Developed and deployed Postwoman API request builder. Which went viral, now trending on GitHub.

This week, I coordinated with @mrisdal and @sarajchipps to make this happen:

I think we made it everyone.

I launched a side project and wrote my first ever Dev post about it 😁

Recorded my first youtube video!

youtube.com/watch?v=srT3yqFsgCQ

And it was inspired by DEV! I was doing the daily code challenge (dev.to/thepracticaldev/daily-chall...), and just figured I'd record me doing it... so I think I'll do that for awhile, and see how I like it :)

I had my first post that surpassed 4096 views! Not much, but I went into it scared that I was gonna say all the wrong things, and came out with tons of validation and new perspectives. Super proud and looking to write some more ☺️

This week, I submitted 2 merged PR's to github.com/flexdinesh/typy and made a significant progress (50%, including unit tests 🔥) on the second open-source JS library that I'm working on right now.

Both involved TypeScript so I learned more new tricks and I gained a deeper understanding on the usage of Regex so it's a huge win for me ☺️

I got to meet a bunch of awesome people and interview them for my podcast.

I published one of those today! It was with Taylor Otwell, who created Laravel, it was really fun to talk with someone that had built such a prolific project.

I also had a chance to meet five or six other amazing developers this last week, and I'm really excited to share the stuff I learned from them 😃

I created my first Gatsby theme and published it on NPM as also my first package!

It's still a WIP but working through it to make a starter and make more themes!

I started working on a brand new book. In fact, it'll be a series of small easy to read books for JS developers! And I'm going self-published, so I'm really excited about this, I'll be sharing with the community as soon as I have news!

I submitted 3 abstracts to CodeMash, the first conference I've submitted abstracts to. I've spoken at 3 user groups and once a month at my job for the last year. We'll see what happens, but submitting is a huge win in its own right.

100% code coverage! Seriously, feels so good. Spent the whole week refactoring and writing out tricky unit tests.

This week, I was able to write 4 articles and had people reposting on Twitter while appreciating me 😭. It was a big win for a week. I plan to make the articles 5 before today runs out.

I also converted my website to Gatsby, would be globalizing it soon.

Getting over 600 reactions on one of my articles, here on dev.to

I got a job! At Amazon. And this one, pretty close to my dream job. All that time practising DS/Algo problems online finally paid off.

Rewrote a crappy search service from scratch. It's now using MariaDB's full text search so that it actually has some concept of relevance and sorts the results accordingly. The client was really pleased with the more accurate results.

I had purchased 4 Echo dots which were sitting to be configured for weeks and finally hooked up them all throughout my home.

This is the best Friday gif I've seen

I got unstuck with a Ruby gem/Rake error I was getting. I am so happy to be past that.

I realized I hate the career trajectory I've been on and I want to get more deeply involved in open source and find a position where I have more freedom to be myself. And Chef is finally starting to make sense to me!

Learned ML🤖 basics with Python and created new DEV to post about Python🐍

I finally got a server for one of my projects live! (normally being a front end android developer this is huge for me)

Slow week. Paid my sleep debt. Started reading Eloquent Ruby.

Created my first and official app

Declined meaningless meetings😠
It has needed courage, but productivity has increased😆

Wrapping up second vacation of the summer. Back to reality Tuesday.

Realised that working on smaller silly or pointless projects occasionally can be a great stress relief! And that code != big projects with a reason to exist!

My win was definitely being allowed to work on open source packages during work time! It's very rewarding to be able to build something cool, get it fully tested and then share it with the world!

I noticed this week that one of my codepen has reached 195 likes 🤯 and also I completed my first Node JS and VueJS project for a client, who seems to be very happy with the end result :') Couldn't ask for more

I wrote a post about my story of becoming a developer after a Japanese language degree, becoming a firefighter, and then a nurse.

I've been a developer for about a year now, it's been a wild ride!

This week I hosted an event at Pluralsight Live called "Tech Insights" where I talked with 16 tech leaders over 3 days on a stage on the conference floor. It was my first time being at Pluralsight Live, and the first time ever doing anything like it. I planned for it well and put a lot of work into making it great, but was still a bit nervous.

It turned out the guests I had were totally awesome, they rocked it, and the feedback I've received from both the guests and audience members was overwhelmingly positive.

So I'm pretty happy with that win. Here's a Twitter Thread talking about it. It was really fun.

After a week of pushing pixels back and forth, I finally got to the point where the design for a site I'm building "clicked" and started coming together into a cohesive whole. Ready for the mountain of details I'll need to build -- the fun part.

At the house, I stripped 40 year old paint off of a 50 year old chest of drawers I'm refinishing for my kiddo. They want "black" as the color, so instead of painting, I'm going to ebonize the wood (chemistry is awesome).

I wrote my first article here and got more reactions than i expected so yeah i am just super happy about it :D

Wrote my first post here! My first time ever sharing knowledge "on the web". I wrote about Angular 8 and IE 11, something that I'm not familiar with.

I bought a house! It was stressful and kind of an awful process but I moved in this week and now I fancy myself as an interior designer. The Pinterest rabbit hole is real ....

Saying farewell to colleagues and choosing my leaving drinks date as I prepare for a new role in a new company in 2 weeks time!

Good luck!

Moved and starting a new job on the 3rd!

All my tasks flew through JIRA board like a breeze, without any single one ending up in Test Failed. QA complained I'm leaving them without work, lol.

Launched my site, a theological based blog type thing. Self hosting using an old hp elitedesk, ubuntu, nginx, cloudflare w/ ghost as the platform.

Discovered dev.to on twitter and started posting some of my blog articles on here. It's so nice to have site similar to medium aimed at our industry.

redesigned my job site front-end web app,
Teaching students how to read Excel files and manipulate it with Pandas

Finally launched my redesign and new job board at eCommTalk.com/jobs

I made a literal version of auto chess that I think is really fun!

I started a new position and the last project I worked on made the nomination list for an award.

Launching my first module in Go 💙
oops

I will host a internal Azure cloud training in my department successfully.

And it includes deployment and an overview of cloud computing.

Hopefully our developers will enhance their skills!
