Well after 4 months at my job, I was told that I am a lead over an entire new api that we are building. Plus they gave me someone that I get to guide in the direction of the API. This is huge for me, I am so excited that I get to mentor someone!

My current project ServerMonitor reached 10 stars on GitHub today! 😍

GitHub logo ChristianLutzCL / ServerMonitor

ServerMonitor is a web application for monitoring websites.

ServerMonitor

Build Status | Main branch

Build Status | Development branch

ServerMonitor is a web application for monitoring the status of web pages based on their response. It also gives you additional information about the website like IP adress, ping and the location of the web server.

ServerMonitor

What's the intention of this repository?

Mostly, the goal is to learn (more or less) everything about web development Starting from getting an idea what to build, over planning what to do next up to coding the actual application Also getting into working with others on such a project is something, I want to accomplish with this project.

Can I already contribute?

Simple answer - Yes Unfortunately, there are currently no contribution guidelines for this project and therefore there is no "correct way" to contribute. If you have an suggestion for something that could be improved, simply do a PR (Pull Request).

I'm happy about anyone who…

I went from idea, to feedback to execution on my idea of doing Design Reviews for developers and beginning designers in less than a day.

I'm super excited by the feedback I've received and the amount of folks that were interested!

A big thanks to the DEV community for giving me the power to move it! Also on the back of it, I went from 85 followers on here to 215. That was an insane move in 24 hours for me.

From


to

In about a day of work :D

I think it's awesome how fast you turned around this idea and executed it!
Definitely an inspiration to do something similar for code reviews, keep your eyes peeled this weekend hopefully πŸ˜„

It's kinda small but I brought my lunch to work every day this week! Trying to save money by eating out less/only on weekends. Super stoked for the Green Chile Enchiladas I've got for today!

I attended two women in tech networking events (networking is always hard for me).

(And congrats on the upcoming wedding! Wishing you and your future spouse all the best!)

Introduced a student that is working with us to strong pair programming and managed to finish some work together in a couple of hours, and show him the difference between really clever code, and code that you will be able to read in a couple of months πŸ˜ƒ

I am a frontend developer with 4,5 years of experience.

I recently switched jobs and I passed my first performance evaluation (first 45 days). My boss said: "You behaved exactly like I thought you would."

I was like: "Oh God!".

She continues: "You brought into our company your former work experience, which is very positive, and you are always willing to help, always available. All I can say to you is: keep doing that."

I felt very proud of myself :D

This is my win this week

I was very excited about contributing to 'dev.to' but the fact that I'm not a ruby developer made me hesitate. Fortunately I can contribute to the client-side part. Also, this made me consider learning Ruby in the near future.

Got new running shoes and managed to put in four runs this week so far. Ready to start marathon training again!

Oh, and finished a paying project, sent out the invoice, and started on new one I've been wanting to work on for a while.
