✨ Dev.to Posts Highlights! ✨
Here is one of the posts I am proud of for this month!
Talked about networking and how it is something we all know that is helpful for our career, but is hard to do for many reasons.
Here is the top 3 posts that I have discovered that stood out to me!
@codingwithjiro The importance about maintaining a developer mindset in the age of AI. Also, talking about challenging yourself, asking questions, and maintaining discipline whenever you are using AI tools or not.
@dj29 Opening a discussion about which AI do you use for specific use cases such as using one AI to do essays or another AI to do code work.
@annavi11arrea1 GitHub Action that shows your dev.to follower that you can put on your README.MD :)

I can start by sharing my favorite article on DEV this year.
Learning Starts After Graduation
@itsugo Made an article about how students learn more after graduation since we are all so focus on getting good grades at school and not realizing that there are important skills outside of school that we have to do, but can't since we are so busy.
It was also the first time I met Aryan and is my first follower on DEV! :)
Hope you still be around here sometime!!
This... Cuz honestly, who doesnt want DEV.to to be a 3d library?
Shift from AI vibe coding to real debugging
I Turned DEV.to Into a Walkable 3D Library — Debugging It Has Been a Nightmare
If you havent checked it out yet, part 2 is just as cool!
Sanity Challenge Path Two Submission
I Tried to Prompt a 3D DEV Library Into Existence. Then I Had to Build My Own Level Editor.
Very nice refresh on the layout! Though I'm docking points for portfolio postponed again... 😂
Listen the only thing I changed on that portfolio is the Pokeball Optimization lmao
Fair, dont want anyone judging you where it counts 😂 But remember, the whole point of post for review, is so you can get feedback and grow? Even an incomplete, imperfect one is ideal, that way you dont commit too deep, before someone gives you a pointer you resonate with.
Dont do what I do, dont gatekeep till you think it's perfect, cuz then all feedback is seen as criticism and you miss out on feedback for all that time you were polishing. Cuz if I had released Dwarven Stronghold back when it just used emojis, it'd probably be live now, instead im over 10m LOC in and it'll only run once the next 1k files are all updated (another 1m LOC), eventually enough is enough to start with, it doesnt have to be flawless day 1.
That's fair! Also, feel free to share your favorite article on DEV (if you have one) on the comments based on the special announcement!
Solid progress @francistrdev! Let's keep improving!
