[Bradley Collins]

I have 2 wins this week!

1. Went to my first ever meetup
2. Made my first (very small) contribution to open source last night and saw that my PR was merged to master this morning!

Super pumped.

[Tyler V. (he/him)]

Nothing quite like that feeling when your first PR is accepted to a project! :D

[Bradley Collins]

For sure! It was also nice to finally contribute so now maybe I'll feel more confident looking for more!

[Brian Hanna]

I made my first GraphQL API! It's small right now, and I pulled what's left of my hair out trying to break apart the types and schema, but I'm proud of it. I've been dying to try it out, and it's very interesting.

[Adrian Mejia]

Two minor wins ;)

• My offer to buy my first house got accepted!!! I can't believe yet!!
• I finally created an ePub/Mobi version of my Algorithms ebook. It was a lot of work but it looks nice in all devices now :)

[Juneau Lim]

Wow, that's not minor wins at all. Congratulation!

[Adrian Mejia]

Thanks!! :)

[Michael Tharrington]

I wrote a folksy/bluesy tune this past week! Hoping to record it soon. 🤠/😎🎸

[Vicente G. Reyes]

This week, I was hired to be a Django Developer Intern for IdeaMkr 🙌

[Jean-Michel Plourde]

I shipped my second feature in Django. From testing to shipping, it took drastically less time than my first feature.

[Desi]

I got a diagnosis I've been fighting for for years! 🙌🏻

[Cubicle Buddha]

Wow. As someone who spent 5 years waiting to be told that my pain was due to a strange sounding disorder (Thoracic Outlet Syndrome), I can totally empathize with how amazing it is to finally have a name for the enemy. There’s a real power in knowing what it is you’re facing. Congrats.

Here’s my journey story if you’re interested. I’d love to read yours.

[Desi]

TOS was one of the things I got ruled out! It feels amazing to get answers. Maybe I’ll write about it sometime!

[Jack Harner 🚀]

Turns out an Email Automation I had set up has brought an additional 300 users to our site over the last 2 months. It's just a simple "New Products from Shoolu" that uses an RSS feed to track when new products get added. Mailchimp then pulls in that feed and if there are new products since the last email, send out a new email.

Uses Python and the BigCommerce API to generate the feed.
