This week, I built out a workflow to patch a bunch of servers in parallel. Needs some brains still, but it's already going to save a couple days a month for whichever engineer has to roll out patches to our relatively large fleet.

I'm awesome gift

This week, I....managed to exercise every day! And got some awesome feedback from @peter :

You are almost always our “enough is enough, let’s just do this now” forcing function. In a great way.

Awesome! Don't you love how exercise clears the mind and holistically benefits? I think I am now addicted to walks a couple times a day.

This week, I manage not to overwhelm myself and stretch myself too thin by saying 'no' at work.

This week, I wrote an entire library with best practices and CI/CD in spite of high pressure from management and with a tight approaching deadline. Feels good at the end of the day to have done the right thing...

This week, I....managed to do 3 Days Water Fasting and lost about 2.5KG weight.

For those who keep working day at night by sitting on computer like me and cant go to gym should do Water fasting to lost weight.

First two days were tough, like very tough. Alot of headache, low energy.
Couldn't sleep the second night.

Third day was great, felt fresh like usual days and was ready to make it 5 days.

That's great progress! but also a bit risky, that's a drastic weight loss.
When we talk about weight loss we're supposed to lose the extra pounds lying around in form of fat. Often when water fasting we lose water, carbs and muscle mass. Im putting extra emphasis on muscle mass as it's very important. Hope you're taking these things in consideration :)

Yes, you are right. We need to keep electrolytes and other things inside body while doing water fasting. I tried to use sea salt and other methods to keep them inside.
Real magic happens when body fully transformed into ketosis mode.

This week, I replaced promise...then...catch with async/await in an app and took the time to throw relevant errors. It has made the code much easier to read. Next step is to add try/catch blocks to refine error handling.

I also ran 3 days this week (wish it would get warm! Hurry up Spring!)

This week, I figured out how to mass auto remove unused imports in an angular (or any typescript project). It saved me at least 8 hours worth of work!!!

Worked on my full stack clojure web framework (github.com/coast-framework/coast) again, feels good to pick it back up after a solid month off

I've been watching coast from afar for a little while. Definitely fills an important niche in the Clojure community!

I remember the first time I learned about flexbox and it blew my mind. Same when I first found out about grid!
