I survived one week of e-learning and working while kids are home full time! Hats off to my wonderful wife to did the bulk of e-learning. She has so much more patience for their emotions than anyone I know.
Congrats for you and your wife, learning is even harder than working (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ since you must be focused all the time. 🥳
I published my first ever DEV.to post:

Thank you! Never used those before! I have updated my comment :)
Just read it, your writing style is amazing 🙂. Would love to see some star wars stuff 😁?
Just Kidding LoL, I highly recommend you to read this post not just because it's different because it'll take you to an interesting journey 😉.
Thank you so much! I liked your post too :)
Congrats on your first post!

I finally shared my next career move. 💃
Joining the Frictionless Data Team
Gift Egwuenu ・ Mar 20 ・ 1 min read
Awesome news Gift!
Thanks Nick!
Frictionless Data looks fascinating.
Yeah it is :) I'll be sharing more content on here in coming weeks.
Wicked good timing to release any sort of remote team application. 👏
I thought so :)
I've actually owned the domain (and had the idea) for about a year - but I figured it was time to get going and actually release the thing 😁
It's the perfect time.
improved datorss.com with a lot of covid-19 data.
The reason for winning this week is the fact of having a safe home and being able to remain in this moment of chaos that the world is experiencing. #StayHome
Well Said
I started an online course, I published my newsletter (first issue in a few weeks), and I used ProductPlan for the first time, which gave me so much joy cos I needed a way to visualize my release plans! ^_^
Noice!
Due to the crisis my workload has dropped dramatically and for now (This will probably change :p) my wife and i have the whole work from home with kids thing pretty well under control so that leaves me with a lot of free time and boredom. So I finally got around to submitting small contributions/patches to WordPress. Time will tell if they get accepted but it has been a fun exercise.
So if you find yourself with lots of free time as well i can really recommend checking out some open source projects. Especially if you never contributed to OS before, figuring out how that whole process goes is a fun little ride.
Definitely feeling pretty good about the upgrade to webpacker 4 and Babel 7 for DEV.
Changelog: DEV upgraded to Webpacker 4/Babel 7

Now I'm halfway through the Storybook upgrade. All kinds of goodness coming into the codebase.
After 7 months of coding, finally released a product that I've wanted for so long! Frontend-as-a-Service for backend engineers like me!
Show Dev: Frontend as a Service to build custom apps
Arpit Mohan ・ Mar 20 ・ 4 min read
So excited 🕺!
I setup a Network Load Balancer and a VPC Endpoint (we use AWS) at work, to tear down a redundant stack of 100+ service instances.
sir why don't you write an article on it. it may usefull to many
Good idea! I'll keep you in the loop if I do end up with some content.
This week my entire team made the transition to working from home. It's not by choice, but the whole coronavirus situation means that if we can work from home, we have a responsibility to do so. So, from Wednesday I've been working from home until further notice.
Thursday was tough because I still hadn't sorted out a proper space and I got stressed out. Today was much better because the study was cleared out so I could work in there.
I'm sure next week would be better. Keep strong!

Installed!
Unfortunately last week, my PC suffered some nasty damage to my motherboard, so I ordered a new board, and processor (cause why not). Managed to find a pretty solid upgrade for under $300. To my surprise, it got delivered a day early! It only took 2 hrs to setup, with no hiccups! 😄
After a few months of complaining that my note-taking application was dragging my aging laptop down, I finally hacked out a quick replacement that uses the existing notes. I also converted one of my toy utilities into a website, partly as an excuse to work with maps, which might be usable in a business-y sort of way, at some point.
I started a project with a group of devs from USA, I've never worked speaking english all day alone.
Haha, this is the first time doing that and felt quite accomplishing (I'm from Colombia. Native --> Spanish).
I think I'll learn a lot from those guys.
I published my first package on npm. It's a simple plugin to allow visitors of my blog to highlight text and be prompted to tweet it.
-> npmjs.com/package/highlight-to-tweet if you are interested.
I learned how to be productive while working from home, which resulted in creating healthy habits. Both eating healthy homecooked meals at normal times and exercising every day. But, more importantly, I'm teaching myself how to slow down and enjoy quiet time. Let's see how long it lasts before I get bored. 😄
I got to work on a Golang project again! I've been very busy with PHP lately, so the few hours that I got to spend with writing beautiful Golang applications this week was very welcome! I hope to continue this again next week!
Quarantine Assistant - part 3 - all view screens and navigation (video)
Meat Boy ・ Mar 20 ・ 1 min read
I was able to install WP-CLI on windows, something I've been stuck for months.
I led a pair programming session that also was a shoulder-surfing session for several devs and our manager, over zoom. We are all remote already, not suddenly working from home.
However what made it a win is that besides my pair and I, the other dev team members and our manager aren't as versed in modern JS, nor as used to working closely with someone (in all ways besides physical) when pairing on development.
I'm sorta the JS lead, I get asked all the architectural design questions anyway, so I decided to drive and have my compatriot do the more significant navigation task.
The session went very well, we captured some great learnings and guidance, and the shoulder-surfers all said they very much enjoyed the session and learned a lot.
In a private project, finally figuring out how to deploy Traefic as Docker container, then forward DNS resolution from my client to Traefic, which would then route the request to services inside my private cloud.
I helped a group of people clear up a lot of questions and context around an important decision.
And I did it by making a cogent and convincing case for separation of identification management concerns and authorization concerns.
Also, I became woke... before 07:00 without coffee.
Released my first professional work as a dev: COVID-19 dashboard template for our client who have local data.
Guess this big carreer turn in a mere 3 month worked out well 😄
I finally launched my first project to live!
It's a helper web app for people who like games and Apple arcade service. Looking for new games in the AppStore interface is not convenient at all so I made this app to help people find their next favorite game!
I got a very good response and feedback on my Reddit launch post so I'm pretty happy of the launch.
If case you're curious:
arcade-hub.com
Made with React/Node.js/MongoDB/Apollo GraphQL and love! 💙
I finished off a three party series that took 10x as long to write as anything else I've posted.

First week of remote work for me and remote school for my kids. Having to stay at home for sporty people like us is tough but work and study and being yet together is very cool.
My last day of work at my current company is today 🎉🎉, I've had this entire week off to decompress and I start at my new job on the 23rd.
