[Ayu Adiati]

My first article on freeCodeCamp got published! 🥰

It's one of my big wins because freeCodeCamp helped me a lot at the beginning of my webdev learning journey. So it feels good to give back to the community. ✨️

[Dumebi Okolo]

Way to go! 🥳

[Ayu Adiati]

Thank you, @dumebii! 😄

[Retiago Drago]

Can you share on how to publish your first article on freecodecamp?

[Ayu Adiati]

First, I had to apply to become a writer at freeCodeCamp. After got accepted, then I wrote the draft of the article. Then they reviewed and published the article.

[Barry Michael Doyle]

Whoop whoop! Congratulations!

[Ayu Adiati]

Thanks, Barry! 😄

[Ewenike Chukwuemeka Emmanuel👨‍💻]

Amazing, freeCodeCamp helped me too

[Michael Tharrington]

Wooohoo! That is seriously awesome, Ayu. Major congrats! 🙌

[Ayu Adiati]

Thank you, Michael! 😄

[Andy Piper]

Wrote about and made some code contributions to Postmarks, social bookmarks for the Fediverse! And then, we went camping 🌿 🏕️

Social bookmarks in the Fediverse

[Michael Tharrington]

Loving the setup! Hope ya enjoy the great outdoors, Andy. 🏕🚙

Also, excellent #fediverse post — love the idea of postmarks and being able to share bookmarks. 🙌

This reminds me that I previously relayed a feature request for adding a similar mechanic to DEV in this GitHub discussion called Allow folks to share reading lists. I think I may have to go back to this one and advocate for it. 🙂

It would offer a brand new way for folks to be able to interact with content... build a link list of posts you like and share it. Plus, it would jive well with our current reading list. It's a win-win... the person building the list can organize their reads and hopefully get some cred for sharing a cool list + the authors of the posts in the list get to have their posts shared in a collection and seen by more folks.

Nice!

I created the react-state-factory node module, which helps to make the useReducer great again. You can read more about it here:

Took most of the week off!

[Michael Tharrington]

Ooooo nice! I just got back from some time off recently too. Had last Friday + Monday and Tuesday off... I went to the Outer Banks (the beach) and it was so refreshing! 😌

[Barry Michael Doyle]

Did you find any treasures there? ;)

[Michael Tharrington]

Haha!! Not this time around. Saw a lotta metal detectors out there sweeping the coastline though. 🙂

[Barry Michael Doyle]

I guess you better go back again then ;)

I finally am getting attention on a side project I have been working on for years! I haven't been very good about promoting it, granted, but it's still good to start seeing other people using it.

[Nick]

The project looks interesting, I hope to play around with it soon!

[Michael Tharrington]

Oh that's awesome to hear, Michael!

modulo.js sounds really cool btw, glad it's getting some well-deserved attention. 🙌

[Davide de Paolis]

definitely speaking at the AWS Community Day in Munich!!! speaking at a conference was one of my early goals ✅
and even beside being a speaker, just being there and getting to know great people was a win for itself!

[Medea]

I've got another brilliant idea for a project and made a poster.
I've also launched a waitlist for the project so anyone interested can join!

Waitlist

[Srikanth]

• Took a half day on Friday, just to slow down and relax.
• Refactored a messy piece of code that was giving me stress. Mainly due to the said messy code was written by me. I was trying to follow my own advice., and it was a good choice.
• Resumed my learning journey with Go

[Juan F Gonzalez]

I finished a whole 6-week program and even though I didn't complete the project, I submitted the weekly updates made it all the way to demo day (which is tomorrow Sept 16).

Also, I'm not totally sick after all that odyssey!

[Keith Solomon]

Bashed together a shell script (see what I did there? 😂) to automate some of the manual processes that were tripping up the juniors when starting a new project. It’s not done yet (still have a few more actions to integrate), but as a 1.0, it totally works.

[Shinji NAKAMATSU]

Joined DEV's Discord for moderators!

I solved a problem related to SSR in Next.js and published an article based on it.
