Jan 13: DEV Daily Discovery

Hey folks!

I want to try something new.

Please make a comment to this thread with a DEV post that you think deserves to be read more broadly. If it's your own post that's fine.

It could be recent, or it could be classic.

And then read through the thread and ❤️ posts where you like. I'm hoping that the wisdom of the crowds can help unearth some great content every day.

The feed already works this way, but I think this could be a fun way to complement the feed for a different kind of discovery.

Use the post's link liquid tag to display it fully, i.e.:

{% link https://dev.to/devteam/for-empowering-community-2k6h %}

And feel free to add why you want to want to give it more love.

Don't worry about whether you've picked the best post, let the readers decide if it should rise to the top.

Hi Ben,

Good initiative.

I did a post about coding best practices that can be used no matter the programming language you're using.

A lot of the time, developers want to learn new languages, did a lot of stuff, but don't spend much time trying to understand good principles or maybe just they don't have enough guidelines.

Hope It helps.

For anyone, I wrote more content, if you want to check it out, just visit my dev.to profile.

Doctor's wash their hands all the time to avoid infecting patients. We should always start development by creating a new branch, just to avoid time lost because of entangled changes.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the leading technologies of recent time and it is making a lot of buzz with models like GPT-3 and BERT(which used for google search). A new model DALL-E was released a few days ago by Open AI which is used to generate images from text. In this post, I have described about Python libraries you must know to start learning about NLP this year.

Last year I had a 'thought' (not even a goal) to write one article a week, consistently throughout the year. Guess what I did it!

Here's what my last week article looks like:

Remembering which method to use on a Javascript array was difficult when I was learning. This post really helped me to remember the methods, what they do, what they return, etc and the visuals are a big part of that.
