I spent almost 3 days on a project I really hate and I was able to reduce initial load time of a web app by nearly 50%.
The client complained about it on Friday late afternoon, and that had a negative impact on the weekend as that's a project I never really wanted to work on. Nevertheless on Monday I decided to immediately work on it and I was fully committed to give them the best I could.
I don't like dealing with that customer, but I'm not payed to work only on stuff I love.
They're satisfied now, and that's great.
The Friday afternoon email is something I never do, if a problem is not really urgent I don't like bothering people of my team, or even outside the company, and I wait Monday morning. I know they won't work at it during the weekend, so I prefer letting them finish the week with a sense of accomplishment, not thinking about the problem they're going to work on the next week
Nice, Gaurav :)
This week I decided to learn more about authentication method. Since I deal with apis, I see the word JWT everywhere but I didn’t know what it is. After reading few posts about it I can now use that authentication method in my future api.
I was away from active coding for a while to work on advocacy and help developers in my region get resources. Trying to get back to coding now and for a while I couldn't focus, struggled with remembering concepts I used to be familiar with. And even had problems applying to jobs I am probably qualified for because I lacked the confidence.
This week however, I have made significant progress, I now enjoy it immensely, could focus for even longer periods of time and I'm feeling the groove again. My confidence is boosted and I've started going for job openings I'd enjoy doing - Whether I'm qualified or not, the thrill of a learning opportunity now excites me.
Deleting 1200 lines of code from our Selenium framework and adding more external API tests with rest assured.
Attended my first meeting as an official moderator for OpenSource.com :)

I had an article about Svelte published and it was read by its creator Rich Harris. Felt good!
Went to the first interview in my life. It was for a DevOps intern position. I liked the team, but I'm still overwhelmed =_= Next week they're supposed to answer...
Good Luck!
I got fucked over, royally, and kept my cool and the situation moving forward towards the next best solution.
To quote my boss "I didn't know how you would react, I thought you would be pissed and well within your rights to be"
I joined Dev.to after many years of contemplation!
Welcome!
Start do deal with real unit testing :)
Did my first conference talk at Codegarden this week! 😊
I had my first in-person dev interview this week. I normally bomb my first tests/interviews/etc due to nerves, but I didn't do that this time!!! That was a huge win for me.
Another little win for me this week was writing this blog post. It has gotten quite a bit of participation in the discussion, my first post to do so. :)
I started learning kotlin and changing little pieces of my work project from java to kotlin.
A post I made 2 months ago just passed 2048 views! dev.to/therealdarkmage/finding-bug.... If only I could translate that into business and profit :D
