My repository started receiving PRs and after doing code review I am learning new perspectives😃
Can relate, reviewing contributions has been pretty insightful.
I hope it's only the beginning.
Yes especially it's fun to see optimized code which you haven't thought of, and from next time, you can also write such beautiful code 😃
My project got 15+ hacktoberfest contributions and it's only October 9th!
I manage Atlassian apps for my company and we faced an issue with emails for a month which was a known bug on Atlassian without a resolution. I did some digging and figured out Atlassian's internal api and fixed the issue
The revisions I've made during the last year to Ruby documentation have now been released in Ruby 2.7.2. Includes enhancements to docs for Hash, Array, ENV. I'll be linking to the doc pages in separate posts (Hash already posted).
Today I've officially launched my first online class: Your $10k Resume
I wrote about the imposter syndrome I've been feeling cooking this up the past week or two, but I got it out there.
I decided to go for it after I did a listing here on dev.to and on twitter looking for 5 people who wanted a 1-hour resume consultation. I got 4 people to sign up in 24 hours. At the end I asked them to pay what they wanted for it, and they did!
I treated that as an indication this is worth more of my time.
Started at my new job and immediately got the tech lead role on an exciting project 🤩
I'm starting learning (and teaching 😄) clarinet 🍾.
I also merged some PRs in my projects, some of them where actually of very good quality!
I also managed to not fix things myself (well, I pushed a minor fix to make my swig fork work, but that's all), which is a win.
Overall, this was very good.
I successfully got my first ever Discord bot working. It’s not quite at the point of publishing the code yet (though I plan to do so), but it’s connecting to Discord and the commands that I’ve actually implemented so far are working correctly. Just in time too, because it’s going to be actively used tomorrow evening.
Additionally, I learned how to enter arbitrary Unicode characters in insert mode in
vimwithout depending on the OS to provide a way to enter them through an IME (for those who don’t know, it’s CtrlV in insert mode, followed byuXXXXwhereXXXXis the codepoint for the desired character in hexadecimal).I made it to the end of the week. Phew! 😅
Haha, it's been a rough one.
That said, one up side — I had broken a key on my Moog synthesizer a week or so ago but luckily had paid for a repair plan. After a bit of back and forth, I've gotten them to accept my claim! I'll be getting my synth repaired very soon. 🛠
I bought a nice camera and started learning more about photography 😄
