This week, I...

Scored some points with our SRE team!

I've been working in our company's version of a NOC (much more tasks that a typical NOC) for about 6 months and during that time had really been looking at what our SRE's were up to. Heavily considering applying there in the near future.

Recently had the chance to sit down with 2 of them to over a project I was working on for my team (Python API w/ VueJS frontend admin page thing). Sparked a bit of a conversation with them. A few weeks later, one of them reached out to me about VueJS and how I might be able to help him with a project he's working on. More than happy to help, I whipped something together that day and sent him a few screenshots.

Sounds like I've impressed a few on the SRE team with that. Now I just gotta get some more experience and will hopefully join them!

This week, I wrote an article on Cypress and Vuejs. Been nearly 4 months since I last wrote one on Vuejs. I have written a few since then but I wasn't too motivated to write. Hope to start writing consistently again.

I'll post it later today after some editing πŸ˜ƒ

This week, I made my first contribution to an Open source project which was trivial ( opening an issue for a bug in the UI ) but I'm proud of it nevertheless.

Looking forward to making contributions to other open source projects by not only opening issues but by contributing with code, improving the documentation, etc

Reactored some code a developer before me wrote (it didn't work and it had no comments and it was a high priority to my boss to get it working.) After some hair pulling I made sense of it, found their errors, and my boss was impressed! I also wrote my first article ever on any platform, on here. So that was fun!!!

I completed posting my series on Meditation for Programmers here on dev.to (although I'll probably do a follow up article).

I also built the email launch sequence for my upcoming online course.

Did an end-to-end demo for a client that was well received.

Loved the people around me as best I could.

Saving the series to read later. Getting into a meditation habit has been one of my remote work failures this year.

Excellent! I've been using the Done app (on the app store) and it's great for building habits.

Now do it again!

I'm about to post about my online course in meditation for devs, keep an eye out!
