Oh rock on, Ben! Congrats on the little one!
Hey, I just went through your fliqr.codes. May I know which technology was used here? I am also a Laravel developer and want to create something similar for my personal development.

🍕 I got a large pizza with a 1.5 litre soft drink at a discount! ✨
💖 My favourite win was a win for everybody! I learned that DEV listens to us! Thank you SO much for all your hard work! I love you guys! ✨
Can I have a slice. That looks good.
It was very good and it had meat (chicken) on it for a change 😊
Awww, thanks a bunch. We are indeed listening! And by the way, thank you, Anita, for sharing your honest thoughts with us. It's super helpful!

What brought me the most satisfaction was to shoot the video storytelling in a single shot:
I'll use this content to explain this technology around me to help people jump in the trains
Wow! Good stuff all around, Adriens. And major congrats on shooting that video in a single take. 52 minutes non-stop is no joke. Rock on!
Thanks a lot for the very kind words ☺️
Yup, I had the feeling and let the flow happen. The flow state really is my favorite feeling. I specially like to prepare the storytelling mentally then do the job.

Congrats on the wins, Travis! Heard many a good thing about Palworld... might have to check this out soon.
I started working on a command-line client for Dev.to :)
Edit: I published an article about it!
Wooooaaa! This is awesome Kaamkiya. You planning on sharing a post about this when it's ready? Side note: we need to have a good dedicated tag for folks to share DEV-related apps under... I'll look into that!
I definitely will :)
Following the cool format of @lilxyzz comment..

Let's goo
Woot woot! Sounds like a good week, Renan.
As for the study project, it sounds dope! I'd like to hear about that one. You planning on using some APIs to grab that info?
Heyy @michaeltharrington, sorry to be late 😅
Yess, I'll use the Yelp API. Basically, on the website I'll ask and get your location and based on your latitude and longitude I get a list of places around you, and with that I'll set up a structure to get the best rated ones and show them on the screen.
I started implementing React components with
@preact/signals-reactand figured many working patterns to use. This is the most delight I've had working with React in a long time! During the past three years I've grown increasingly weary of how much work you have to do to make well performing components.With signals I can skip many React pain points. I also mixed in more use of native addEventListener & other DOM which have combined into compact and very efficient code inside the light React wrapping.
Downsides so far:
useSignals()manually to every component using signals because I haven't bothered to use the Babel pluginThe new components are extracted logic of a very huge and complex main component which I am now finally refactoring to sensible and more well abstracted pieces. I worked a lot with this same component three years ago but then I focused mostly on fixing usability and performance, and cleaned up the code to be at least readable. To put it as nicely as I can, the original solution was clearly written by people who did not have frontend as their main focus.
This Week, I took a step in AI/ML world. I only plan on looking around for about a month though ('cause of my Annual Exams).
Right on! Sounds like your focus is in the right place, Saurav. Hope the AI explorations go well for ya!
Yeah, Thanks!
The biggest thing this week for me was that I finished the first part of the Java Programming course from the University of Helsinki.

I'll continue with some projects of my own before continuing with part 2.
Nice! That's what's up. Hope part 2 goes nicely for ya!
@michaeltharrington share your wins with us
Hey Stefan! Thank ya for the ping.
And haha, it must be a pizza kinda week. You and @anitaolsen are making me hungry for a slice!
So, I've got a few wins:
A number of us on the team have been working on our FAQ/help page here... while it's not a secret, I don't think we've announced this yet, so you're kinda getting ahead of the scoop here.
I went and played music with a group of folks I don't usually play music with on Tuesday and it was a lotta fun. It was very casual, I was the youngest by far, and we played a lot of old folk and Americana tunes together. Good times!
I've been steadily working out the past few weeks and feel like I'm seeing noticeable gains in strength!
Congrats on the wins, stay with them
Big wins and kitty grins this week! 🐈✨
• Just dropped our first Dev.to post for 2024. Gonna be way more chatty here this year!
• Finally announced our new bot hosting service. Big step for us, kinda nervous but super stoked!
• Almost nailed our Pub/Sub setup for those live deployment logs. It’s been a ride, but so worth it.
