Finally have a new page for my company, done by Maker friend Alina...

On side project working on kunvenu.com, finished connecting social media profiles.
My first post in a long time (darn writer's block) got featured on DEV's Rust feed on Twitter and pleasantly surprised me with this in my notifs <3
I've had two this week.
Finally, after literally years, I've launched my own blog.
I've learned about this website and joined this community.
Well as of September 6, I finished a project as part of the legacy application retirement project I am on at my banking client. It was expected to be a 3 day fix but ended up being two weeks due to tricky usage of xsl inside of jsp templates (I did say legacy!). It's in QA and about to hit production end of month.
Started a new analysis for a new project which will solve a logout issue in the legacy application, I am one of those rare folks who actually enjoys looking through old Rube Goldbergian code bases to figure out what madness led the teams who build these evolutionary monstrosities to make some of the choices they did.Prior to the project above I worked on an analysis that functionally decomposed a major tool in the legacy application and with that knowledge rebuild the tool using current generation Spring Boot and Angular front end. Super fun.
Started a 7-months-long Python Bootcamp. I'm after 2 intensive days and it feels good so far. Learning with real human beings is a completely new level in comparison to learning alone from online tutorials. And I don't feel like a complete idiot, which is also a plus 😉
Super inspired after reading the comments on this post:)
I have setup my blog(finally) after long time. I have been trying to get it up from past one year (please don't judge) and published it.

I managed to not start implementing pattern matching in my language as I'm not fully decided on everything yet 😄
Instead I did some fuzzing session with AFL which found around 20 bugs (all fixed as of now), and lead me to rethink some stuff on variable declarations, which was great.
Last session was 10 hours, 12 millions execs and caught 8 bugs, I'm hoping to do even better now.
I managed to develop an automation tool for my company using chromedp in Go.
It isn't really a part of my job, but I liked the idea, so I took it up.
chromedp was pretty vague, with not so beginner-friendly documentation.
But my interest for working with chromedp increased pretty soon - as soon as I found out that headless chrome works like a charm.
chromedp is for automation using Headless Chrome in Go.
Do checkout their GitHub page and see if it interests you.
Wrote 3 posts and recorded/edited 2 videos for my blog.
But the bigger win of this week was joining Dev.to, of course 😎
