After seeing the HUGE success of last months win for the month post, I decided we should keep it going 
No matter how big or small your win for February is, share it here so we can celebrate it with you 
My wins for this month:
I’m slowly getting to grips with AngularJS. I’ve managed to create some directives that I’ve able to mix and match like Lego bricks across different pages. In the process I’m slowly paying down some technical debt to do with ASP.Net web forms shudder. As well as improving the site from the technical point of view, both areas are now less scary to me.
For me my biggest win this month is personal. Me and my partner decided to ban being on our devices (mobile phones, laptops) after 20:00 every evening. This has worked so good for us, we’re going to continue with it. Watched more movies, had good conversations, read more, played board games.
With the evenings getting lighter this is going to be great!
For me it’s attending Automation UI week and getting affirmation that the decisions I have made around my automation framework design were the right ones. Being on a team of 1 for so long has you doubting yourself.
Not only that but also having exposure and interaction with people who are in the same position as me has been very refreshing. I am not alone!
Professional
I recently learned to setup an AWS Linux 2 EC2 instance as a Selenium Grid host. Using Linux instead of Windows will cost about half as much. Now I’m setting up AWS Workspaces machines as Selenium Grid nodes. The whole Grid could actually be run just a few Workspaces. Huge savings over data center costs.
I really like this topic, great idea!
Professional: been seeing a noticeable shift/improvement at my company in getting testers involved earlier and talking about risk and defect prevention
Personal: Made it to the 4th week of a Coursera course (1 week to go after this one). Fun fact: I learned that in general, the size of the seed determines how deep into the soil it should go.
Would love to see the end-result (or even the draft version)
Well, this is kinda second half of January + February update from me since we only worked second half of January.
Professional:
Started mentoring three new QA interns mid January, and we just finished first month retrospective meetings with them (last one was today). I already did one mentorship two years ago, but this time I upped the game by mentoring 3 at once, and also by doing it completely online. It was challenging experience, but they’re super content with it and are now starting to get into their first real projects so I’m quite proud about that.
Continued my learning enthusiasm this year too, now I’m at 400+ completed courses on Pluralsight. Still not sure where exactly I’m going with all of it, but I do enjoy learning new stuff.
Personal:
Got both doses of vaccine so I should be fine now. Still won’t take too much risk, but I’m more calm knowing that I have at least some protection in my blood.
Visited my hometown, spent almost a full week with my parents, and also managed to see some friends which I haven’t seen since October. We’re regularly in touch over social networks, but it’s a bit different when you get to sit down and drink some beer together.
So would I! I’m hoping to find some time to develop those ideas once the next cohort of the software testing bootcamp is all scheduled as we will have all the slide resources then so it will be just delivery. At the moment we are developing the slides as well so it takes most of my spare time.
Will share when there’s something useful to feedback on though.
Loads of personal wins for me this month:
And a few professional ones too:
