What was your win this week?

Hey my peeps 👋

Hope that everybody has a wonderful weekend. 😀

Looking back on this past week, what was something you were proud of accomplishing?

All wins count — big or small 🎉

Examples of 'wins' include:

  • Starting a new project
  • Fixing a tricky bug
  • Spending time outside 🥾🌻

Hey y'all! Seeking some inspiration to share your wins? Check out these highlights from last week's thread: @juandadev secured a new job; @thormeier rocked impactful tech outreach, introducing 14 girls to software development; and @adhirajk wowed us with some stellar blogging. And a special shoutout to @nombrekeff for an amazing coding comeback—overcoming challenges and sharing mental health insights.

These achievements will also be featured in our Weekly Wins newsletter, which goes out every Friday. We love cheering you on and getting inspired. Thank you so much for being such an integral part of the DEV community. ❤️

I built a lot of the AI code in Semantic Kernel for my workshop in January and a conference talk I'm giving in early December. I've got my own little mini-Bat Computer at this point.

I suspect I've spent much too long reading Java internals manuals in order to re-implement the appletviewer (remember that?), on top of my existing re-implementation of the Swing GUI library

All this just so I can run a #retrocomputing emulator of the Texas Instruments TI-59 calculator I found: git.sr.ht/~phlash/appletviewer

You: Phil, you're mad and nerdy!
Me: ....yeah, you got me.

Good question, Lev. I believe those animal photos are our generic profile pics for folks who haven't yet set their pic. Some folks choose not to set one but we need to put something in there, so that's what that's all about!

I've reached a milestone with the app I'm writing; all the features I planned for the MVP are working. I just need to add a settings page so other people can use it, since the user-specific details are still hardwired specifically for my own use.
