More a win for the past few weeks, but finally started blogging at my site thebouv.com and doing some cross-posting on LinkedIn and here on Dev.to.

20+ years in this industry; figured I can do some writing now. :D

Ooh, nice, thanks. Didn't know that was an option in the Dev.to interface. Thanks for the tip.

Weird. I just checked, and I don't have any options near save changes. Just the save changes button itself.

Just near to save changes or Right to save changes there is small round icon. Click that you should see the options. :)

I won the raffle for a "leftover" vaccine. It reduces the chance of me dying this year by 40%.

Installed Java 8 + Android SDK + Android Emulator only using Terminal and without installing Android Studio. That was a ride! The best: most of the commands were already researched by one of our assistants so it's not even my win but even with his shellscripts in place this still was a full-day hackathon to get it all installed correctly on my system πŸ™ˆ

Created a free Kubernetes Hands-On Self-Paced Course in which you'll create a local Kubernetes development environment on macOS or Windows and WSL2, including HTTPS/TLS and OAuth2/OIDC authentication.

Was tough, but totally worth it

Had a little win today. Found a bug where I was converting string to int as base 16 when it should have been base 10.

It was difficult to catch because, as is often the case for me, the conversion from sensor signal to float is quite confusing. I'm gonna have to update the unit tests!
