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! ^-^
Yeah I have a very lot of depression and insomnia, and I know how feels haven't a cool mental health, that destroy you a lot, my error is try to solve my mental problem with alcohol and with that try to change my emotional situation, I have to fight a lot with my mind, lately I skate to try get de-stress and keep my mind busy and focus in another things, it works a lot but don't how I would like, so animus, Never Give Up😉😁👍✌️
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:
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 😁.
Oh, man, that looks really nice. Nicely done. I even like the color. :D
Pretty cool! Blog posts are github issues and you have github comments, really neat.
I have hit 45000 views on Dev 🙌
Congratulations Bobby
Thanks a lot Maulik! 🙌
Got featured for the first time in the Dev weekly newsletter with Bootstrap Templates - Open-Source and Free - 300+ reactions.
That was pretty cool :).
Nice ...
I beat Covid! 🎉
Happy to back at work on our OSS project - Appsmith ! 💪
Onwards and upwards!
Congrats Arpit
Just got a new freelance client this week and started helping a friend build their music portfolio site 😄

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.
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
Me and @andrewbastin participated in FOSS 36 hour Hackathon and our project ebb won 25k INR prize.
I got happiness. Simply happiness. ❤️😄
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.
Despite of fever, weakness, and cold, I still managed to write an article at DEV.
Sticking to the promises I made to myself 🤞
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.
Published my second post ever on both my site and DEV. Really enjoy writing about my processes and hope it helps others out!
Using Entity Relationship Modeling By Example
I finally found the time to build an OpenStreetMap Gutenberg block that works the way I like!
Wrote my first proper article this week, it got over 19k views and over a 100 reactions.
Why I switched to Linux full time
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.
I doubled the number of my subscribers at Daily C++ Interview !
And today, I gave a talk at Agile Tour Sophia: Refocus on the Agile Developer!
I've added a new feature to my personal website. And I'm very proud of it even when it looks ugly and it's not responsive yet lol

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.

Mine was getting some SWAG from a client I'm collaborating with.

I'm happy.
