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 :)
@francistrdev At this point, we'll all be replaced with AI by the time the Portfolio gets posted 😉 But jokes aside, take your time, we're all waiting impatiently 😂
Well done on the top 7 and the CALEC! How are you enjoying it sofar?
All good this side, been head down into Qoder, if you havent tried it yet, give it a go, it's really an eye-opener for what AI platforms should be... Speaking of which, I've been using it for 2 major projects, 1, a Dwarf Fortress clone, but written in rust and 2, an agentic IDE (also rust), both going really well and enjoying the process alot!
Awesome recap for July! Keeping up a monthly dev report series takes serious consistency—what’s your process for capturing these highlights throughout the month so you aren't scrambling to remember everything at the end?
Hey Mia. Great question. I usually just write things down. Since there isn't much to write, it's easy to maintain. If there are a lot of articles/videos I liked, I choose my top 3 usually around the end of the month or so. Thanks Mia :D

Thanks Larry!
if the Avengers fail, we still have Dune: Part Three😎
That is true lol
Your articles and GIFs never fail to impress. Drop the tutorial and the link, pretty please 😂🤣
lol no tutorial I followed. Just simply mashed two images/GIF/videos together and it just works XD
I'll have to give it a try next time — spice up my articles with an animated cover and some GIFs, make them more lively and fun 😄
Looking forward to it!
This is really best month for me, believe me.
Francis, congratulations on getting into the Top 7 🎉

Thanks Hemapriya! :D
