While AI like ChatGPT offers a new way to interact with information, Google has a massive advantage with its vast data indexing, reliability, and integrated services like Gmail, Maps, and YouTube. Its strong focus on accuracy, speed, and user trust makes it difficult for AI alone to fully replace it as the dominant search engine.
love this idea! such a great way to reflect and hold yourself accountable for this new year of 2025! peace , code and love!
2024 is a very important year for me.

Good opportunity to journal and reflect
Yup, definitely
This is my first time on this platform, and I have to say, this challenge is absolutely amazing! Iโm excited to share my thoughts and learn from this wonderful community๐คฉ๐คฉ.
Probably a chance to make my first post here hahaha
The first thing I did on 2025's first morning was number to binary program (in C) to convert 2025 into what you have up there...
I've never written a blog post before, but I like the prompts. I'll write for one or two of the prompts just for fun! It'll be fun to be part of this collective introspection movement.
Am taking up this challenge. As I see this as an opportunity to improve my writing skill.
We know a lot of folks have already started writing their reflections and look-aheads. Feel free to update the tags on those posts to submit them to the challenge if you'd like!
How do we make a submission?
You can participate by publishing a post with the submission template provided above.
Just had my therapy today and my psychiatrist advised to plan my year. I'm doing the Compiling 2025 because of that ๐

What a wonderful idea for this New Year Writing Challenge. ๐ค๐๐ฅณ
Reflecting back on 2024 through this challenge has been an incredibly rewarding experience. For me personally, itโs so easy to be hard on yourself when you're always looking ahead, focused on the next goal, but taking a moment to look back through the "rearview mirror" of the year really helps you see how far you've come.
Iโm also really grateful for dev.to for providing such a beginner-friendly space thatโs open to everyone, regardless of skill level. Itโs a place where we can share our learnings, grow together, and support each other. To now be able to share my experiences through this challenge means a lot, and Iโm thankful for this amazing community. ๐
This is awesome โญ๏ธ

Loving the clever title ๐คช
For anyone curious, 11111101001 is the binary representation of 2025.
Fun fact: In
ASCII
encoding, 2025 corresponds to the Device Control 1 character, which is a non-printable character. Nerdy, right?"Excited to join the challenge!
Hereโs my submission where I reflect on 2024 and share bold predictions for 2025:
