I must admit, my initial plan to use this website more often hasn't quite gone according to plan in the past few months. But I'm ready to start fresh and try again.
Lately, I've been spending most of my time working on my software project and playing games. World of Warcraft has been a particular favorite, especially the unique new game mode called Solo Shuffle Arena. It's total chaos - you get random teammates in a 3v3 combat with a total of 6 rounds. The damage dealers get swapped out each round, but the healer only gets to play with a specific combination of damage dealers, creating a dynamic 1v1 healer experience with many other factors at play.
In terms of music, I've been listening mostly to In Flames and their albums I, The Mask and Battles, which I highly recommend. Thanks for making this record it really saved my life. I don't what would have become out of me if i didn't had music all the last month's. Let's not find out. Music is the best.
I'm thrilled to say that I completed my software project on time, which surprised not only myself but everyone else as well. The functionality that we've all been waiting for has finally been delivered, and it's a huge accomplishment for me as I planned everything from start to finish. I'm incredibly proud of what I've created - it's all me!
Of course, I couldn't have done it without the help of a fantastic coworker who always had my back and helped me with the planning process. It was a massive project, consisting of 23,000 lines of code, but it was a significant step in the right direction for me. This little project has given me the confidence to take on more complex tasks in the future.
The project itself included several challenging tasks, including printing over TCP/IP with ZPL programming, reading values from a libra, working with third-party APIs, authentication/authorization with JWT, mobile development with Android Kotlin, creating a React frontend for another department, handling backend routes with Golang, executing SQL queries and transactions, and deploying the server to a Docker machine locally while also providing a management system. In total, the backend alone resulted in around 23,000 lines of code, which was a challenge to complete.
I'm happy to say that I never gave up on this project and saw it through to the end. Now, I feel a great sense of accomplishment and confidence to tackle even more significant projects in the future.
