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!

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!

π wooo! That has to be an awesome feeling to sell something that you created like that!
Nice!
That's really cool! Congrats!
Found time:
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
Algolia is OUT! Elasticsearch is IN!

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)!

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
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. :)
Amen!

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
Just mind-blowing. Excellent.
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.

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":
