First week at DEV 🎉🚀
Huge thanks to everyone on the DEV team that I've worked with so far for making it a great experience!
Congrats Mr Jacob
I am agree with Jacob. Joincing to this community was very plesant and encouraged event of my week.
I got to speak at AWS Toronto Summit so it was my first official AWS speaking event.
I wrote a whole story up how I got in as well as here is the tech talk itself.

Nice! What was the PR?
It was this big 'ol thing.
components/CaseTable.jswhich manages the dominant view (using React useContext)components/bodyview.jscontexts/casecontroller.jsresponsible for global app state (!!) including pre-initialized context providerCssBaseline) per best practicesstaticfor nowrfj_expungementis a tool being developed at Code For DC to help pro-bono (volunteer) lawyers. Rising for Justice holds clinics in Washington, DC where they help people navigate the surprisingly Byzantine process to clear their criminal records. If you have a criminal record (at least in the US) it can make it harder to get housing, a job, services, and more.The PR is meant to clean up the repo following the National Day of Civic Hacking, where we had a bunch of great contributors.

Great achievements! What's your project about?
Its a open source voice assistant for android.
Started posting on DEV and quite impressed with the whole platform.
I hadn't realized how much progress it has made since the "Medium for developers" days. There are so many little pieces of polish that end up encouraging discussion and interaction rather than the Medium-style wall of text.
The thing it actually reminds me of most is forums that I used back in high school. I have really fond memories of those and something has been lost between the distraction of Facebook, the real-time barrage of Slack, and the dopamine of Twitter.
Still getting used to the editor. I think I actually like it more than the Quora/Medium/WordPress editors but there are some little technical snafus I have had and still figuring out my workflow.
Hey about the editor part, for writing posts I’m using bear for macOS and iOS. I can really recommend it! Pro version is not so expensive ;)
I finally broke 200lbs. Numbers shouldn’t mean anything in terms of weight loss as it’s really about reducing your fat, but it was a goal I had set anyways. I did not measure my fat reduction during this period, but I can tell just by looking in the mirror and how my clothes fit, I’ve definitely lost a few slabs of bacon.
I’ve generally been active, but a few bad injuries including a calf tear last fall lead to the weight gain. It was a bit rough at the beginning as I was coming off an injury that took a while to heal, but busting my butt at the gym, sleeping more and eating less (not starving) got me here. No I am not a doctor, but this is what worked for me. 💪💥
All that to say, I’m starting to look more like this university pic minus the scary shaved head LOL.
This week I finished working on jamstack.systems.
JAMstack.systems is the presentation about fast, secure and dynamic sites built with JavaScript, APIs, and prerendered Markup, served without web servers.

After lot's of hemming & hawing, I finally launched a newsletter in.snippets() where I share notes for articles that I read on a daily basis. :D

I'm still maintaining/improving little by little, but I got a more motivation for new visitors and beyond 2020!! 🚀🔥

I did my first online video talk.
My video didn't work (only desktop sharing) and I got a classical Linux permission problem (which I solved in the end) but overall I think it worked out great. 🙃
I did my first online talk this week too! Congrats!
Not exactly my achievement I guess, but... thanks to this amazing community, I got contributions to my Open Source project (worked the last few years alone on the project). So for me, it's still unbelievable :-)
