This week, I published my new book about Algorithms in JavaScript!
This week, I...'hunted' the DEV Android app on Product Hunt! Big shoutout to @maestromac who lead the project. Definitely one of the more special weeks we've had -- lots of wins as a team with lots of merged PRs 😉
Personally, I tried out a new kickboxing gym where they didn't just have you hit a bag, but each other! I loved it.
Kicking each other is lots of fun! I used to do that.
This week, I finally figured out how to solve a semi-technical problem that I've been battling off-and-on for over a month. It required some lateral thinking, tons of trial/error, and many frustrating dead ends before finally arriving at an elegant solution that will be scalable and maintainable going forward.
My reaction upon realizing it was all going to work:
Can you give a gist on which problem you were brainstorming on ?
This week, someone that I'm mentoring completed a big Python project! I'm in awe of their passion and work ethic. They inspire me 😊.
I learned basic 3D design in SketchUp, and started designing a coffee table I'm going to start building this weekend!
So cool!
Don't forget the progress pictures!
That top panel will be a bit of a challenge in precision cuts.
Here's the top, all cut, but unfinished:
By the magic of unintentional mathematics, the angles on the top ended up being exactly 22.5 degrees, which is easily marked out on my chop saw and so everything fit together quite nicely. I've got the rest of the wood cut too, but by that it was too dark for the pics to turn out.
I plan on writing up an article here in a couple weeks when it's finished about what programmers can learn from woodworking (with many more progress pics), so stay tuned for that!
This week, I...
Guacamole... that's like a year's worth of win!
This week, I finally gathered enough energy to publish my first independent tech blog post about my experience of going to React Amsterdam on my own! 🎉
This week, my girlfriend and I finished moving into our new apartment! We're super stoked about it. A lot more space for us and the cats, plus a washer and dryer in unit 🙌🙌 (fuck the laundromat). It's great!
sweeeet!!
Accepted a job offer earlier this week. I'm officially an employee for the first time in my life. Yay!
Congrats!
Muchas gracias!
My team got through all of the incremental improvements that I proposed to unify a legacy cruise pricing system. It will be nice not having to work with a different copy-pasted-modified set of spaghetti code for each cruise line in the future.
This week, I
Poor Internet connection, no gif for you today. :)
This week, I...
Moved my legacy project from PHP 5.6 to PHP 7.1. Now I can finally use scalar type hints and upgrade some of the packages!
I transitioned a legacy system from synchronous polling to a new implementation of asynchronous message brokers. This sped up the processing of items from 4x to 100x depending on the environment, while learning the ins-and-outs of message broker design and implementation.
This week, I managed to get IBM Speech-to-Text working for a group project. There is still a lot left to work out, though 😅
This week, I...
Reanimated code that I haven't touched in like 4 months. A lot of mental energy went into this because I was scared that it won't run, or it will return some weird results.
I am working on scientific paper and thesis, so stress is moderate.
At the end code was OK, I fixed minor bugs, and start making progress again.
