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 π
I'm very happy for you β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
I built and launched my personal blog (finally π₯³). 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 π.
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 π
Congratulations Bobby

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 got happiness. Simply happiness. β€οΈπ
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
Despite of fever, weakness, and cold, I still managed to write an article at DEV.
Sticking to the promises I made to myself π€
Me and @andrewbastin participated in FOSS 36 hour Hackathon and our project ebb won 25k INR prize.
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.
Iβve been working on a partnership between New Relic and Confluent. Weβre 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 Iβve done in years, and I didnβt realize that I missed it. Itβs good to be back doing technical things again, even if itβs only for a week or two.
