I got a job offer I was waiting for almost a month. And now I have to pack my stuff, sell my car, apartment, things, throw old junk away and then travel ~6.5k kilometres away from my place. A whole new life in less than 2 weeks from now! Yeehaw!

[Juneau Lim]

It's a huuuuuuge win. Congrats!!! You will figure it out. no worries. Hope all the best!

We added a protocol in standup-style team meetings that everyone says "thank u, next" when they are done talking, to cut down on awkward silences and keep things moving.

Big success so far.

That's what happens when Ariana Grande is your scrum master lol

[Gayan Hewa]

Sweet, we have a scrum masterish person who comes up with random orders to do the stand up, by age, by name, by the time you started work, and a few really crazy criterion too.

[Valentin Baca]

Our team just goes in a circle for those in person. For those that dial-in, we just use alphabetical order by last name. This is the order that people show up in Chime, so it's just going "down the list" for them.

[Martin Huter]

I will suggest this in my team. Really like it.

[Ana Liza Pandac]

This week, I finally published my first open source npm package 🔥
github.com/analizapandac/share-tex...

It's a small JS utility library for sharing text content via WhatsApp or via the native sharing widget of your device.

[Ben Halpern]

Nice!

[Cristiana Man]

Impressive :)

[Jess Lee]

This week, I...finally fixed a bug that I'd been putting off for a few weeks!

(i don't know what these scary puppets are but I love them)

[Juneau Lim]

You need a better one!

[Akashdeep Singh]

I completed my MSc 🎉🎊. Last week, I submitted my dissertation, the code of which I will make open-source once it's graded. That was a hectic last year, but Iearned a lot and look forward to getting back in the product development game.

[Juneau Lim]

So now only your paper and project has been shipped, but also you are onboard to the job market now.
Congratulation, and Good luck with the big game!🌟

I was on a podcast -- as a guest instead of an interviewer 🤠

It was the Remote Ruby podcast with Jason Charnes and Chris Oliver!

[Juneau Lim]

Wow, congrats! may I get an autograph from you, before you got more fame?
(and selling it on eBay...🤔)

[R Post]

Wrote my first blog post!

[Ben Halpern]

[Ben Halpern]

Big week!

[Muhammad]

I guess some credit goes to you too... :)

[Liyas Thomas]

I created Postwoman 👽 - An online, open source API request builder which helps you create your requests faster, saving you precious time on your development.

I wrote about it on dev.to here and getting lot of support from my fellow devs. Best week ever!!

I just delivered the last of my 3 back-to-back talks this Wednesday ... which were my first "serious" talks. Nothing more on deck -- phew!

I'm a year into conference/webinar speaking with no serious background in rhetoric, acting, or teaching (although, luckily, also without too much stage fright).

It was a lot of work. Like, part-time job levels of work.

But I gave 3 talks (1 conference and 2 "guest" webinars on YouTube series) that I'm proud of.

• In 5 years, perhaps I'll look back on them and see how far I've come.
• But I'm certain that I won't look back on them and cringe. They're solid enough to be in public for the rest of my career. I did it.

I hope to write a retrospective post with proper thank-yous to people who got me here.

Now off to a well-earned break of just doing my "real job!"

P.S. I presented about:

• XML and JSON
• An obscure new feature of Salesforce
• Python as an alternative to Excel for editing spreadsheets
