After searching for a job for 444 days, I finally accepted an offer and will be working as a remote software engineer at FireHydrant.io.

Zach • Jun 16 '20

Congrats! I know it must have been tough. 444 days is crazy. Looking at some of your articles now.

Gracie Gregory (she/her) • Jun 12 '20

Yaaaaayyyyy!

Anthony M. • Jun 13 '20

Congrats Victoria! Must feel nice. :) Were you looking specifically for remote positions?

Tori Crawford • Jun 15 '20

I was, but not exclusively. My fiancé and I plan on moving within the next year and I didn’t want to have to search for another job a few months from now haha. Remote just made more sense for my current situation.

My 'win' would be getting selected for a Senior level position! However, due to time differences, I declined the offer. But yes, I cleared 4/5 rounds :)

My win this week was 2️⃣ happy clients. I improved the reach of a brand through an advert by 300% +. And delivered an MLP (minimum loveable product).

But it was in their tone that I could hear the satisfaction 🤸.

I got a new ~~url~~ domain kedro.dev. Its mostly for some side projects that I have subdomained on it, but there is now at least a landing page for the root url.

I started learning MDX, and am going to try to build it with MDX since it is greenfield.

My win is that I started building INTRUDER ALERT SYSTEM using Open CV and Raspberry pi.....
Wish me good luck !! :)

I was thinking of something like this, please keep us updated on how it goes for you.

Thank you

Keep it up mate, and good luck.

Never touch OpenCV, yet have to start looking into it.

We're getting close to finishing the Preact upgrade for DEV. The Preact upgrade itself was simple, but the testing tools we use are not compatible with Preact 10.x. We've moved to preact-testing-library, the cousin of react-testing-library which is the recommended testing tool for React alongside jest.

We're almost finished migrating all the tests. So close! Hopefully early next week we'll get this merged and then we can start using new React features in Preact like fragments, hooks, context etc.
