2018 Resolutions

#newyear #books #personaldevelopment
Did I complete them all? No, but honestly it’s not a big deal.
  • Continue to contribute to open source: Mission accomplished 🚀. I continued to be a collaborator on react-slingshot and contributed some work there this year, fielded some issues etc.

A comprehensive starter kit for rapid application development using React.

Why Slingshot?

  1. One command to get started - Type npm start to start development in your default browser.
  2. Rapid feedback - Each time you hit save, changes hot reload and linting and automated tests run.
  3. One command line to check - All feedback is displayed on a single command line.
  4. No more JavaScript fatigue - Slingshot uses the most popular and powerful libraries for working with React.
  5. Working example app - The included example app shows how this all works together.
  6. Automated production build - Type npm run build to do all this:

I was accepted as an early contributor before the project went open source and continued to contribute after it went public. It felt really good to be the first contributor outside of the core team to have a PR merged.

DEV Monthly Report — March 2018

Jess Lee ・ Apr 2 '18

#meta

Although I didn’t contribute to TypeScript or VS Code, I’m still very happy with this year’s contributions.

It’s fun making resolutions, but honestly, I did not lose any sleep over not completing some of these. Aside from resolutions, it was a busy year in work land and in the fall I decided to move on to an amazing role at Autodesk on the Shotgun team.

Prior to starting work, I attended a week long conference with the whole team. We’re distributed, so they try to have these team conferences once or every two years. As a brand new employee who hadn’t even started work yet, it was amazing to meet, wine/dine with my future co-workers and work on ways to improve the product. I’ve been loving it since day 1. Great work/life balance and all the good things you look for in a job. 💯

Aside from the new gig, I'm about to pass 12000 followers on dev.to! 🔥

So as we close off 2018, I just want to say thanks to the dev.to core team and the community. You're all great.

That's all folks!
