What was your win this week??

Eating more fruits than before.

I tried migrating a somewhat complex WordPress site to Astro. Here’s what I learned: porting the structure (posts, custom post types, custom fields, etc.) is neither complicated nor time-consuming—however, recreating the UI exactly from scratch is a major challenge. Quite honestly, I’d rather start with an existing template than try to replicate the original exactly 🙃

I finally started a blog I'd been wanting to for a while.

I've been playing for a while, so I thought it'd be a good idea to keep an ad-free reference site for guitar theory and related things. I think it's the coolest project I've started so far.

This week I made sick thumbnail designs.

But fighting js bugs for now since I decided to make custom components for fretboards; should have stuck to react-fretboard or something.. It's been less than two weeks since launch, but I'm super happy with the progress on blogs and how it's turning out. Esp, the blogs, here's one on C major scale if anybody's interested.

I graduated from codex academy

Managed to cook up another article and video for a DEV challenge just before my flight. Barely made it in time, but totally worth it!

Oh by the way, I just surpassed 10K followers. Thanks every one of you who’s subscribed to my average content (at best) 😄

Posted about how Dart 3.13 primary constructors simplify any remaining boilerplate for BlocSignal, reducing the developer friction even further, and gotten great feedback on it. Timely, as Dart 3.13 just hit stable!

Her AI Studio was accepted into Google for Nonprofits, and let me tell you that was a STRUGGLE! So I'm happy about it as now we can provision emails.

My win this week is probably something much simpler: having a little time to actually enjoy life. 😅
After a pretty crazy few months of internships, hackathons, projects, interviews, and finally getting placed, I'm finally in a position where I can slow down a little.

So this week I've been trying to spend more time with family and friends, catch up on things I kept postponing, and just enjoy having some free time without constantly thinking about the next deadline.

Getting placed was obviously a huge milestone, but honestly, having some time to breathe and enjoy the people around me feels like a win too. ❤️

Joined the DEV Bug Smash Challenge!! Haven't joined a challenge/hackathon from DEV in a while so this once the perfect time since I squashed a bug on our work site a few weeks ago!

Finally liberated from the old company (read: laid off). Giving myself a few days off.🤣🤣🤣
