Yesterday Meta released Threads, a competitor app to Twitter and raked in millions of signups in the first few hours. Personally I’m enjoying to much more than Twitter so far and I don’t think I’m alone on that.

What do y’all think about Threads so far?

Glad to be working from my desk again this week as I had to go out of town and work from just my laptop last week.

I’ve got my morning coffee and reviewing what I did last week so I can pick up where I left off. I’ve been building some really cool stuff lately with Chakra UI that I can’t wait to see released.

3 Productivity tips to make your week a success!

1️⃣ Timeboxing: Allocate specific time intervals for each task. This helps you maintain focus, overcome procrastination, and achieve your goals efficiently.

2️⃣ Effective Prioritization: Identify your highest-priority tasks and tackle them head-on. Develop a clear plan, stay organized, and witness a significant surge in productivity.

3️⃣ Break Down Tasks: Large tasks can feel overwhelming, leading to procrastination. Break them down into smaller, more manageable tasks.

Doing some studying today

Getting started on the Next.js 13+ course from Scott Moss on Frontend Masters. I’ve been building on the side with a lot of the new features from Next.js 13 but hoping to learn more from this course. Hoping I can use some of these features in my Next.js repos at work too 😃

Quarterly planning went well yesterday. Shared all the info I’ve collected and organized on the 2 projects I’m the subject matter expert for and outlined the epics of work for the next quarter. That’s a success if you ask me 😁

Upgraded my MacBook yesterday from my 2020 13” MacBook Pro with an i5 chip that ran as hot as the sun sitting in my lap to a new 14” MacBook Pro with an M2 Pro chip. What a difference I can tell already!

Got my coffee and ready to start the day. I’ve been digging through a bunch of old VB code this week tracking down some form validation logic so me and my team can rebuild it in a modern service. Digging through old code in a language you don’t know isn’t fun but someone’s gotta do it 😅

Lately, I have been focusing more on my Reels content. Specifically, I am aiming to create content that provides value instead of just following trends. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on my ongoing multi-part series in the comments. I have more series in mind that I plan to release later, so stay tuned!

Yesterday was a very productive day for me, as it was our "Meeting Free Wednesday". I was able to get a lot of heads-down time and dedicated the day to repository maintenance, which included upgrading packages and making small fixes.

Kicking off Tuesday with some coffee and waiting for my PR to get code reviewed. Tuesday is my most meeting heavy day so I’ll be in and out of meetings most of today.

For aspiring software engineers if you’re anything like I was you’ll be surprised how many meetings there are once you start working in the field 😅

Working on a Jest configuration for a new repo this morning.

Jest is one of the most popular testing libraries out there for JavaScript and is also capable of testing things like TypeScript and React.

Happy Monday 👋

Kicking off the morning working on editing some GitHub actions workflows to enable automatically cleaning up files from S3 PR stacks.

This will be super useful to keep from cluttering up S3 on AWS with files from PR stacks that are no longer needed. Great practice to make sure you clean up resources you no longer need!

Rainy Monday 🌧️

The weather this morning is a vibe. 😌

Anyways, Friday I finally wrapped up work on a massive Frontend ticket and got it over to code review and hoping there’s not going to be any further revision on that because it was a pain 😂
