I'll throw in a Dev Selfie with my win. Dropped 20lbs of fat and feeling awesome.

Way to go! In a similar fashion, this is week 2 for me of bringing my lunch to work everyday. Realized I was spending wayyy too much on eating out for lunch and needed to cut that shit out.

I've probably saved between $120-$300 so far this way.

Managed to increase the performance of a very slow piece of code by a factor of 4.

Doing my masters degree in tandem with a full time job, I am relieved to see one of the most demanding courses be left behind me for good

Big week here:

  • Edie Windsor Coding Scholars were announced, and I'm one of them!
  • I finally got a project that I've been working on halfway working - been too stubborn to ask for help because I knew it was something easy and obvious, and it was
  • Thought of a name for all my mental health/wellness projects to host them under one lid and registered that domain and I'm quite pleased with the cleverness of it

Outside of tech-y stuff, I got my partner to watch Drop Dead Gorgeous (one of my favorite movies), and we both laughed so hard that my stomach still hurts.

I finally had a technical interview that I felt calm, cool, and collected all the way through. My first few I got very anxious and had a hard time thinking straight, so this is a big step forward for me!!

Outside of personal life wins, I've got a few tech ones:

  1. I grew my dev discord server by a lot of members and everyone is exciting to start on the 30DaysOfCommits challenge I'm doing!
  2. I'm using React Storybook for the first time ever. That's been on my list for ages to try out
  3. I started on setting up a development environment for my wordpress blog using Docker. I haven't worked on my blog in ages because I hate using WAMP and that whole workflow so hopefully this will work out better! :)

I started a website with a friend of mine to do design, code and resume reviews. We were both starting to do it separately, but we decided we'd be stronger together. So, I threw together a website to display the videos and take requests and we got a decent amount of requests so far! I'm way too excited about it, to be honest :D

You can check it out here and sign up for a review if you want! peerreviews.dev

Glad you enjoyed it! Hoping they get better and better, too!

Gotta love a TLD that doesn't have too many domains used up yet!
