Losing teaches us much more than winning. I lost too, even though I used every last bit of my energy and free time for my project. Let's use this as a motivation to try again and again. 🔥

For me having the goal of writing something, anything, technical in the AI space was reward enough.

Then I looked at how much I ended up with and my jaw dropped.

Some people diminish just how much detail there is in this space. For everyone who added to the knowledge space on Gemma 4. Congratulations, You've travelled places a lot of people will never see in person!

Ciao @francistrdev, don't worry the important thing is to participate. There will be other opportunities for win. (I am sad too 😁)
Do you know if there's a reason why the participation badge isn't showing up on profile?

  • Is it just a delay?
  • Has the project not been considered?
  • Are there other reasons? Nice to know.

Hey Marco! It usually takes time for the badge to popup (seems like the badge is shown in your profile!!).

Thanks again for the kind message :D

Fantastic builds and articles! I learned so much from all of you!
I'm so glad I entered this competition and even though I didn't place it was one of the most rewarding experiences!! Gemma is living up to its (her) name and opens so many doors for all of us. Let's keep building!

​Missing Completion Badge Support
​Hi DEV Team! 👋 I published my valid submission during the challenge window but my completion badge hasn't shown up on my profile yet. Could a moderator please take a quick look and manually adjust it?
​Here is my submission post: The Delusion of Infinite Compute: Running Gemma 4 on an i5 CPU

Seems I still have a lot more to learn, won’t be able to code for 8 weeks🥲
