2020
- 2 minutes read - 234 wordsTLDR; I survived 2020 and managed a few wins
What a year.
I have had a lot of time on the computer this year. I have put in a lot of work as a distraction. Despite everything I managed a few wins this year. I figure I would focus on them to celebrate a little in general and celebrate this blog and the topics I may explore in the posts to come:
-
Github Mentoring
- Mentored six up and coming developers about improving their github and what I learned in kind.
-
Paring down my personal website with Parcel.js
- Took a Vue-CLI generator / PWA with a lot of dependencies and relative complexity down to one single index.html file built out with parcel.js
-
Netlify
- Learned how to use it and became a fan; will compare to past experiences with firebase
-
Applying pagination
- How I solved a performance problem in the field through applying some pagination and making use of existing PHP classes
-
