Hacking LinkedIn to build database for our salesman
With paid LinkedIn Sales Navigator, it's simple to filter companies based on various criteria, but we need to send filtered companies to our CRM. Writing a small hack to export them outside of LinkedIn :-).

More money from our VC on the way?
Our VC is happy with our progress and would like to speed up the growth by providing us with additional money faster than initially negotiated.
Good sign that we are doing great?

Merge master to our new feature set
Wow, that wasn't easy - master is moving forward fast as we need to be flexible and react to our users' needs. And the new feature set changes a lot of internal things. So there are always a "big" clashes.
Finished a huge DB migration
Sometimes, to introduce new features or fix issues, it's necessary to migrate the current database schema to the new one. I wouldn't say I like it. I'm always scared :-). Of course, there are backups and replicas, but you know... that weird feeling is still here. Do you know it?
30% of tests failed 🤔
I left my computer turned on overnight to let it go through all the test suites. It takes almost an hour to go through all of them.
I went to bed at 3 am, and I wanted to wake up and check those few that failed. Due to changes in some internal mechanisms, I expect a few of them to stop passing.
Well, I made a routine mistake, and 30% of them failed :-). Let's start over!

Finished Learning from billion dollar startups by Thomas Oppong
Not as good as I expected. Analysis are not deep enough, practical value is missing. But it's light inspirative reading.
Finished a lot of paperwork and organization today.
I do really hate these first days of every new year.
Marketing/Sales strategy meeting
We are completely remote team but this one is rare in-person one.
Added full support for localizing Storyblok content
Finished improved support for Android, RESX and XLIFF
I slowly become crazy about these formats as they are all built on top of XML and inherit its problems with entities, tags, CDATA section, etc. Nothing like this is necessary with JSON and other formats.
Finished customizable plural types
While it's not recommended, some clients substitute empty check with plural types. We don't want to break their existing workflow, so adding a support for it.

Finished a call with VC fund
We have something hot here (!), so there's a couple of VCs interested but as we are not in hurry and have enough money, it's time to evaluate each offer carefully.
I love this community
Guys, I'm an introvert. I have a problem with sharing anything from my life and mostly the progress of my company. Why? Because it's not yet performing as much as I would like it to. But this community help me. A lot. Thanks!
