✨ Dev.to Posts Highlights! ✨

Here is one of the posts I am proud of for this month!

Made a Dev.to Guide for Beginners and I am proud of making it short as possible! Am glad that others see this guide very useful. If you have any feedback, feel free to leave a comment! That post will continuously be updated to make the best beginners guide possible!

 

Here is the top 3 posts that I have discovered that stood out to me!

@konark_13 Talks about his experience tech after leaving his job based on his experience with connections and other resources that helped him.

@miams Created a Chrome Extension Minimalist TODO list that is design to be straightforward, especially those who have ADHD.

@annavi11arrea1 Created a Chrome Extension tool that allows you to find jobs much easier. A very useful management tool for those who are doing job searches :D


Monthly Discovery 🔍

  • 🔍 Someone convinced Claude to hack the Government.

Still working on... 🔨

  • 🔨 Creating an MVP idea for my upcoming Full-stack app. I will post a Dev log next week on my progress. Note that this is part of the assignment for my University, so information will be limited.

  • 🔨 Post at least one article each on my learning in Full-Stack. This will be part of my Dev log as mention in the first bulletin point.

Goals for Next Month 🎯

  • 📝 Start releasing Dev Logs for my Full Stack App every week.
  • 📝 Merge at least 1 PR on the Official Forem Repository. Additionally, create a series where I talk about my Pull Requests in detail. I am thinking of calling it "Forem Contribute News". Let me know what you guys think!
  • 📝 Continue interacting with the Dev.to community.

Good job! "What else should I do for April": Check out Sebastian Lague and Acerola channels. These are some of my favorite channels on YouTube.
