This week, I rolled up my sleeves and dove deep into building the infrastructure for my appโyep, itโs getting real!
๐ฆ Docker for Local Deployment
๐ 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. Itโs all running on Kubernetes now, so Iโm feeling pretty high-tech. Big thanks to Josรฉ Carlos Rodrรญguez Mora, รlvaro Galisteo รlvarez, and Javier Robledo Zarco for the helpโI couldnโt have done it without you guys! ๐

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 Iโve ever had, not just for programming, but life in general. Itโs like a treasure chest of wisdom.
If you're interested, Iโve compiled all the action points and hints I took from the book for anyone who wants to check it out. Trust me, itโs totally worth it. ๐

Big news! Iโm officially part of a project with Charlie Sรกnchez and Sergio Ruiz โweโre building a dopamine detox app (codename Kiwi Project). The idea is to help people regain control over their habits and lead healthier, happier lives.
Itโs 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. Itโs going to be exciting! ๐ฎ

Besides all the coding, I spent some time researching companies I want to work for. Iโve narrowed it down to six countries:
โข Spain
โข UK
โข Ireland
โข Australia
โข Canada
โข Amsterdam
I picked one or two companies per country and now itโs time to get my resume out there! Iโm also targeting front-end, back-end, and Android jobs as well. Canโt wait to get those interview jitters back! ๐

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 youโre going, letโs definitely meet up!
Thanks for reading, and as always, if youโre on a similar journey or just want to chat about programming, drop me a message. Whatโs been the most exciting project youโve worked on recently? ๐ค
With love,
