I kicked this off as "Watercooler Wednesday", but going to change the title because we don't need to overdo it on the "day of week" theme. 😄
This is a general discussion thread about... Whatever. What's new in your life?
Hobbies, interests, games, kids, parents, travel, career, whatever.
Let's keep this chat light and positive and see if it can become a nice weekly check-in.
I got back from Paris over the weekend, after attending and speaking DotJS.
I had a great time there — my first time. My favorite thing was just wandering the streets. I didn't go too far out of my way to be a tourist.
Fantastic, Ben! Exploring new places is amazing!
Woah, that is AWESOME! You are AWESOME! ✨
Fun
Amazing Ben!! Many Congrats!!!
This week I'm joining a Code Pen challenge about puzzles and reviewing some CSS animation proprieties. Also, diving into HackerRank and LeetCode challenges while still catching up on college content during conjunctivitis. Now just a reminder: don't be harsh with yourself with things you can't control.
Wow, how exciting with the Code Pen challenge! Best wishes on your challenge! You are doing A LOT! Totally awesome! ✨
Thank you for your advise!
Joining a new team within AWS this week, yay 😁!
I made it to second place on the list on CodeCombat (simulated multiplayer matches). I have been persistent in doing multiplayer all day long for 1 year and 7 months, so much I can almost see triple and walk around myself. I have been wanting to be on that list for so long, they just updated the list last Friday. To my great surprise (and happiness) I am now on it, not at the buttom but, on second place! 🥈✨
That's impressive, Anita! Congrats on your efforts!
Thank you so much! ☺️
Been really enjoying jamming on Rust
