This week, I....went through 350+ issues in the DEV repo and updated (most) of them with appropriate labels!
That gif is very literally me. I got a label maker for Christmas last year and now pretty much everything in my life has a label.
hahaha amazing
I finished my first C++ project today. It plays Battleship with you, and this morning my automated computer player beat me in an honest match.
Take that, me.
AMAZING! π²
haha amazing!
I submitted the title and abstract for my upcoming talk. πππ
Title: A Disabled Devβs Journey
Abstract: Every company wants to be first to market, but that's only one part of a product's success. Companies often consider accessibility too time-consuming or difficult to put into place without remembering that meeting customer needs is what keeps them in the market. This talk will cover my experience advocating for accessibility as a disabled developer and why there's no excuse for treating it as an edge case.
Good luck! Which conference did you submit this talk to?
Thank you! It's actually for a local Python meetup. It'll be my first one ever so it'll be a little bit before I submit to any conferences. I need some practice first! π€©
Released a post that got quite a lot of attention (111 reactions so far). Iβm quite happy about it. Will try to post more stuff for beginners :)

I finally updated my ebook and released the second version yesterday! It made it to front page of HN (news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20645319).
The ebook is free to download through this weekend.
congrats!!
I got promoted! Now I lead software engineering at my company! π₯³
So may I ring the bell? π Congratulations! Good luck with your new role!
The development team at my company is currently a small group of two (me and my manager) and my manager has been out of town for the entire week - I didn't blow up anything or need any major assistance. I consider that a huge win!
Sure thing! What a dev you and your team are. Congrats!
First dev.to post!
Released my app Uteroo this week. Had this app idea back in 2016. I want it to help educate girls, women,and the non-binary in South Africa about menstrual health, since it's such a taboo. It is mostly aimed at those that menstruate. The app is only available in South Africa and Botswana for it's initial release, but more info can be found at uteroo.co.za βΊοΈ
Super cool!
Discovered Gatsby and Netlify, then deployed my portfolio using both technologies β¨! Still making some changes, but at least it's better than nothing π
Yas! How did you get started with those? Gatsby has been on my list to learn for a while but it on my to do list.
Hey there β¨Their documentation is AWESOME I basically followed this tutorial. Took me 2 hours to finish the tutorial and then a couple more to do the portfolio. Basically, you can documentation+portfolio in a day β¨β¨
They also show you how to deploy to Netlify π. Everytime you push to the master branch it does the build/deployment AUTOMATICALLY and bam your site is live π
Hope this helps :))
I got a ton of work done on my portfolio site's redesign and am stoked to finish it next week
I got 96.03% code coverage on my big project at work! It was the first time I used a code coverage tool.
Got my article published on blog.soshace.com/en/ and had a chance to speak to their incredibly eloquent and inspiring copywriter

I didn't even plan for something like this to happen, and it profoundly changed some preconceived notions about myself.
Also, I accepted a new job, got more benefits than I asked for (maybe because I didn't even ask for the job, let alone benefits/wage) and started resolving some personal issues.
I kicked myself in the ass to spark a much needed change.
Enhance a tool to generate 10+ JAMstack and Python apps.
The whole process took < 2h
