I got a new job! π I gave notice at my current job and will be moving to Amsterdam in a couple of months π€ to start my new role as a Senior Frontend Engineer π
Congrats hope this lockdown ends soon, I had some opportunity to move to Belgium but stuck for now.
Thank you and congrats to you too! Yeah Iβm hoping I can get over in the summer if things calm down! I hope you can get to Belgium soon too!
Wow! That's awesome! Congratulations on the new role and the move. I would love to live in the Netherlands.

Congratulations Sarah. Keep us posted on everything π
I published and sold 17 copies of my first-ever book, "Using Gatsby and Netlify CMS"! I didn't know what to expect as I have never written a book before, but it was a lot of fun!

Not me per se but shout out to @molly_struve , @atsmith813 and all the contributors who helped us migrate off a proprietary search platform to an open source one. We finally finished the project this week. π

Released my post on what I do about perfectionism as a content creator, which was my biggest obstacle blogging (it used to take me sometimes a month to finish a post)!
dev.to/andyhaskell/perfectionism-a...
Somebody once told me, "Perfection can be the enemy of the good." They told me that in light of the fact that I had virtually nothing to show for all my high school art classes simply because I smashed up anything that wasn't perfect.
I'm reading a book right now called the gift of imperfection --- there is an entire chapter on how perfectionism is not a good thing in ANY way. You are lucky someone shared that insight with you and that you heard it. :)
Omg, this is awesome. I actually have a similar post about how perfectionism harms your relationships and mental health (based on my experience). My other blog is down right now, though, so I cannot share it π
Amen!
I had 200 concurrent visitors on my blog!
And got lots of lovely comments from all over the internet from inspired learners π₯°

I was feeling myself burn out and get stressed out because of pandemic-related loneliness and stress, and I gave myself permission to not do anything. This goes against my typical coping mechanisms which is to do more and to always feel like I should be doing "something" with my time. There's a phenomenon that describes this called "allostatic load":

Lost my job first week of April. Big win this week was to get and sign an offer on a new position starting Monday.
Congratulations!
Congratulations π
Hope everyone had a good week! This week, I added search functionality to my final React Redux / Rails project for Flatiron School. My assessment is Monday and this add will hopefully make it even more likely that I will pass. :)
Posted to dev.to for the first time since last year! This video is about column families in CockroachDB. It's an interesting database concept that I think deserves more love and appreciation.

This week I played a bit with noise generation to create something like this for my particles library
I implemented a quad tree instead of the spatial hashing but I still don't know which algorithm has the best performance.
I fixed an annoying bug with canvas and retina/HiDPI screen, it wasnβt though but any bug fixed is a good thing!
I created other cool feature for particles, nothing difficult but itβs my first time doing these animations
I made a submission to talk to my first big tech conference! What was the best in it: I got support and mentoring from others about selecting and framing the topic. Talk is about how we automate testing and utilize data in making decisions related to the embedded device acceptance testing at my new work. It is always interesting to hear how testing is organized, so I hope my talk makes it to the conference π
I finished and delivered my application for the Twilio + Dev Hackathon!
I lost hope times than I can tell you, but I did it !!!
Well doneπ€Έ
Thank you!!!
I think I had a good week π
