It's pronounced Diane. I do data architecture, operations, and backend development. In my spare time I maintain Massive.js, a data mapper for Node.js and PostgreSQL.
I get that prompts can be helpful for people who want to write and aren't sure what to cover, but when all four top-level requests are from site staff I can't help but think y'all are trying too hard to set the course.
Hmm perhaps. But I can definitely assure you that it was moreso that we were all sitting in the room and we wanted to give the thread some early examples in case the purpose of the thread wasn't clear. I'd love to see some other posts rise to the top.

There's no "perhaps": it is what I think! :) But it's important to keep in mind that as the staff, when you suggest topics you're asking people to work for you for free -- and that's something to do very, very delicately. Piling in to frontload a request for content like this is anything but.

Thanks so much for the perspective Dian. Was definitely not where our head was at with this, and totally hear where you are coming from.
