Got Airflow running on k8s!

Helped a colleague learn a new tool!

One of my blogs got picked up by a specialist newsletter!

Got a test so I can relocate to stay with family!

This week was awesome, I got to get a ton of real-world xp by applying my skills to a project that I really wished existed in the first place. And I was amazed by the response it had from people so I wrote about it too!!! I hope you like it too!⚡🎉🚀

Great job!

Do you have any recommendations for tutorials for animations?

For characters specifically, the okay samurai youtube channel is great (he works on Character Animator): youtube.com/user/okaysamurai

For animation generally (with After Effects), I've found the school of motion youtube channel to be awesome: youtube.com/channel/UCAhdxqdrDN3gW...

Congrats on your promotion!

I didn't quite get much done this week, but I'm glad it worked out for many more people around here :D

My bins weren't collected, my fridge broke down, but I had the patience to turn things around, I lept for my keys and got into my car, and and .. I ran out of rhyme but I survived this week and that is a surprise.

Not cool fridge

Exciting week for me! I launched my first web app using Python, Flask, and Heroku. About 2.5 months of effort went into it and overall the response I've received within my groups has been positive and encouraging. Excited to keep building and connecting with more developers ❤

  • Making a really important hotfix from business perspective
  • Clearing out requirements and successful investigation for IDScan integration into our product. It will save so much time when it goes live. Looking forward to integrating it now. : )

I built my first site with React, API context and the RAWG API 😊 it may not be much but I'm quite proud of it since I've just been learning React for around a month xD you can check it out here if you like: gamebrowserapp.netlify.app/

And this is the repo on github, in case anyone has any advice regarding the code 😅

I published my latest post after a lot of hard work and editing. It might not have gotten the traction I wanted, but, instead of looking at that as a failure, I'm going to continue to refine my approach and learn from the experience. dev.to/rossta/the-webpack-plugin-i...

To be honest, using dev.to for the first time and actually trying to talk about my projects. Took only 3 short years after I registered here :D
I quite like it here, so expect me to drop into your comments if you do awesome stuff.

Watching the Forem announcement on DEV was pretty exciting :)

And on a more personal note, I did a physically-distanced hangout with some friends, and that was pretty cool.
