Hey there!
I'm mixing up this week's win thread in honor of the upcoming new year (for those cultures that recognize the New Year as beginning this upcoming Saturday, that is).
Instead of looking back on our weeks, what would you say your biggest win was for this past YEAR? What are you proud of having accomplished?
All wins count — big or "small" 🎉
Examples of 2021 'wins' include:
- Starting a new job
- Learning to value your personal strengths
- Taking more time off to unplug with loved ones regularly ... or whatever else might have sparked joy and purpose ❤️
Congrats on your accomplishments in 2021! You're amazing 🌠

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.
All sorts of things. But my big win was investing in self development.
• Switch my career from SQA Engineer to Software Engineer.
• Learn JavaScript and NodeJS
• Build some amazing websites and web applications.
• Started Writing on Dev.to
• Join Twitter Tech Community
• Create an online presence
• Started a small creative agency with my friends
This year was really good one:
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!

This year I started believing in myself and started learning to code again.
I'm so pumped to keep learning and growing in 2022!
This year was truly a productive year for me!
I will keep on learning amazing new things, and will keep on sharing my knowledge and experience with everyone 😀
I wish everyone Happy Holidays! 🎉
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!
