I've written a book that's no fun, good for ridicule, and it's such a mess. If you are interested in ridiculing my book, feel free to throw your bomb at me after reading The Art Of Messy Code

I stream on my own Twitch channel, but this week, I started a new monthly stream on the cfe.dev YouTube channel. It was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to the next one! Hat tip to @remotesynth for getting this collaboration happening!

Sup, folks! Even though I've been living under a heavy rock, the Dev goodies I've been eagerly waiting for have finally arrived! Huge thanks go out to the amazing Forem team for their dedication and hard work in sending these awesome items. The mug they sent is just gigantic and looks amazing! amirite?

dope stuff

To be honest, I don't think I'll be wearing these goodies; they're too special to me. I've decided to preserve them in a locked closet as cherished memories. On another note, there are a couple of items that haven't arrived yet, but no worries! I totally understand if it's a headache to send stuff abroad. The support from the Forem team means a lot to us programmers, and we truly appreciate it. Thanks again, you guys are absolute geniuses!

Some of the items that haven't arrived yet:
dope stickers
dope backpack

And hey, I just spotted some super cool new items featured on the home page! I'm really digging them. I think it's time to join a hackathon and try my luck at getting some of those goodies. They're just too awesome to pass up, amirite?

dope stuff

Not only that, but I also managed to launch this little product that totally outshines our skills. Seriously, AI is ridiculously good at everything! It's mind-blowing! 😄 I know some of you might be curious about what I'm up to! It's all in good fun, I promise! I'm just trying out this super cool and exciting experiment with the help of some awesome tools like Coda. It's fascinating to explore the possibilities! 😉

P.S. I like TypeScript, but it is not my favorite language. Have a good day/evening, ma frens!

With #anxiety I presented a well received display of Graylog with the hope of being able to introduce standard logging practices to our work environment.
If not, well at least I learned a TON about it all and will operationalize it for my home network :)

My win this week was that a first person started helping me with my project!

My amazing neumorphism html & css website using Github API hosted with github

Neumorphism Website + Github API

This project showcases my GitHub repositories and allows you to explore the projects I've been working on. It uses the GitHub API to fetch the project data and displays it in a user-friendly format.


THERE IS A LIMITED TOKEN REQUEST; WHY IT MAY BE PARTIALLY NOT WORKING!


If you like my project, I would appreciate your support with a star !

Introduction

Welcome to my GitHub Projects showcase! This project highlights the repositories I've been working on and provides a visually appealing and user-friendly interface to explore them.

I finally created my blog after so much procastination about it. Please check it out on softwaresennin.dev

Now I am working on crossposting my articles on dev, medium, hashnodeand codenewbie. Anyone interested in this, please reach out so we can work on it. I am coding it with python

Woot woot! Really happy to hear that you're crossposting with us here, Lionel. 😀

I think you're already doing this, but in case not, you can connect your blog to dev via Publishing to DEV Community from RSS (available in extensions) and import posts onto DEV, which makes it a bit easier to cross-post articles. Note that you need to have RSS set up for your blog, but once you do that, you can get rolling with it.

Just gave it a read! Really nice concise explanation of event loops and the callstack.

To be honest with you, I'm a community manager here at dev, but not a developer myself. That said, I could understand this nice and clearly! Appreciate ya sharing your knowledge with us here and thanks for teaching me something. 🙂

Our team powered through 😴 and won at AugmentHack's Decentralized AI Hackathon with "Verifiable" (verifiable, LLM model training with content creator licensing) & at EthParis with "Prompt3" (decentralized prompt engineering)!! 🚀

It was pretty exciting to be working on projects at the crossroads of Blockchain & AI, and we're looking forward to continuing! Both were made possible by our underlying tech which enable verifiable, self-sovereign data and Web3 payments pretty easily -- would love for anyone here to take a look at our docs or latest open-source bulletproofs repo for easy zkp implementation.
