I have anxiety issues and this year is taking a huge toll on my mental health. I've started doing yoga and meditation since last week and am giving much importance to my mental and emotional well being than I used to. I also am using notion to organize my stuff more efficiently. I'm proud of my lil steps towards a healthier and happy me! ^-^

Hi Aishika, This is really a win. I think we all technocrats have this anxiety issue. I am also facing this issue of anxiety these days and it takes a toll on my sleep patterns too. Me too working on it like following:

Stick to day working hours,
Evening time play with my duo Kidz 30-45 mins,
Must have 2hrs difference between dinner & bedtime
Breathing exercises 5-10 mins before sleeping (Elom Vilom)
Morning time go for 30mins cycling or running (if sleep was good last night :) )

More important "LET IT GO, LET IT GO.......mmmm...." :)

Congrats, Aishika! Lockdown also got me into meditation and yoga and it surely helps a lot.

That's wonderful 💌
I'm very happy for you ♥️♥️♥️

I built and launched my personal blog (finally 🥳). It's built with Gatsby, and I'm quite happy with the result and the journey too considering I started from the basic starter template.

I also wrote a quick tutorial post on it which I reposted here. It happens to be my first post on dev.to even though I've been a member here since 2018 😁.

Ryan Haber • Sep 21 '20

Oh, man, that looks really nice. Nicely done. I even like the color. :D

Konstantin Anthony • Sep 23 '20

Pretty cool! Blog posts are github issues and you have github comments, really neat.

Bobby Iliev • Sep 18 '20

Also received a new DEV badge for consistent writing

Not a pretty huge thing but converted my self hosted blog(cybercafe.dev) to a fully functioning PWA. Also written an article about it. If anybody who is running a Ghost JS instance and interested, can check out the steps here. It helped me understand service workers, browser cache api and webmanifest.

Thomas Bnt ☕ • Sep 19 '20

I got happiness. Simply happiness. ❤️😄

Shubham • Sep 18 '20

I released an initial 0.1.0 version of my self hosted URL shortener on GitHub! It's the biggest open source project I've made so far and I've learnt SO much by trying to use stacks I'm not as comfortable with, like Go, Sapper, and Docker! :D

Vaibhav Khulbe • Sep 18 '20 • Edited

Despite of fever, weakness, and cold, I still managed to write an article at DEV.

Sticking to the promises I made to myself 🤞

Liyas Thomas • Sep 19 '20

Me and @andrewbastin participated in FOSS 36 hour Hackathon and our project ebb won 25k INR prize.

Matthew Daly • Sep 18 '20

Wrote my first Psalm plugin (for Zend Framework 1).

There's not much to it (I just generated a stub of all the functions and classes that Zend 1 provides, then deleted all the non-Zend stuff it generated, and it was pretty much done), but once it was in place on the legacy project I maintained it reduced the time for Psalm to run from around 15 minutes to 90 seconds. That means I can run it more often, and get faster feedback in my editor.

I’ve been working on a partnership between New Relic and Confluent. We’re partnering to build an open source Kafka Connect plug-in for New Relic so devs can make observability data pipelines to New Relic through Kafka (which will be available on the Confluent Hub as well). This week we hit some friction, and I managed to spin up a small team of sales-side engineers to finish out the build.

This is the first PM-type work I’ve done in years, and I didn’t realize that I missed it. It’s good to be back doing technical things again, even if it’s only for a week or two.

Justin Ho • Sep 19 '20

Published my second post ever on both my site and DEV. Really enjoy writing about my processes and hope it helps others out!

Started shipping the new iteration of my product on learnetto.com

Got interviewed on a podcast for bootstrappers where I shared some of my struggles as a solo founder - bootstrapped.fm/148-hrishi-mittal-...

Jerry • Sep 30 '20

I discovered the Building a Second Brain concept (basically it's a way to keep track of information that matters to you in one single app) a couple months back and have been gradually integrating it into my life. Last week feels like the first week that it's finally come together. As in, I have my reading/highlighting flow settled, am actively progressively summarising (for example, when you first highlight a passage from a book it is simply done as a moment of intrigue so you go back to your highlights and find the core piece of information that made you highlight it in the first place - a means to consolidate information), and my sense of organisation in Evernote has much improved.

Maulik • Sep 19 '20

I took a week off from my job to enjoy spending time on my hobby. Here is the video of me pursuing my hobby.

I have not recorded this video to post here so ignore me in the video, I generally look good 😜.

Starting and completing two entries to the Github PayId hackathon within 24 hours of the deadline. And learning a lot about Github Actions along the way. Oh, and in the process coding probably the silliest thing I have ever coded

Doing a math course and was not satisfied at my level of understanding of the material and felt that I did not do my best for the practice test last week. Checked the result that now am more motivated to continue studying.

My latest "Fullstack Frontend" blogpost did rather well. Hopefully I'll reach product/market fit with the project this year, lol.

Finished off the last iteration before pilot for my project at work. And even managed to clear out my defect list before the final build.

Jaime Rios • Sep 18 '20
