Holidays are almost over 😭 Back to Reality 😱

While some of us might be back to work already after a glorious holiday, some of us will be back after the New Year's holiday and will face the inevitable. I am one of the latter and is definitely not quite ready yet.

I am curious on what did you do during the long holiday - either personal and professional wise. Below is my story.

  1. Spent my leave on staycation. I hang out with the family and in-laws. Lots of shopping and ice skating.

  2. Ate a bunch of unhealthy food I shouldn't be eating - more than what I imagined. Major diet after New Year to follow. 😊

  3. Finally, wrote couple of ReactJS articles here at dev.to and created a video version that I am very proud of (still honing my video recording skills). Below are the links if you want to check it out.

Thanks for the dev.to community for a great, warm support of the articles.

I did something very similar to your 1 and 2. For my 3. I spent some time cleaning up my work setup, both the desk and monitor/keyboard setup as well as the tools I use on a day to day basis like skhd. I also spent quite a bit of time reading about Rust and starting writing code. I never got time for it so now was the time to learn.

looking into Rust during the holidays is definitely a good use of your extra time.

Jack Dorsey CEO of both Square and Twitter said that Rust is a great language. What is your experience and how do you like it?

Holidays are almost over, and it feels like time flew by too quickly. Soon, it'll be back to the grind with minggu sekolah and all the tasks waiting. Reality is calling, and I'm not quite ready to answer yet! 😭
