Start-up company huh..this is gonna be interesting.

Still in process of making things work well with each other. Kinda challenging since all have to be in Typescript which I myself very new to it. Hopefully able to make them work by today & can move on the next step.

I know setup process sometimes feel tedious depending on the complexity of your project. But it got more harder when we have to do it using language or libraries that we yet learn. Or learn & apply them at the same time. That's what we gonna do this week. hehe

Let's get started!

Starting to upload Youtube videos again starting next week. Hope this time can see the end of it. Hahah

It's funny to some extend as to how I get to where I am. Let's here it.

Fun times. Hehe. Really excited bout this new chapter of my life.

It's quite hard. Since I don't know how exactly the data gonna looks as. I just take a guess & later will have to modify them accordingly once I got the exact data. 

Yet another tricky logic I've to create for our custom stepper component. It took me quite a bit of time to make it work. Still got some part need to be amended or updated later. 

Yeah. It's quite hard for me to read or go through other programmers' code. Especially when it's not in the same framework and language. I bet every programmers will face this kind of issue some time in their life. However, things can be a lot easier when you've colleagues that can support you. 

We're expected to finish this system by end of this June. I'm doing my best to complete all UI & any related logics for making the UI works as soon as possible. Took upon myself to handle the most biggest part of the features & pages. I also have to create & update system documentation along the way. Make it easier for the other developers that will be joining later sometime this upcom...

Done so much on the custom components creation this week. Bit of the largest portions of UIUX have been done to some of the pages also. I'm gonna continue this pace to the rest of next week & hopefully able to finish all UIUX part before begin to implement APIs into all these pages. 

This is my way of pre-setupping a new project. Do the backbone features first like authorization, state management, database & server setup. After that, we should do any custom components to accommodate every variations that it has. Then, do every page UI & lastly incorporate actual data to that all that UIs.

Easily done when you've proper doc

Integrating live chat into the website is not the challenging part of this. But learning how to use their dashboard kinda hard actually. I'm still learning it tho. 

Yup. Even when I don't want to. I still have to do it. 

I don't know why I just really don't like debugging someone else work. Actually I don't mind if I've some kind of reference of what I'm have to debug. Like previous documentation of said issue or whatnot. That would help me a lot & save a lot of time. But most just don't have it. That's why it's tedious job when trying to debug someone else work. Really not fun.

There's still one feature left we need to do before pushing everything to production. After that's done. We're ready to make the system live! I've learn so much regarding devops stuff while doing this project. Especially about containerization with docker & CICD process with Gitlab. Previously, on my own project, every time there's an update that I need to push to production. I need to manuall...

Done containerize our app, db & web server. Feeling very happy bout this achievement. 

I'm currently learning how to use docker or containerization with gitlab pipeline. Why? I want to know the best way of how one can automate deployment of production ready website. Previously, I've to do a lot of setup on the server itself. Now, I just need to install docker & import any environment files use on the web itself. Other than that, all are being configured using docker. Much neater...

Yup. I guess we have to wait another week to finally able to finish the web. But, the thing that excites me the most is the fact that I learned a lot about docker & containerization for the past few days. I'm able to test it myself on my own project and it works! Currently I'm trying to make use gitlab's registry & CICD to containerize my application project, mysql db & nginx webserver...

Yup. This current project is a small project actually. I already finished most of my part except the Live Chat feature. After that, I'm gonna start doing the pre-setup processes, same as this one to our new upcoming project. That should speed up our work progress by a good margin actually. 

For this project, I'm given the opportunity to setup this project however I want. And have been told to do the same for the upcoming project. Because of that, I kinda busy currently since I've, to not just do the documentation for the setup that I've done. I also have to, from time to time, do a short meeting with other coworkers that handling the same project. To give them some sort of a startup...

It's been more than 6 months I've done this audio podcast regarding the updates of every week of my employment. This episode I'm gonna do a bit of recap how I can to get this job, how I handle it & how I'm planning to continue moving forwards. Hope everything went meaningful for you. And will keep on being like that for the rest of our lives. 

Yup.
