🔍 I forgot to mention this a while back. @daniel_possiblekwabi_b57 made a video review of one of my post and I found this randomly on YouTube lol. Check it out if you can!

🔍 I was looking at Portfolio reviews for reference to improve my own and I saw this lol.

🔍 Unrelated Tech stuff. Avengers Doomsday! What do you think? Is it going to be good or bad or meh?

Thanks for the mention...and glad you liked my AMA. I'm thinking of running another one in a couple of months.

FrancisTRᴅᴇᴠ (っ◔◡◔)っ • Jul 27

Not a problem Cesar! Looking forward for another one, though I am curious if it is a recurring thing?

Cesar Aguirre • Jul 27

Not a recurring idea. It started as an experiment with a "what if I run an AMA on dev.to like the ones on Reddit?" I didn't expect that many questions and participation :)
