This week, I...ticked off most objects on the todo list for the NPO I'm working with. A buggy interconnected dropdown and deployment, are the last things on the list then it's fine tuning time with the client!

I was able to make psycopg2 work with my python back-end & postgresql! Although, I added and commented out so many things in my .bash_profile due to needing to use it with pyenv and pyenv virtualenv...

Not quite sure how...but it works! 🐍

Congrats! I know what it's like, the real struggle is just getting over the hill of starting. Hope to see more as I also need to take a look into TypeScript.

Thank you 🙂.

I visited Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica... and found a house to rent that we're moving into in November! So happy DEV is supportive of remote working!! 😀

Your post Run MySQL on Docker and use in your Java App passed 2048 views!

[Fernando Doglio]

I wrote and published jWhisper (npmjs.com/package/jwhisper) for an article I was writing. It's a small RPC library, but it was a fun build and it was super fun to learn about JSON-WSP. So I'll take that one as a win for the week! :)

I got the 4 week streak badge 😄

This'll sound weird but... I finally mastered the bass part I had to master for music class that had been occupying my mind and worrying me for a while, and it's a really good feeling. Also my notes/summary was complemented by an IRL person, which is nice since I take them really seriously (I like taking really good notes for me and other people so I can share them and help others with them)

[Dennis]

This is awesome! What instruments do you play? I play the piano =)

[Lucas H.]

I play guitar and bass (Now!), haha. I also want to learn to play piano on a basic level to be able to make melodies on there, though. That's still in the pipeline..

This week was 🦄🌈🌻 for me

• Got a call from HR of a really good company and they shortlisted my cv for next round
• Finally started learning RegEx and covered pretty much everything (now need to practice it)
• My new article How I brought down my project's dependency tree from 36 packages to 4 packages reached 100+ reactions!

[Lucas H.]

Congrats!!!

thank you :)

[Mauro Garcia]

Congrats! I just read your article and it's really good! Your idea about asking "Do I really need this library?" before npm install really made me recall this article my girlfriend wrote last week:

Hi I just read her article and loved it. I love how she explained how removing unnecessary code is important. Definitely deserves a lot of 🦄

[Sundeep]

Congrats on the article and getting the HR call!

If you don't mind me asking, Regex for which tool/language and the resource you are using?

[Saurabh Daware 🌻]

Thank youu! and I am using regex in javascript and currently using it to build a npm package called Pluck. It is not complete yet but after completing users will be able to plk.byQuery('div.coolClass',htmlString) to extract the string from that particular selector. I think it will be useful for extracting the data from web scrapped html string

I finally completed a project and handed it to the clients
