I guess it is a small win. Participating on the New Year writing challenge. This would be a challenge where I would like to participate in all 3.

For now, here is the first one.

That first one sounds like a real time-saver, and a tool people who needed it would enjoy using. Good job on both!

Dang, that seems like a major triumph that probably involved lots of testing and analysis, and talking with others and gauging their interest and opinions, revisions, rethinking, and more revisions. haha Not to mention writing it clearly -- which is not so easy when it comes to describing scenarios. Hope you treat yourself to something really nice. Terrific job!

Even if it's not consistent yet, I've been slowly making both coding and writing daily a habit.

Jess, what's your win?
I finally picked a programming language to learn and enrolled in a bootcamp for it. First time in a bootcamp.
Got NVim setup for as an IDE. Seemed like a lot of steps, but thankfully everything worked!

I had made a daily plan in order to have a scheduled day for learning new languages and interacting with the developer community, having mostly developed in isolation the past year.
The schedule is already falling apart, and so does my sleeping schedule. But good news, since this first week I am getting out of my comfort zone (not confining only to TypeScript and React but installing / trying out C and Rust, and trying to work with people)
