What Happened Last Week - Issue #9

What happened last week

What an amazing week this was. My onboarding continues, I'm learning a lot about how Kinsta works, who is responsible for what, etc.

Also, I had a chance to be a speaker at WordUp Trójmiasto where I shared my knowledge about WordPress and Astro.

I also shared my story related to World Mental Health Day. I hope you'll never have a problem like I had, but if you'll do - to hesitate to find help.

Today we are "celebrating" #WorldMentalHealthDay. It's a very important day, and I wanted to share my story about why mental health is so important 🧵

I'm a Buddy CI/CD guy, but I would be lying to say that I'm not interested in the TeamCity Pipelines. It looks really nice and powerful. I signed up for the beta and I can't wait for the invite.

Reposted.io - Write once, repost everywhere — beta.reposted.io
