This week, I completed my first school document at the internship.
This week, I.... managed to get a massive project to UAT a week a head of schedule!
that it is!
with an old butcher block on top 😄
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 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!
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/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 went to a club for the first time with my friends (since coming out but also ever) and I had so much fun!!
yesss!!
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 and another teammate created a handbook for new team members. It is not intended to substitute having someone act as a shepard for new members. But, it is intended to help structure who we are, how we work together, and how to get stuff done.
That's definitely a resource that new team members appreciate -- but is overlooked at so many companies!
