My win was to learn how to securely deploy a telegram bot using heroku docker and python and make a PR about it in a subject I used to love back in University about cloud computing. It's been a lot of fun!

Oui, mais les informations que j'ai écrites sont en espagnol parce que sont pour avoir aidé un sujet à l'université au Granada. La majeure partie est basée sur ce lien (angalis): medium.com/python4you/creating-tel...

Mais mon code est ici aussi: github.com/JJ/IV/tree/master/ejemp...

Pardon mon françoise aussi, je ne parle tres bien.

I passed my Rails & Javascript review a few hours ago! I did not realize there would be a quiz, and after stumbling in the beginning (I'm looking at you hoisting and scope) but my instructor said I was the first one so far to correctly answer the last function/scope quiz question.

I built a game in vanilla JS with a ruby on rails backend for my project. It was a lot of fun! I'll write some more posts about my process, etc when I have time. For now, it can be played and downloaded locally.

Started a new job last week, there wasn't much in the way of a formal onboarding but I was able to pick things up and resolve tickets. This week several of my colleagues expressed their happiness to have me on the team and impressed with how quickly I picked things up.

Finally got back to coding after some issues (good an less good) and working on a new product, named OMNITED.
This is built from words Omni (all) and United and is about solving the problem of having conversations with different peoples on different channels.

I put a very very simple first LP online: omnited.com.

Based on my own "framework" and Stack (used also with with kunvenu.com) #go, #vue, #arangodb, #redis, #nsq and Rancher/Docker I did this week full reg/auth flow with GUI, Team and Space management.
