I also submitted my Google Gemini Dev Challenge Reflection. Took me a lot of time writing it out:

Overall, great week so far! Can't wait to see more next week! :D
Woohoo!! Thanks for the fix!
Thanks Jess! Will continue to contribute!
Congrats!
Thanks Ben and appreciate the PR merge! Stay tune for more contributions from me and let me know if anything I can do to help :D
If you connect your GitHub account to your DEV account you'll be eligible for a new contributor badge :P
I tend to hold that off because I am using the Alt account and I don't want to get irrational thoughts from it. I notice that you can't connect more than one GitHub account. Was wondering if there is a feature where you can disconnect your GitHub Account on Dev.to if that's possible? Additionally, are you able to manually give me the Dev Contributor Badge if that's ok? Sorry if that's too much to ask from you but hope that makes sense!
If there isn't currently full functionality for disconnecting an account (I forget exactly what's currently possible in that regard), feel free to make a PR attempting to address that. If it's an elegant solution we'd merge it.
I'll manually award you the badge for now.
Thanks Ben! I appreciate it! Will have to double check and make an issue soon if possible!
Wow!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks Sylwia! :D
Released my first-ever game - Sunday DEV Drive, and it turned out way better than I expected, that's the biggest win. ๐ฎโจ
I've already started working on another personal project that I plan to release in a few weeks.
At the same time, I have two more large personal projects in progress. They'll take much longer to finish, but they're going to be really good if everything goes the way I've planned. ๐๐๐
Exciting times!

Congratulations, this is huge!
Thanks for asking! Just passed a little exam this morning. Gave myself a 50% chance. Then the rest of the day was just sunny :)
I have finally kept the procrastinator energy on the back-seat and started documenting what I am doing + tiny experiments. Came back to dev.to after months and really happy to be back!
Just launched our WeCoded Challenge ahead of International Women's Day. This will always be my favorite thing we do at DEV, and I'm super excited to see the Frontend Art that comes out of it this year!
Join the 2026 WeCoded Challenge and Celebrate Underrepresented Voices in Tech Through Writing & Frontend Art ๐จ!

I had to go back on my assumption regarding having the "tutorial" type blogs around Reporails finished... as it turnes out, there's way more to come regarding instruction validations. Read it here.
I recently got accepted into the AWS Community Builders program. ๐ And this actually happened 100% thanks to DEV โ the community manager found me here and encouraged me to apply. ๐
That is so cool! Congrats @sylwia-lask ! ๐
And congrats to the AWS Community Builders too. ๐
I just tested the new Sessions Agentโฆ a great feature that I will definitely use in my articlesโฆ and on a completely different note, I prepared a sfincione for my daughter ;)
I set up a custom DNS server (pi Hole) on my network. My physical network engineering home lab is the biggest ongoing project so far and one of my proudest projects. Several years ago I went from not understanding computers very well to managing linux servers, setting up network devices and in a few days I will be setting up TLS and then a mail server in my home. It is not just the understanding computers part, applying concepts I learned as theory in college to real life feels great.

On Wednesday this week, I delivered a workshop on Virtual Environments, UV (for lightning-fast package management), and RESTful API principles using FastAPI.
This is part of a 5-week workshop series we started at AWS Cloud Club Fast Peshawar, and this was our week 2.
As a technical lead, I believe you can learn more by teaching others. After end of this workshop series, I will share detail post about it on LinkedIn. Feel free to connect with me.
