I've been playing around with Svelte/SvelteKit recently and I love it. I've learned so much. I'm currently playing with forms in Svelte and experimenting with different form and validation libraries. Where are the Svelte jobs? 😀 😀

Maybe check out the Svelte Society for Svelte job postings? Maybe my coworker @brittneypostma has suggesrions for good places to look for Svelte job postings as she’s very active in the Svelte community.

Of course! The Svelte discord has a jobs channel that is constantly getting new opportunities and there is a Svelte jobs newsletter.

Working with types in your libraries/packages is difficult. I'm writing a json validation library for dart, and working with types is a pain xD Not using types, that's not that hard, but passing types around and expecting certain types and so on is quite difficult.

PD: Not difficult to do, difficult to do well

This week I learned that I probably have ADHD. This is quite a bizarre concept for me, given that I am 30 years old. But suddenly everything makes sense. I also learned that a lot of fellow coders have ADHD, and that there are support communities out there. So yeah, not much in terms of technical skills this week but a massive and potentially life changing realization that I believe will help in my career and personal development alike.

I learned from a friend that every Docker container can have its own health check built in (very handy) and I'm re-exploring using Firebase's authentication for my apps so I don't have to bother rolling my own.

Firebase's solution is free (other than phone authentication; which I don't really care that much about) and would provide a very simple solution that would scale well and should plug in easily. Once I've got it all smooth and easy I'll probably write up an article with a lovely clickbait title like, "Don't write your auth; let Firebase give it to you for free!" or something equally ridiculous.

I've started Adrian Cantrill's course for the "AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate" certification.
So far, I'm very impressed with the depth of information. The course not only prepares me for the test but also for the job itself.

I also purchased the Book Rust by Rustaceans to improve my skills as a Software Engineer. I would also highly appreciate any additional learning resources.

I was able to make a Decimal to Binary calculator (cpp). After I had finished this I tried to make a Binary to Decimal decoder, but it didn't work out and I had to use geeksforgeeks.org for help. I eventually figured it all out and I am pretty happy.

Elixir is growing steadilly.

Recruiters and companies get very fixated on the exact tech stack that you have worked, so it is much faster getting interviews if you apply in a tech stack that you have on your resume. Even if you worked in a particular industry and area of technology before, recruiters will complete dismiss your experience as irrelevant unless its an exact match on tech stack.
