This week, I fully set up my home office!
Not a gif but...
I want that sunlight . <3
Yeah i miss that sunlight at my home office too!
Woah! That desk is AWESOME!!
This week, I.... Made first commit to github after 6 years in industry!
Nice! First times for certain events come at all different paces and different orders in our industry.
I'm from Semiconductors Industry, so working for chips where everyone speaks Electricity while you (I am) have a software specialization, yes it's pretty hard to make other commit(ment)s :)) ^^
Woohoo!!
This week we went open with our Skylight performance data!
DEV Community Is Open-Sourcing Its Performance Metrics via Skylight

This is a really cool initiative. Are you planning to share your traffic metrics the same way?
This/Last week, I landed a job as an SRE at elastic.co! WHOO!
Bonus win: Cleaned up an old desktop and now I have a home server to run... something :P
Congrats!
WOOHOO Elastic!!!! They just published a blog of mine on their User's blog space about how we have scaled Elasticsearch at Kenna.
ENJOY your new gig!
whoa, congratulations!! That's a big win!!
This week, I made my very first blog post ever (and here on DEV)! And it got more attention than I expected.
Thanks for the contribution 🙌
you got a link to it handy?
Sure! Here you go:
My first DEV PR and post!

This week, I did fix a tricky bug... which the senior architect was not able to fix.
Nice!
This week, I started to work on a videogame with my little sister who's a 3D modeler 😁
Cool!!
This week, I went to the gym 3 times after several years of failing to find a suitable way to fit it into my schedule. Late evening is the best time and the thought had never occurred to me until now.
Heck yeah! I've been doing mornings a lot more but prefer evenings because I'm not rushed.
Exactly! Also, there is usually significantly fewer people there. And, since I live close by, I can go straight in my gym clothes then back, take a shower home and wash the sweaty uniform right away.
Ah that's so nice! I like to think I'd go to the gym more often if it was close by. My gym is a 40 min subway commute involving a very long walk in the winter or two transfers 😒
I'd never go! 😅
This week, I wrote and ran my first automated test script using Selenium/WebDriver!
Do you have repo for this?
This week, I worked on the animations and overall design of DevLids.com. Mainly added a new font, Plex Mono, and tweaked the lid-motions.
That's really cool!
Finally getting my inputs recognized in our project! 🎉
This week, I.... actually put a small project online instead of letting it wither and gather dust in a folder. Genus Absurdus produces fake Latin names with some Latin prefixes and suffixes scraped from a few sources. It's stupid but was fun to make.
Awesome, congrats!
This week, I had my last day at work after 8 years working in data analysis in a hospital. This week is the start of my career shift into software development (with a focus in freelancing/contract work). Next step: a detailed plan.
Whoo!! Good luck!!
This week, I returned from a ski trip where I did NOT hurt myself.
that it is!
with an old butcher block on top 😄
