This week, I...realized my flight was going to get snowed out so I got on an earlier flight to have a stress-free vacation!!

And even though I had nothing to do with this, @sarthology 's post felt like a win to me:

This week, I helped improve the code coverage in our front-end code base as well as merge code coverage reports. Outside of work, I'm close to finishing the enabling of strict mode in TypeScript for the Refined GithHub browser extension (Chrome, Firefox).

Enable strict-mode for TypeScript #1783

Basically going with the non-null assertion operator in almost all places, because as mentioned in github.com/sindresorhus/refined-gi..., the assumption with the extension is that the DOM nodes referenced in most cases are expected to be there. If they aren't, the extension breaks, a bug is filed and it's fixed.

One thing to note @bfred-it, is currently dom-chef types need to handle JSX (Element and IntrinsicElements) or we import @types/react.

This week, I crossed a bunch of items off my to-do list, including several that I had been putting off because I knew that they'd be especially tedious and frustrating. I've also been making a lot of progress in writing (non-technical) documentation for some of our internal processes. It feels really good to get more of this knowledge recorded.

This week, I got a ticket to Google Next 19 from Udacity, where I've completed some nanodegrees. I've been wanting to visit SF and SV and now I have an excuse.

I released Orchid 0.16.0 on Sunday, which added support for Groovydoc (in addition to the existing Java and Kotlin docs) and a new theme!

I also published a how-to post here on using Orchid for a Kotlin project's documentation.

This week, I... brought attention to the linting issues in the DEV project and helped open a discussion.

Could view linting be suppressing contributions? #1828

I have the feeling that view linting could be presenting a pretty strong burden to contributions. You could make a small contribution and get hung up with a huge linting fix chore as it currently stands.

I just feel like as an outsider without context it could add a bit too much burden at the time being. Thoughts on taking it away as a blocker to pushing and leave it as something folks can voluntarily make progress on until the app is at a closer place to being fully linted on the view with our preferred styles?

We try to do more "showing" than "telling" in this organization, but this week I felt the urge to tweet about how great our site is and it was super well received!

It brought it a bunch of new, curious folks to the platform—which is great. 😄

This week, I...

Restarted work on the next update for my learning Unity game. I also figured out how to get svg exported from my prototype/design tool to my Gatsby WIP site.
