My win this week was publishing my first tech article!

I have 6+ years of experience but haven't been too involved in tech communities, finally ready to change that. Thanks for the question 👍

Love this! Seems like you could make some really cool ambient electro music for folks to work to... I'd really like to hear some drums riff on this.

My win this week was setting aside time to do yoga and meditate and actually following through!

Good for you, Jennifer! There will always be more work to do, your to-do list never ends. But only you can make it a priority to take care of yourself.

I know most people won't see this as a win but I put my notice in for my job and told my friend I'd move halfway across the country (just waiting for the apartment application to go through). I don't have anything lined up after yet but I've wanted to move for three years now.

I feel like a weight has been lifted. Equal parts terrified and excited. (Yes I have been interviewing in said city.)

I updated my site's performance, have it rendering with JavaScript disabled, and it works offline. There is still some work to be done but is rewarding to see good results. 😄

Have you started it yet? Are you going to do that thing where you start for two days then everyone leaves for Christmas and forgets everything they did?

That's fun :)

I released my Christmas fingerstyle guitar album! Guitar is my non-coding passion in a huge way, so it was an AMAZING feeling to release it!

In coding-related news, I finished a cool navigation system for my internship that toggles between mobile tabs and desktop url navigation... it was pretty complex, and I had a blast doing it!🔥

I fixed some concurrency related bug in my language 😄

I took me almost all the week and might not be perfect yet, but it feels a a win.

I also Implemented UsrUGen class, in which the user can define the tick
function of the generator (the sound it makes).
All that after a big fuzzing session.

Previously, I switched from mkdocs to mdbook, for my docs, and yet I didn't updated any content, seems a good choice too. 🍾
