Building an MVP, Writing E2E Tests, and Baking Cookies | Software Engineer Week in My Life

Hello, friends! I hope everyone is doing well! Here is a realistic week in my life as a software engineer. This week I started building my project idea that I have had for awhile - I think it is a great idea and has the potential to turn into more than just a project.

Join me as I balance my full-time job while building my own MVP. Life isn't all about code, so there's also some cookie baking, gym sessions, and grocery shopping thrown in! Let me know if you are starting a new project! (:

I do not have Instagram, X, or Facebook but you can join my Discord server here:   / discord  

This week:
Lots of product meetings and collaboration with UX designer
Implementing Storybook components into the frontend
Writing end-to-end tests with Playwright
Thursday Tech Talk
Gym and grocery shopping
