Side Note : These posts on HN motivated me to start working on this project. Cheers! to the community.
I spent good amount of time cleaning up 15 year old codebase and removed almost 10MB of source code files which was being part of production build and it was never used. This helped reduce the build time.
I thought I'd get appreciated from everyone in the team, but it was never acknowledged. In fact my PM was warried and raised an alarm for regression. Even though I was 100% confident that there would not be any regression, the QA and PM got annoyed that I touched a working software and they had to do extra work.
I then posted on LinkedIn about this achievement to get my share of appreciation. :)

Appreciate any feedback on the application or review on the code..
Thank you
Worst : Many of the co-workers/ department heads etc. etc. have moved ranks above me exponentially and yes because of their hard work. Congratulations to them. But sometimes if I have to reach out to them or they need to reach out to me, they address me as "Sir". "Hello Sir, How are you Sir?" I feel terrible and I feel like they are mocking me for being a looser for not having achieved as much as they have.
What am I doing to overcome this situation? - I have clearly understood and made up my mind that I cannot be a PM. - However, to stay in the job I always have to prove my technical skills. - I am trying to get into competitive programming which I discovered recently and my aim for 2021 is to at least solve one codeforces round - I started enjoying Flutter and I also did 30 days of live streaming on youtube (Just screenshare with music). - I have a mobile app idea that I plan to work in coming days. - I try to write 1k words per day
During work hours, I try not to think about hobbies and concentrate on finishing my work. However, during free time, I fire up my personal laptop and start focusing on my hobbies.
2. I have a reminder for every friday so yes, mostly 1 post weekly which is what I try to keep up to.
3. Github, because I wanted to learn github pages and also design a simple blog myself.
In short, if you produce more, you will automatically learn more.
Now, what to learn depends entirely on your choice, also for me, I am Ok to quitting if I don't like any course.
I wanted to write to express myself better and create a home for me on the interwebs. Also I wanted to improve my technical skills and what better way to write my experiences and be accountable for.
The only way to account my progress is through github commits. I love the color green. ;)
Would love to get feedback on my blog http://codingbbq.github.io. Cheers.
BTW : Super clean and useful software. Congratulations.
I worked on setting up jekyll and made the site as per my like. I have plans to continue writing and maintaining an online journey. Brings a smile everytime I make some commits in the repository. :)
