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.

This one, because it's so different from most other posts (it's about astronomy, analyzed/simulated through computer code):

I loved this article and really thought it should have gotten more attention - such a great way to use a current event to raise our awareness of accessibility!

Savvas Stephanides has some great posts on how to fix particular accessibility mistakes that have helped make me more conscious of how I can improve.

This post which I recently wrote down is a special one for me because I:

• achieved something which is not already available
• got to know that D3.js is just awesome if you wanna customize something for your own need

Though this post didn't receive the traction, I feel one doesn't write here for recognitions but to help grow the community 😇

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.

This one is mine on the white labeling application because I remember how difficult it was to do it before, and how much easier it is now with CSS variables.

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:

The importance of writing a technical article consistently. ✍️

Here I tell you why consistency is important and what it can do to you as a person be it about your career or life. Lots of straight truths are there.

Hope you all will connect after reading this.

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.
