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. ❤️
Thank you for the shoutout! :D
Hey @erina_olinick_8195c361b0, thank you for the shoutout
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 see a Dark Knight theme building for this week

Are You Ashamed of Your Old Code?

After reading for a while, I had created a Dev.to account and started writing my journey 👋🏻
Wooohooo! Awesome to have ya with us here. 🙌
Mind I ask what is your profile picture? I have seen multiple users with the same style of picture, just wondering.
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!
Thanks for clarifying! My mind slowly slipped into wild places about hacker groups and bot networks, haha. Glad to know these are just default photos. 😅
Haha! All good, Lev. 😄
To your point, spammers/bots/hackers do occasionally join DEV, and frequently they'll just have one of our default pics. I think it's because often they're moving quickly and creating throwaway accounts, most of the time to drop backlinks to some shady place on the internet. And they do this, every. freaking. day. 😱😂
Luckily, we got mods and various procedures that are helping us to regularly remove these accounts.
In any case, I think our new friend dbx is good people. They shared a cool, helpful post earlier this week, so we can let our digital guard down. 🙂
Ya @michaeltharrington right, @lnahrf I will update it soon.
spend the last week learning and created a Product Comparision which was much appreciated and featured in couple of technology weekly new letter...
Sweet comparison! Appreciate ya sharing your post.

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 libraryAll 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.
Writing this and getting featured🫠

That looks like an amazing project you made there! ✨
Thank you 😊 👍
these look like a win for me already.. cheers
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.
I started learning Go.
I've been curious about Go for maybe two years. I recently decided that I'm not interested in pursuing Django (using for 2 years) or Rails (using for a year) anymore, so it seemed like a good time to pick up a new language.
I was able to create an AI-based CRM system in 5 minutes using Magic :)
Note, to be specific, I was able to figure out how to create a process that allows everybody to do it ...
spent last week in research and did publish a blog :)
