GROUP BLOG EXPERIMENT

[lpatmo]

Why?

Every so often, it's helpful to jot down some retrospectives about what we've learned/what wee accomplished/challenges we're facing.

Since it can be hard to schedule a good meeting time that works for everyone, this group blog experiment also serves as an asynchronous supplement to group roadmap meetings.

What can I post here?

Please post using one of the following two templates:

### A learning note 📝 

### What is going well 🎉 
### Challenge(s) I'm trying to solve 🚠 
### Something I could use some help with ❓ 
### Concerns/risks 💀 
### Shout-outs 😍 
### My next steps 🔢 

Who can post?

Feel free to post here if you're contributing to https://github.com/codebuddies/backend!

When?

As often as you like! Or if you'd like a suggestion: once every two weeks.

Why a GitHub Issue instead of a real Wordpress/tumblr/Medium/Hugo/Jekyll blog?

• posts are automatically timestamped and linked to GitHub usernames already

Norms

1. Please use this thread only to post! If you need to reply to a post or start a discussion, please create a new GitHub issue or follow up with someone on the CodeBuddies Slack.

Side note: I thought I knew project management but in revisiting everything that I set a few months ago I can't believe how sparsely I wrote some tickets and how easily issues became outdated or ran away from me 😂

Started a roadmap doc at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuVO-v0n73ogoFIwpwJgI1Bkso8sP2mg5zqbX9FB3lU/edit# for the first time; main things, in summary, are:

• staging deployment of backend
• lots of cleanup (e.g. pagination, create resource form) on front-end
• verify email and reset password user flow

Then we're done with MVP!

Note: this will be moved into the new Discussions feature, so am closing this issue.
