It is good to be back. Did you miss me?😉.

Today I bring to you the weather, an online editor, and a career for you to explore.

1. Weather Forecasting App

⛈️ I get this question a lot: “What should I build to add to my portfolio?” - This is a nice app that you can build by using the MERN Stack - MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js.

You will be developing so many skills by trying this code. You will gain a lot of experience that you can talk about and show during job interviews.

If you don’t have experience, people will want to see that you have tried to build things. This can be one.

1. Online Browser Based Coding Editor

💾 Do you know that you can use Visual Studio Code (VS Code) online in the browser? This article talks about how your browser can manipulate local files by using the File System Access API.

Beyond that, now you know you can use VS Code in the browser without installing anything locally.

1. What is a “Product Manager”?

👷 A product manager is the person who identifies the customer need and the larger business objectives that a product or feature will fulfill, articulates what success looks like for a product, and unites a team to turn that vision into a reality.

And guess what? I decided to become one.

This article will tell you what a Product Manager does. It can be a career path for you.

My personal update:

• 🍁 I’m back in Canada after almost 3 months in Brazil. I have accomplished my goals there: (1) Moved my mom to the countryside to give her a better life. (2) Took vacation time with my kids (3) Worked.
  Glad to be back, but missing friends and family already. I will be going back more often. Now I have more reasons 💕

• ✂️ I was laid off from the company I was working for. I’m already going through the interview process for another job.

• 👷 I have decided to change roles. I am walking away from very technical positions to focus more on the intersection of business and technology. I’m looking for opportunities as a Product Manager / Product Owner.
