This week, I rolled up my sleeves and dove deep into building the infrastructure for my appโ€”yep, itโ€™s getting real!

๐Ÿ“ฆ Docker for Local Deployment
๐Ÿ”„ CI/CD with GitHub Actions
โ˜๏ธ DigitalOcean VM + K3S Cluster

I also set up Ingress and Services so everything can talk to each other, and the app can be accessed seamlessly. Itโ€™s all running on Kubernetes now, so Iโ€™m feeling pretty high-tech. Big thanks to Josรฉ Carlos Rodrรญguez Mora, รlvaro Galisteo รlvarez, and Javier Robledo Zarco for the helpโ€”I couldnโ€™t have done it without you guys! ๐Ÿ™

In between setting up servers, I took a break and finished reading The Pragmatic Programmer. This book is hands down one of the best reads Iโ€™ve ever had, not just for programming, but life in general. Itโ€™s like a treasure chest of wisdom.

If you're interested, Iโ€™ve compiled all the action points and hints I took from the book for anyone who wants to check it out. Trust me, itโ€™s totally worth it. ๐Ÿ“š

Big news! Iโ€™m officially part of a project with Charlie Sรกnchez and Sergio Ruiz โ€”weโ€™re building a dopamine detox app (codename Kiwi Project). The idea is to help people regain control over their habits and lead healthier, happier lives.

Itโ€™s going to be a public repository (not open-source, but feel free to check it out!) and we plan on having something usable in a couple of weeks. If you're interested in playtesting, keep an eye out for the sign-up form on my feed. Itโ€™s going to be exciting! ๐ŸŽฎ

Besides all the coding, I spent some time researching companies I want to work for. Iโ€™ve narrowed it down to six countries:

โ€ข Spain
โ€ข UK
โ€ข Ireland
โ€ข Australia
โ€ข Canada
โ€ข Amsterdam

I picked one or two companies per country and now itโ€™s time to get my resume out there! Iโ€™m also targeting front-end, back-end, and Android jobs as well. Canโ€™t wait to get those interview jitters back! ๐Ÿ˜…

This week, I also attended a few more full-stack events (gotta keep learning, right?). And, just to top it off, I signed up to be a volunteer at Madrid codemotion. If youโ€™re going, letโ€™s definitely meet up!

Thanks for reading, and as always, if youโ€™re on a similar journey or just want to chat about programming, drop me a message. Whatโ€™s been the most exciting project youโ€™ve worked on recently? ๐Ÿค”

With love,
