Oh my goodness! I really didn't see that coming. This was my first-ever challenge, and I actually won it! I can't believe it, especially among so many amazing participants and submissions.

I can't thank you enough. I truly put my soul into this project, and it feels incredible to see it lead to a win.

And congratulations to all the winners and runner-ups as well. Let's go! 🚀🎉

Honestly, I could only spend about a day on this over the weekend because things were pretty busy, so I went in with zero expectations. I mostly wanted to experiment a bit, learn something new, and see what I could build with the GitHub Copilot CLI.

Big thanks to the judges and the community for the support and encouragement. These challenges are such a great way to try new ideas and see what everyone else in the community is building.

Also, really grateful for the Copilot Pro+ subscription. Excited to keep building with it.

Looking forward to the next challenges. Happy coding! 🚀

Thanks, @georgekobaidze ❤️. I really just wanted to build something for the community, especially for folks who face the same struggles I did but don’t have easy access to resources.

AND Congrats to Metal Birds Watch for taking the top spot. Really well deserved! 👏

Also, wanted to mention this before, but it slipped my mind. I had the chance to attend this talk a few years back, and it was really good. If you like functional programming and planes, this might interest you:

And you did build something special, and for a great purpose too.

Thanks a lot! I really gave it my absolute best. It was a hell of an experience as well. I might even write about it sometime.

Oh, this is exactly the kind of content I usually look for. Thank you! I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for the dev.to community, this place is truly inspiring. Congratulations all of participant this was a exeptional interesting challange, I saw lot of great project.
Thanks to my wife, who is care me and may be right that I'm a little autistic, and I'll take a test.

R.I.P. Flash which is give the original idea.

By the way, this problem is deeper than I first saw. I think this algorithm is the backbone of two-dimensional vision. It is capable to solve the minotaur problem too.

Finally thx my mentor, the greatest hacker of all times, who is written: "God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness." Gen1, this is a creation of first binary language where strictly separate the 1 and 0. The key for His sourcebook is 1Jhon1.

just asking : I believe you guys wait for all winners and runner-ups to reply so you can hand it over to the GitHub team in one go, right ?

otherwise, how long should we wait after responding before receiving the price ? I know things take always some time so I don't wanna bother anyone for no reason 😅

Metal Birds Watch is such a neat idea — tracking planes from the terminal is the kind of project that makes CLI tools fun again. 400+ submissions is wild for a CLI-focused challenge.

Congratulations to winners and also who made it into the top 25 — some really impressive work there 👏

I’ll admit I’m a bit disappointed not seeing my submission in top 25. I spent quite a bit of time building and documenting it, and I genuinely believed it brought something useful to the community.

That said, participating in the challenge was still a great experience.

For anyone interested, my submission is still live and I’d love to hear feedback from the community. Always open to improving and building better.

@jess I noticed my profile is still missing the badge for my submission. I’ve double-checked all the requirements and everything seems in order! Could you or the team take a quick look?

Celebrating the winners is great, but I’d rather see more focus on evaluating Copilot’s impact on code quality and security. Shiny CLI demos are cool, but robust tooling and ethical guidelines matter more than hacks that win a challenge.
