I got to deploy a project to production! I’m especially proud of this because I got to do everything, from the design, to the implementation, building a test suite, setting up a CI/CD tool with test, staging and production branches and automated deployment, to deployment etc… It’s been a thrilling ride!
I have been invited to give a talk on open source at a community event.

Progressing well ahead of schedule, page is coming along nicely and we are making plans for what to do after we hit our MVP
Pushed code to master on my first day at work!

Quote to Go
“We can’t control the fact that bad things are going to happen, but it’s how we react to them that really matters.” — Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Asana
“I think Musk drives hedge fund managers crazy as half of them are short his shares because he exudes so much promotional hucksterism, and half of them are long because he is actually thinking on a 100-year time scale. It’s very confusing.” 😂 — Graham Duncan, co-founder of East-Rock Capital
