 400$ for participating in a research project sponsored by PayPal Pvt. Ltd. I researched the PayPal Payment Gateway.
December: Other than my Internship and community work, I was trying on a few more opportunities. Still waiting on the results :)
I have been fortunate to receive support from my family, friends, mentors, coworkers, and bosses. I hope to be able to pay that forward by doing good work and providing community service whenever I can.
Onwards and Upwards!

Too many small wins to count, but my "biggest" win was that I socialized more instead of just coding. Did it cost me some time? Yes. Was it worth it? Big yes.
Here's my 2021:Year in Review
All sorts of things. But my big win was investing in self development.
