I got my girlfriend on GitHub! She's tackling CS50x, and I finally feel helpful.

One of us, one of us...

A former client referred me to a local business which has turned into a regular consulting gig. I found myself signing a W-9 the other day, so I guess I'm a "legitimate" freelancer now?

I leave tutorial hell !! after some time try to figure what to build with react, I create a simple dashboard using github api. github.hacasoftware.com/
There are still a lot of work to do !! but I am kind of happy with the result so far.

hey, I am a prolific dev! They don't call me dataPixy for nothing :) Just b/c I have not blogged for years doesn't mean I can't spread my wings in prose. Most of them were just my README.md reposts & some recent updates I am working on ...

On a serious note, I was quite surprised by those week 1 stats. Turns out there are more devs interested in my vscode dataViz tools content on this platform than on Twitter.

Will def. post my dev tools updates on dev.to from now on since it looks like it's where good hands-on devs congregate lately :)

Awesome. I had this in mind for a while now. Is it an open source project?

It's not right now, though I do plan to open source at least large chunks of it in the future. I want to try to get it off the ground first though :)
