This week, I...started working on a talk!
This gif is perfect 🤣
I did the morning grocery shopping with both babies all by myself.
This is an enormous win. The win is huge.
👏Great job! What a win. God bless you and your family. 💝
Congrats! It's not easy!
I gave my first talk and was on a D&I panel at my work! I didn’t think public speaking was too scary before, but I’ve shown myself that I can do it. 🎉
That is so cool! congratulations! I've applied to my first talk in local javascript community. I am super scared though.
I've given a public presentation in one of the hackathons before but it didn't go that well, I was scared during the presentation too so I missed out some important points.
I hope I'll do good this time :)
Congratulations, may you share the slide to learn more about it? 😊
Yes! I will grab the link and paste it directly below my comment.
Done! :D
I shared my slides from this talk on Twitter!
Wow, this is amazing. Always first is the hardest one. Let's do one more, to forget there was a time you were scared by it.
& congrats on being the first person of the newsletter❣️
Thank you! May I ask, what newsletter are you referring to?
My apology for being unmindfulness. I just assumed that everyone in dev community is receiving this by default. maybe not the case.
by
newsletter, I meant the one from dev.toDouble congrats again❣️
I just spent SO much time looking for this! I found it in my notifications settings. 🤣
Congrats!
First week at my new job! Don’t have a lot of tasks yet, but I guess that it is normal when one arrive in the middle/end of a sprint. But I managed to complete the few ones that I got! 😁
Congrats! It's totally normal to start slow. Even more in the middle of a sprint. Wish you good luck
Thanks, Mauro, that's comforting to know that it is a normal thing!
Way to go!
Thanks! ☺️
That's great. Congrats on the new job and good work completing those tasks on your first week!
Thanks!
I didn't open work slack while on my PTO this week 🙂
I wrote a series on database concurrency, gave a well-polished and well-received internal talk to my organization on the topics in that series, and practiced the presentation standing instead of seated to see how I might do standing to speak at a conference - though I used my old cane (my knee is bad and my feet have nerve damage).

Mine is sort of a strange "win", my week started with me being laid off from my trainee position, not due to anyones fault, just the company wasn't ready to grow just yet. I really loved the position so Monday and Tuesday was a stressful time as I'm not really ready to be in a junior developer position as my skillset is quite limited.
But instead of letting that get me down I decided that the best way forward was to up-skill so applied for Lambda School for Web Dev and have been accepted! While this will mean that my wife and I will be on a extremely tight budget for the next nine months and will be living in a friends garage, it's also super exciting to be part of something which will get me into a great job!
Quite the roller coaster! Good luck with Lambda School - hopefully it's great!
Thanks! I appreciate it! :)

Your post is wonderful! ❤
Thanks!
Well deserved because the post is quite nice and easy to follow :)
Thanks!
I got on a video call and didn't die (just got a red, blotchy neck) 😅
I started working on an Opensource Project 🎉
Github: github.com/PJijin/Show-Path
And another thing:
"99% of the time, you won't be the first person to come up with your idea. That's fine! It's a sign you've hit on something real." -- dev.to/csallen/three-tips-for-buil... Go for it!
I have seen several roadmap threads and images. Through show-path I have tried to include some basic details & video tutorial that can help beginners to level up. 👨💻
Nice article 👌🏻
I had an idea for a learning path tool since I recently started traversing the containerization web. I thought the idea just died, but I guess it found a nurturing home in your mind.
Keep on keeping on! :D
😃 Great.
Feel free to contribute to this project 🎉
I've created my own list for fullstack web app development. It has several things not presented in your list. Feel free to copy.
