Started a Fullstack React side project.

Namespaces config feature in Nuxt socket IO module. A few weeks ago, I attempted something and quit way too soon. The holiday break was the time to give it much deserved thought, and I think I'm pretty happy with it. Still room for improvement (w/r/t error handling, verbose debugging, and other things)

Found leetcode and made it a habbit to use it.

Released a CLI 🚀
It helps to create the package with JS/TS, build system(Webpack/Parcel) and necessary stuff 🔥
It's like create-react-app but for building packages!

I've built my first script in Golang and was able to increase the performance of a particular process by 2100% because of it! I went out of my way to find the right tool for the job and it paid off really nicely.

After 25 days of back and forth, my PR was finally merged. Next week’s win? Publish a blog showing folks how to use it.

The past couple of weeks haven't been the best. Mostly due to stress, driven from anxiety. I am working towards relocating out of Europe at the moment. I guess this is going to be my default state for the next few weeks until everything cools down. I managed to hack an old x230, get it running on arch with dwm. It's been over 5 years since I had to use a Linux box for non-server purposes. Helps me deal with the stress by keeping me distracted.

I published my first package on the npm registry, which I wrote my second post about, which ist the first one I wrote that had a comment reaction/conversation on :

My first published npm package is called runex

When my sisters and I were children, we would convene at the end of the school day and share what we had learned. These discussions were fun and exciting, especially since knowledge is so novel when you're a child. Eventually, a teacher was very unhappy that we were discussing what we learned because the teacher considered this to be "cheating". As a child, I internalized this negative opinion and, for a long time, the teacher's opinion discouraged me from discussing new things I had learned to my sisters and other people.

Skip to many years later and I am an adult now! My sister was visiting for the holidays and we discussed technical concepts that we knew about.

My win this week was quieting the judgemental internalized voice and fear I had about sharing what I learn!

My OSS project 1) surpassed 300 Stars on GitHub AND 2) Was accepted into homebrew core and is now easily installable for Mac users!

• github.com/TekWizely/run#brew

Brew support is especially awesome because:

• An official brew maintainer found my project from my launch post on HN and helped get the brew formula designed and submitted.

• The project name is run and the word "run" was one of small list of reserved words for brew, so we needed to also get a PR approved to remove the word from the reserved word list.

• This is the first package-manager integration for my project - Hopefully others will come soon.

Overall I'm stoked with how well my project has been received and hope brew support will enable more people to give it a try and offer feedback on how to make it even better.
