I got a remote job as a community moderator, and I have an interview at the company of my dreams next week!

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

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! :)

My project got 10 stars on GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/filips123/ZeroTemplate.git my-new-site

And I created (my first) Dev.to post about it:

Well, writing my first weekly retro post is definitely a win! 😀

I had a three-day-long Angular & TypeScript-Workshop at work.

I understand better the appeal of having your Framework define lots of things like Routing and Ajax for you. I can see how its restrictive nature is a good fit for larger teams with diverse seniorities. Also the first-class IDE-support you get with TS is something I envied Java-Devs for. I guess that's why it is so huge in the enterprisey sector.

Half of the attendees were Java/Backend-Developers. They were amazed and surprised about how close all of that is to working with things like Spring (I have no idea if that is actually true).

For my personal taste it's still too object-oriented and verbose. Plus I'm a fan of server-rendering most things. But, you know, as Front-End-Dev in 2019 it can't hurt to know it. Plus TS and RxJS are impressive and I'll definitely use them in near future.

Made another step to learning good practices and improving my company's product code quality by implementing my first Visitor Pattern in an actual (aka not an example code) app!

I hope I'll achieve to convince everyone in the team of its usefulness regarding our use case...

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

Mine is getting my first job as a front-end developer only a month after graduation.

I lead a team who successfully migrated an e-commerce app from

Spree 2.3 to Spree 3.7(9 versions), Rails 4.1 to 5.2(4 versions) and Ruby 2.2 to 2.6(4 versions).

It was very challenging as many versions changed in between, used many abandoned gems and some of the core functionality was complete rewrite and have no/little documentation.

There are some regressions but comprehensive test suite helped us to release confidently.

I've refactored a bunch of components that we had in one of our Angular application and moved them into a library so we can use them across the rest of Angular projects in the company.😄

It was pretty much a challenge because the components code before doing the refactor was tightly coupled to the rest of the project.

Am travelling the entire week so no real tech wins there. First long vacation in years so I guess that's a win by itself :)

Attaching some pictures 😃

I finally installed Ubuntu on my notebook, installed core programs to start working again and i'm looking forward to start programming using my new setup!

(Maybe i should have installed Debian instead of Ubuntu, but i wasn't sure how much would the configuration take, so maybe later)

also i want to make a shoutout to Sasidharan's post, that made me finally do this step!

My beautiful Linux development environment

Completed successfully the last class of my master's degree in Pervasive and Mobile Computing..
I have also participated at a dance show with two choreographies (ATS and Tribal Fusion).
I had to dance in the show one day before the exams!!!
Well both of these tasks went great!
P.S. I work full time. (But took a few days off in order to study:)
Here's a detail of my dance:

This was one of those weeks where getting through the week was all that I could accomplish...

1. First time to use unit testing on my frontend project(still need a lot to learn and do).
2. And commit to do workout 4 times in a week.

Biggest win yesterday after a lot of head banging- Figuring out in Capybara that
click_button 'Favorite'

does something different than
find('button[title="Favorite"]').trigger('click')

Migrated my blog from Gatsby to Hugo even before writing the first post!

Finally shipped my first Django feature for a project in my internship. 100% test coverage!

I'm just out of college, but got an offer as engineering lead with a communications provider based on my 9 years of freelance experience

GETTING MY FIRST EVER FUTURE TO PRODUCTION IN MY NEW PROJECT

Learned python :)

Refactored some rather ugly Python procedural code into a manageable library.

Got Ansible working locally & wrote the first half of a nice set of deploy tasks.

Finally converted some internal RPMs from CentOS/RHEL6 do CentOS/RHEL7 :))
