My win this week was hearing back from one of our clients, Lucasfilm Ltd.

Star Wars

@starwars

01:40 AM - 13 Dec 2019

Their technical team let us know that they were very happy with the improved frontend performance of Shotgun, the product I work on.

These improvements are related to a tonne of work I did to our webpack configuration/frontend build a couple of months ago (they just upgraded to the version with my improvements). 🥳

Maybe they’ll send me the Millennium Falcon I couldn’t afford as a kid.

Or maybe a Wookie. I’d be happy with a Wookie. Chewie!

[Michael Tharrington]

Lol! Just spent 5 minutes looking for that Chewbacca GIF to send to some friends... didn't find it, but there are LOTS of great Wookie GIFs!

[Paula Santamaría]

Wow that's huge! Congrats, hope you get your Millennium Falcon soon 😂

[Eugenio Lentini]

[Eugenio Lentini]

[Vicente G. Reyes]

Someone contacted me for a writing gig😳 Looks like the big guy up there wants me to write🙌🏼

[Cristina Ruth]

Wow! Congratulations! 🎉

[Vicente G. Reyes]

Thanks! I wasn't expecting this but I'm happy. 😄

[Monica Macomber]

That's so cool, nice work!

[Seniru Pasan Indira]

You are lucky!

[Katie Nelson]

Great news Vicente!

[Jakob Attkinson]

Finally got to start working on that documentation I've been postponing since September...

[Monica Macomber]

Ooh man, good luck and may the force be with you.

[Jakob Attkinson]

It's not as bad as it (might) sound

[Amy]

After 5 months of searching and being ghosted by the last place that wanted to hire me, I signed a job offer for a new dev job that starts January 6th! Can’t wait to start the new year with a new gig!

[Jakob Attkinson]

Congratulations!

[Agustín]

I launched my side project sitesshowcase , and I can't believe these results:

sessions per country

[Felix]

Nice page, well done. I just added my page and I think I finally have to add a ssl certificate as my favicon does not show and I assume that this is the reason...

[Agustín]

Hi Felix, thanks for submit your site.
Yes thats the reason becaus the favicon doesnt show. I helped you, submiting the favicon manually to the site, now looks good ;) sitesshowcase.com/

Hace a nice week!

[Felix]

Hei Agustín,
thanks!

(Whereas now you removed my motivation to finally make the the page https :D)
Will do it anyway, one day, I hope...

All the best,
Felix

[Agustín]

Hahaha do it, for the future (?

Regards!

[Felix]

Agustín, I finally got my page to be https.
I had real trouble to migrate a tiny portion (a websocket) server due to two problems. One was an unintentionally generated second websocket server and the other one was a branch mismatch between front and back...

Anyways, thanks for motivating me and if you want you can point the image source back to my page...

Best,
Felix

[Agustín]

Hi Felix, congratulations on this! I will change your image soon,

Have a good week!

Preamble

Not my win and didn't happen this week, but I did notice it this week and everyone at work is feeling the win. I'm posting to celebrate with everyone involved.

The win in 3 parts:

1. I saw a tweet on Dec 9

Saket Narayan

@saketme

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a tiny app for exploring Kotlin Multiplatform and it’s finally in a state where it can accept community contributions. Say hello to Press:

github.com/saket/press

22:55 PM - 09 Dec 2019

77 401

2. Stars have increased by 400 in 4 days

(Image from star history extension)

3. It was built on a starter kit my company released

First, I suggested that Ben should contribute, then I saw that he had...But he didn't know his commit was the first one in the repo 🤔

Turns out, that commit is in there because Press was built on something Ben built 🎉

Acknowledgements

Many thanks to @benwhitley for writing the starter kit and the post to go with it, everyone @touchlab helping to make that happen, and Saket Narayan for building an awesome project!
