After a year of conference abstinence to recover from a rough time for my business, I'm finally back on the conference circuit! I got invited to do a full 1h presentation about burnout and resilience at WordCamp Dublin in two weeks. Mental health is such an important topic, and I'm more than happy to share my experience. After that, I'll do the same talk in front of the huge DrupalCon Amsterdam crowd!

Wrote some more of my article and saw some nice dogs!!

I started my new job as a WordPress and Web Developer!

It's a career change for me and came after 18 months of unemployment (I was downsized). Oh, and I'm 50 so don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it!

I was one of the few people that made the first hacktoberfest meetup at my city, so I'm really happy about that!

I got to know about, and used Policies in Chrome, Chromium and Firefox.
It is especially for administrative purposes and lets you control lot of things like homepage, startup page, blocked websites and so on.
No offense to Firefox, but I also felt that Chrome and Chromium provide better developer experience.
Here's a list of Policies in Chromium.

I went to Techorama in the Netherlands and had a great time!

Last year I had a major panic attack and ended up curled up against a wall in tears

This year, even with a few near misses with anxiety, I had the courage to speak to the closing keynote speaker before I left

What a difference a year of therapy makes!

[Amar Prakash Pandey]

I got selected for the research project and will be working on Machine Vision there!

• Started learning Flask. So far, so good. I like it because it feels more Pythonic than Django (especially when I use CBV instead of FBV), but SQLAlchemy is a bit strange for me. I believe I love Django a lot but Flask isn't half as bad as I thought.
• I recorded two videos for my YT channel. One, that points to a live (updated frequently) post called Free learning resources for programmers, and a +20 min one that explains a Python automation program I wrote. I added a lot of visual adds, animations and more and I'm happy with the result (I still have a long way to become 'decent' at this but I like what I did).
• Monday was the day I had more visitors than ever on my blog (76) and the second one in pages viewed (106).
• I started tutoring a junior dev too at my job, by teaching him the basics of Vue. I liked it a lot and I feel like I pushed him forward hours, if not days, in his learning.
