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 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 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 wrote and ran my first automated test script using Selenium/WebDriver!
Do you have repo for this?
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 returned from a ski trip where I did NOT hurt myself.
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!!
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 was able to remove 10gb of daily logs from SumoLogic ingestion.
Oh wow, that's a lot of $$$ saved. Nice one!
15gb more to go. Just need to work with devs.
that it is!
with an old butcher block on top 😄
