Responding to myself here! My wins for the week were starting a new job that speaks to my passions and starting to get up to speed at a new company! AND remembering to stretch โฎ
Huge congratulations to you!!โโ
Myself and a friend replaced 125ft last weekend and finished cleaning up this week. We had to remove the old wood post by hand and redug all the holes by hand. For longevity we used steel post and screwed the pickets in instead of nailing them. I haven't been this sore in ages.
Next up... Side 2 of 3.
P.s. the fence looks like it's leaning but the ground is actually super uneven and local code dictates we don't modify the grade at all. This is about half the fence. Wasn't sure how to get a panorama to look decent in the post.

Not sure if it is a win, but it is an auspicious beginning.
I have just bought a very short domain name polv.cc. Actually, a shorter version of the old one. Planned to stuff everything into the subdomain, including something like URL-shortener.
Wow! I also got a domain name of my dreams: Clajj.com
Sent out the first issue of my newsletter!
Nice!
I made apple pie and didn't burn it!
So excited that you're on the team!!!!!
My win this week was releasing another episode of DevDiscuss, alongside @maestromac , @ben , and @sophiedebenedetto :
My win for the week was that i found dev.to and have contributed a small piece and am finally part of a community which is a big step for me and i finished two projects on codecademy today! Now i am done for the day! That is my win!
Making it to friday alive. Had a stress-related BP peak yesterday. One would think you would be safe from burnout while working from home... guess you're not.
In these times, making it through the week with your mental health top of mind is definitely something to celebrate! There is a lot to adapt to right now. I hope you get some time to take care of yourself/get a breather this weekend, Manuel! Happy Friday ๐
This was last week's win, but my wife and I got a dog!!
Her name is Cora and is a 7-year-old, retired racing greyhound. While she definitely gets the zoomies from time to time, she mostly sleeps all day.
We're loving this lazy dog!
Dogs ๐โค
Cora is so cute!! And you and Caitlyn look so happy :)
Awww
Congratulations!! Cora looks like such a sweet girl
I got my first issue on my first open source project! I was so happy when I got the message "Your lib is useful but is missing something!" -"Ay! I will help!!" ๐
Congrats!!
Hey! Iโve:
Yeah, wild week!

It's small, but it's a step into starting to write and document my work more.
Congratulations :D And best of luck with the hackathon!
Thanks :)
Realizing Friday night that I have an important meeting Saturday and did absolutely nothing in preparation, then spending the whole of Friday evening implementing what needed to be implemented and doing a great job. Kinda bittersweet but still a win in my book. ๐
Just in the nick of time! Totally been there. A win for SURE! ๐
Seems to be a normal every Friday occurence ๐
Submitted my dissertation! Unfortunately I have 3 exams this week so haven't had time to take part in GitHub + Dev graduation :-( But! I'll still write a blog post on it regardless of whether or not I'll get free swag :)))
