This week, I... started doing office hours with the tech community and it was a great way to meet people and learn from them! Also, a great way to break up the day working remote!

It's nice to be let out of the cage every once and a while, huh?

That's awesome!

I do office hours for my company's tech reps, too. It's a lot of fun. We should compare notes!

This week, I made my first custom React hook. 🎣 Lots of fun and not that difficult.

Cool stuff Tom. You could even make a custom hook to wrap up all that logic. I made a simple demo here if you're interested. Sidenote, this is the first time I create a hook. 😉

This week, I... learned more about AWS CloudFormation that makes me like it less and less. But such is life sometimes.

I feel ya. I occasionally get a “can’t roll back cloudformation stack” error with Serverless that leaves me feeling very powerless.

Ran into that a couple times as well. I feel like CF could be great; but AWS has more important things to work on. :(

This week, I... implemented a toolbar using MotionLayout in Android! There's not a whole lot of documentation on it, so it was a good challenge to have to dig through and understand what I was supposed to do an why.

This week, I...combined a quote API with an Anime Image API. The result is an Anime Quote Maker! It's easy for anyone to play around with, using random settings or aiming for something specific. codepen.io/max1128/full/VNPxOJ

Instead of a GIF, here's an image from the project in question. Took about three minutes of searching and adjusting to get it :D

This week, I was dealing with a major disruption issue on a client network caused by a new malware. It took a lot of diagnostics and effort to get rid of it. I posted about it this morning if you're interested.

This week, I... did a Conway's Game of Life in Elm without any testing. Once the compiler told me that everything was good, everything was.

Cool!!! Im jealous. I’m hoping I can start doing a similar thing with React + TypeScript. I admire elm a lot but I think my coworkers would die if they had to go full FP. TypeScript lets me write immutable, one-way-bound code but I can still make it look “imperative-like.” (But i kinda wish I was doing Elm). Have you tried using the Readonly types of TypeScript?

No I did not, I used TypeScript on my own and loved it but I was having weird problem. I think my comprehension of TS is not perfect. I’m not doing Elm at job either, only for personal projets but I wish we do. I’m currently moving my team from Ruby to Elixir which is already, some coworkers does not see the real benefits. With TypeScript or Elm we would have the same problem, when I talked about TypeScript, they told me « All it gives is type? What is the gain? »

I tried to explain but still.. Anyway, I will be working on a transition to TypeScript soon!

Yea you’re right. It’s hard to explain the benefits like immutability.

This week, I wrote five functions that directly manipulated memory in a data structure we've been working on. I had NO compiler errors, NO memory errors (Valgrind pure), and the exhaustive tests for all five functions passed without a hitch...on the first shot!
