Four new badges in the bag.
Not too bad, eh? 😏
That is an amazing badge
Absolutely! Each one is precious.💎
Haha definitely could be worse 😂
There should be a badge for getting 4 or more badges in a week 😂
I got a new badge
I love this "++" on my profile <3
Congrats! And yes, this "++" is a nice little reminder you've done something special.
oh wow, that is certainly a cool reward!! looks super official! <3 congrats on the win :)
Was a great week! Attended networking events around my city, made progress on some projects, wrote my weekly post here on dev.to, and have been following a new fitness program.
Good stuff
AWESOME WEEK! I am one of the TOP 5 to win the Google Gemini Writing Challenge! This is my third challenge on dev.to and within 3 months, I won my first challenge! Great Milestone:
Congrats to the "Built with Google Gemini: Writing Challenge" Winners!
So great to see other people's post! Here is my article for that challenge!
Built with Google Gemini: Writing Challenge

Meme Monday
I have made 4+ PR for Forem and was wondering about the 4x Dev Contributor Club badge. Not seeing any info about it since I just notice it.
Other than that, historical week for me! So excited to see what's coming next week :D
Oh wow! You really are on fire!🔥
Thanks! Can't wait what accomplishments I will make in another 3 months!!
Finally got v1.5 of zeroMcp out. Spent far too long trying to get Resources, Prompts and Templates to be returned by MCP. And then spent even longer trying to get Codex to recognise prompts, before finding it out doesn't support them.
Congrats!
This week, I built a simple backend project, a payment proof tracker for freelancers.
It’s still early, but it can track projects, add payment proof, and mark it as pending, verified, and rejected.
Kinda proud of myself for finally shipping it after overthinking it for a while.
If you’re curious, here’s my post: the link
Biggish release on an open source project that I maintain. It's all been maintained in my spare time, I had hoped to get some dependency updates and new features 2 weekends back but it drifted into last weekend. One final big push on Sunday got it over the line.
Got my portfolio site updated as well and applied for a few new roles.
I also went and saw Project Hail Mary, I read the book a few summers back, loved it and I am pleased to say I was thorougly impressed with the film as well!
Nice! Sounds like you've been super productive.
I really want to see Project Hail Mary on 70mm.
I definitley recommend it, probably one of the best films I've seen in a while. Yeah I can only imagine it on something like a 70mm IMAX, even on a standard screen the scenes around Adrian were breathtaking.
That being said ironically the visuals are not the stand out in this movie, for me it was all about the story, I just walked away from the film feeling more upbeat and optimistic about, well, everything. I love films that do that to us.
my win this week was finally figuring out why my dashboard took 47 seconds to load, turns out i was making 30k databse queries for like 200 users lol, begginers errors I think, week was humbling but at least i learned what N+1 queries are the hard way
Write a dev.to article about it. I'm sure people would find it useful
I launched Earleaf (an audiobook app that I built for myself) and somehow got featured in a Boing Boing article, so it got some attention and actually made a few sales. Would never have thought that I'd make a single buck from this app, so it was a nice surprise. 😄
That's just delightful news!
Two Reddit posts went semi-viral in 3 days. One about Xiaomi's MiMo-V2-Pro competing with Anthropic on AI benchmarks hit 118K views on r/singularity. Then today a "I ripped Redux out of a production app" post is climbing on r/reactjs: 14K views in the first hour. Also been building out a content cluster around running AI locally for different professions. Productive week.
Share your redux post!
The Reddit post about redux was taken down just shortly after I wrote that 😂 it was a rework of this blogpost: aimadetools.com/blog/stop-using-re...
