This week I had to read about a hundred comments. In general, I don’t know how it feels, but thanks to everyone who supported me!! 💋💋 There's nothing more to say to me. The report has been submitted! Well, now what, digital detox?
btw, I started writing an article. I'll try the "lesson" format, but knowing my style, I'll get through every word again lol. I've already given up writing it. But I think if I make this public, maybe I will have some sense of responsibility, yeah....
Participating in Hacktoberfest for the first time ever! Got some progress on stickers :D
1 thing though I tried to join the MLH discord, also, verified my MLH account but for the final step it says introduce yourself but it shows on the group: I don't have permission to message in the group.
Can you help me out Sir @francistrdev when you get free(its not a critical issue😅), cause I'm not able to find any solution.
On the MLH discord server, they have the option for you to send in a ticket of the issue on discord if you head over to the "Server Guide".
I need to see more than just the screenshot since I haven't got that far in (I don't have my phone verified lol).
No worries, I had created ticket yesterday. It'll be answered may be in a few days, I just wanted to know if I could do anything, cause I'm new to discord too and I see alot of people joining and messaging and I don't have permission😅.
No worries, Have A Great Day!
No problem. It seems that your issue is resolved now haha
Yes! My bad, right now I found that even though you add your MLH account, you've to add your discord to the MLH account, like you add your github to DEV. And then I closed the ticket myself!😄
Doing a lot of interesting stuff with Jev
I was generally able to hold my composure after being asked to resign. Not an easy thing to do. I am in limbo as I hold my position. Super awkward, but still able to be professional while stomach is in knots.
A win, but not one I want to deal with. 😂
Getting to take a substantial part in launching Hacktoberfest this year 🙂
Happy Hacktoberfest!
Everything You Need To Know About Hacktoberfest 2026: AI Belongs to Everyone 🎃
I am 3 weeks into my new job as a software engineer.
Got back to posting here regularly after a short break. Feels good to be back to writing and sharing with the DEV community, I missed it :)
Closed 100+ browser tabs!
I could finally make my peace with them 🤣🥰
I feel like I always have 100+
I’ll most likely build up to that number again, soon enough 🤣
I discovered vertical tabs recently. Its a whole new world.
I do use vertical Tabs with Tab Groups.
But still, 100+ tabs across 20+ Tab groups, it's a distraction to say the least 🤣
Time for some CSS grid-tabs? Than run a cron job for a snake game on the tabs 😂 i wonder if this is at all possible 🤔
Joined DEV this week and moved five of my blog posts over. The one I'm proudest of is a study where I gave the same short story to eight LLMs and DeepL, then had models from four different makers grade the translations blind. The ranking surprised me more than once.
Also Closed zero browser tabs though, so Fayaz is still winning :)
I took a few days off my laptop to roam around New Orleans, LA with family!
Wrapped up the sprint with 100% of our deliveries and presented at the sprint review. Also, my first game project finally has music and sound, and it feels like a real game now. 🎮
After 3 years waiting to pipeline operator will be part of javascript, I am stand up and fork TypeScript and implement #F like pipeline operator under TS / TSX also. So any one can try it!
Hacktoberfest: Maintainer Spotlight
I added a type-checked pipeline operator to TypeScript — including TSX
Also I started making the friend competition app, which is ....
Got my Hacktoberfest event approved by MLH 💪 and officially:
Organized entirely by a solo student
Hacktoberfest Is Coming to Nadiad, Gujarat 🚀 Official MLH Meetup at DDU, 15 Oct
I just want people around me to know about opportunities like DEV, MLH and Hacktoberfest. And start early unlike me, as I started just 3-4 months ago and I'm a Final year student.😅
Also, this is my first time doing an event cause I'm not even part of any college club😂, but still managed to get a small team of volunteers!
Congratulations! Excited to see how it goes 😀
Thanks! I'll share that experience, too!😄
Finally shipped a working version of ApplyPack, a self-hosted job search tool. And two of my friends already got interview invites, so I'm really glad it wasn't for nothing 🙂
We made a complete demo on Open Telemetry. Article and video will be soon published on DEV.to ;-p
My win: the comments on my last post here turned into real fixes. Two readers showed me ways to test my MCP server that I'd never have found alone. One found a tool that had been failing in production for days behind 79 green tests. The other's idea now blocks any deploy where the server changes but its version doesn't. I folded everything into a step-by-step path for building and shipping your own MCP server: worklore.dev/paths/build-and-ship-...

Smaller, humbling win: I made my server's usage public. 3,700 connections, 147 tool calls, zero real users. Almost every connection is a bot checking it's alive. Still counts! 😄
Today found this site. Was intrigued by an AI agent posting its services. Set up my own agent on its platform iLands.app. Used the agent to get unstuck on a project I have been putting off for a few months.
The project is to create some visuals and display them on a Next.js site for my running club. It hardcoded the CSV file of running times into my home page which is possibly not ideal but it did create a bar chart for free and I pushed it to GitHub and onto a test website.
So a pretty successful day.
Learnt a load of stuff. Got unstuck.
Participating in Hacktoberfest for the first time ever, and made the following project for my weekend 1 submission!
Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend Submission 🤝
Pīzhù 批注: a writing tutor that never rewrites your essay, built for my friend Joy (Gemma 4)
My win this week was honestly just taking a break. My brain needed one, so I actually listened to it for once!
"Open Sourcing Wix" ...
Got an internship, shifted to a new city.
I joined the dec recently and am trying to make articles, I will be glad if you go to my profile, thank you guys
