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

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.

Millenium Falcon

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

Just FYI, you can embed the post using a liquid tag like this

Finally found the difference between observer pattern and pub-sub pattern. I was confused because both had the same code form in JavaScript.

This past week was my first on-site for the company.

We had been experiencing issues with our client's SSH and they're IT wouldn't install it. So I was able to find a workaround that allowed us to use it on the laptops which propelled the project.

I also fixed an issue with one of our tests (our largest test) on the fly, and my fix made the test perform better than it ever had prior.

I submitted the (almost) final draft for my JavaScript course on Educative. I'm really looking forward to see it live before the end of 2019
