Stood up for technical excellence and rallied for refactoring existing code that had accumulated some cruft over the years. I was able to reduce the number of lines by 60% and killed all of the useless overloaded operators without breaking features, with only golden master tests as a data vice grip to prove nothing had went terribly wrong. I am very pleased with the outcome of the code and the clarity that came with it.

This week, I...

• At this week's Code for Boston Meetup wrote a script in Node.js to scrape table data from a website to save us hard-coding out the data by hand, in less than 10 minutes. It's not anything super-special, but it made me feel like a wizard.

• Reached and crossed the 1000 follower milestone here on dev.to, after less than a month of actively blogging here. I know this community was cool, but holy &^%$ you guys!

This week, I took several similar query methods and was able to refine it down to a single query, simply converting the return value when calling the method. Was pretty happy with my DRY practice!

This week I've learned more about NPM script and how to use it with chained command lines to prepare the folders/files tree structure of my webpack boilerplate. Things like :

...
{
    "prepare": "npm-run-all -s prepare:*",
    "prepare:clean": "rm -rf ./src",
    "prepare:src-tree": "bash -c 'mkdir -p src/{images,modules,styles/partials}'",
    "prepare:html-entry": "touch src/index.html",
    "prepare:js-entry": "touch src/index.js",
    "prepare:git": "touch ./.gitignore",
    "prepare:gitignore-rules": "(echo node_modules/ && echo dist/) >> ./.gitignore",
    "prepare:js-entry-import-scss": "echo import './styles/main.scss' >> src/index.js",
    "prepare:js-entry-log": "echo console.log('I am the endry point!'); >> src/index.js",
    "prepare:scss": "touch src/styles/main.scss",
    "prepare:scss-partials": "touch src/styles/partials/{_variables.scss,_reset.scss,_mixins.scss}",
    "prepare:scss-import-partials": "(echo @import \"partials/variables.scss\"; && echo @import \"partials/reset.scss\"; && echo @import \"partials/mixins.scss\";) >> src/styles/main.scss",
    "prepare:serve": "webpack-dev-server --open",
 },
...

This week I've read and practiced my book about CSS Grid Layout and validated the FreeCodeCamp's course on this topic.

This week I've started to code the front end of a tiny musical application...
