Heyo y'all!
What's everybody learning on this weekend?
Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice π, sprucin...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
C# woo!
Sharpening your C# skills eh? I'm sure no one's ever made that joke before. π
Your the first one to make that joke to me atleast π
You guys are fun π
We live quite far away, Iβd say, but Micheal is an absolutely lovely guy. And Iβm sure we would get on but Forum must come to England!
Do you have any good references to learn too?
I am learning, about disappointing features of #digitalocean kubernetes monitoring and little it is documented.
Dang! That's unfortunate. I hope you find some good resources.
Official docs are fine, but in case of Kubernetes, some use cases are k8s oriented and are not discussed, thus leading to an dead and OpenAI constantly fakes solutions, so if there is something to be emphasized from my experience:
Well, at least their official docs are good, but still that's a bummer you're not finding what you're needing Kubernetes-wise.
Also, I totally feel you on your takeaway. I could see AI creating a bunch noise in the space when you're trying to look for genuine, human-written documentation. π
At one point in time, DigitalOcean was regularly sharing their blog content on DEV here, but it's been a minute. I see they have a community tutorials section now too (for instance, this post) but you might already be aware of these spots.
The proliferation of AI content sure does make it hard to dig for good stuff these days. It's been a chore to moderate on DEV and we've certainly not cracked the code yet. Good luck finding what ya need out there, Alex!
Thanks @michaeltharrington
Digital Ocean Very good.
Maybe a bit left of field but absolutely nothing. After 13 years in the industry I really feel that our weekends shouldn't be used for learning or work related activities. There should be time made during the working week for that and I'm lucky enough to work in a role that allows a day every 2 weeks for R&D time. Our mental health is just as important a tool as our skillset so I'd suggest sometimes it's healthy (especially if you are starting out in the industry) to use your weekend for something you enjoy that will let you take your mind off work.
Nice! That sounds like a really healthy outlook, Jason. I absolutely agree that it's important to get some good downtime in.
To be honest, I wouldn't typically be logged on here, but I'm working a weekend Support Shift β happens once every 6 weeks β which means I'm reviewing abuse reports and checking in on the community. I always get side-tracked with reading my notifications and responding to comments though, haha. All this to say, I'm with ya on taking a break to recharge on the weekends when I can, and I feel pretty lucky to be in a position to do so. π
So beyond work, any hobbies you're up to or perhaps something you're learning purely out of passion for it? For instance, I've been teaching myself the song "Revolution" by The Beatles this weekend. Such a rockin' tune! πΈ
Does DIY count? I've always been someone who tended to pay professionals to do odd jobs but since I turned 35 I've been doing all sorts myself. Electrics. Plumbing. Tiling. All things I never learnt when I was younger and have now become pretty competent at. Current project is the renovation of our third bathroom. The main aim is to try and pick up as many skills as possible so that hopefully in the future I can move out of IT/Programming and move into property development / house flipping.
Oh yeah, that totally counts! And I can relate... I've been watching lots of DIY/home improvement videos too recently. My wife and I are building a place out in the country right now and my brother + dad are our contractors; they're both residential contractors professionally. Anywho, we're in talks with them about little areas of the house we wanna keep unfinished and do ourselves, for instance: the kitchen backsplash, some built-in shelves in our closets, and maybe a built-in bookshelf in my office. Everything you're saying right resonates on that level β I definitely wanna learn more about building/being handy.
Also, it's cool that you're thinking ahead for a potential future career change-up in property management. I'm also kinda loosely thinking about a future career change with a similar but different angle. I've been pretty curious about architecture over the years, and I've been learning about what it might take to get into that field. My local community college has draftsman courses and that seems like a good way to get a foot in the door... becoming a full-on architect actually would require a good bit more schooling for me, but becoming a draftsman would let me get a taste for it all and put me in a good position to move into the field.
I'm interested in the intersection between architecture and tech, for instance, using VR to give a virtual tour of a place to a client. I feel like there's a lot of potential there!
learnt how to use NextAuth in NextJS 14.
What is NextJS useful for?
NextJS is a react framework used to build websites.
Practicing Nodejs + Express + MongoDB with this tutorial from John Smilga

One of my legs was broken but I was still dancing on what was left of my footing. And that's just a metaphor!

Not really learning but building an app using solidity and nextJS
Right on! What's your app about?
It's a real-time chatting application based on blockchain
I'm studying more about computer vision and discovering a new passion called mathematics, I didn't imagine that after years I would have double the interest. In addition to wanting to solve complex problems.
